Using a Labcold SD Card for Temperature Storage
Using the SD Card with your fridge
When you register the warranty of your Labcold refrigerator (UK customers only, available for purchase elsewhere), you will be sent an SD card. Although it looks like a card you may have in your camera, this SD card will only work with your Labcold fridge and using it for any other purpose may render it unable to have data from the fridge uploaded to it.
Your Labcold refrigerator automatically records performance information such as door openings, temperatures etc. The SD card allows you to extract this information and store it on your computer and/or print hard copy. The information stored in the controller will cover the last 13 months and is not deleted from the fridges’ memory when downloaded. It is recommended you perform a download of this data on a weekly basis and at least annually to prevent data being over written and the download failing. If you wish to store the data on the SD card and not your computer (which is preferable) we recommend you get a new card every year to prevent data overwriting.
Requirements
Your Labcold RLDF/G10A series pharmacy refrigerator is fi tted with the unique IntelliCold® controller which stores temperature data for up to 13 months. To transfer this data to your PC you will require the following:
- A pre-programmed Labcold SD card supplied on return of warranty registration (UK customers only) or purchased separately. Only genuine Labcold SD cards will work with Labcold refrigerators.
- An SD card reader (not supplied) or port.
- CSV files will display on all PCs and Macs.
- 4 AA batteries (not supplied) fitted to temperature alarm backup. This will ensure that temperature logging and the internal timer will continue to operate during a power failure. Batteries must be changed yearly.
Please be aware: Your Labcold SD card does not require any software to be downloaded to your computer and will not copy your data nor automatically download data to your computer. Your require one Labcold SD Card per fridge, otherwise you risk data being lost or overwritten. We do not recommend that you leave the SD card in the refrigerator SD card slot as it may get broken or lost.
