Common Questions
20 totalWhat is the 'd-o' alarm and how do I clear it?
The 'd-o' alarm is displayed if the door remains open for more than 90 seconds, at which point the audible alarm will sound. Unlike some other alarms, this one does not cancel automatically when the door is closed — you must press the Mute button to clear it and turn off the red alarm indicator. (Page 18–19)
What steps should I take before moving a fully loaded IntelliCold® Pharmacy Refrigerator?
Before moving the refrigerator, switch it off and disconnect from its mains supply. Disconnect wiring to the External Alarm Connector.

Instructions For Use
C403-003-E
Page 14 of 62 6.1 Initial Start-Up Behaviour – When first switched on, all icons and buttons will illuminate. Because the refrigerator interior has not yet reached operating temperature, the controller will alarm; the alarm will sound, and the display will show the red alarm indicator.
– After a few seconds, the controller will start alternating between the current temperatures, either t°1 (air probe) or t°2 (load probe) and active temperature-high alarm screens, (example below shows screens for t°1)
– Press to temporarily silence the audible alarm.
– The alarm will recall and resound periodically until the refrigerator has reached set temperature, this is quite normal; just wake the controller (see section 8.1.2) and repeat the mute process if required.
Although the refrigerator will reach 5 °C within approximately one hour, allow it to stabilise for 24 hours before loading temperature-sensitive vaccines or pharmaceuticals
7 General Use
Once stabilised at its set temperature you can begin using your IntelliCold® Pharmacy Refrigerator. When loading it is important that the following guidelines are followed;Load pre-cooled products only. The device is not suitable for cooling down items that are not already at the correct storage temperature.
Only store temperature-sensitive healthcare products within the device. Storage of cold packs, food, or other non-medical items may affect performance and compromise safety.
Only store items on the shelves or in the drawers provided. Ensure that stored items do not touch each other, as this can restrict airflow and may lead to ice formation
Ensure stored items are not packed too closely together. This allows effective air circulation for even cooling and stable temperature.
Do not allow stored items to touch the door, wall or the bottom of the fridge. Contact with surfaces can block airflow and cause uneven cooling or freezing, risking product damage and temperature excursions.
Do not block airflow to the internal fan. Blocking the fan will disrupt air circulation, causing temperature instability.
Always distribute stock evenly throughout the device. Even distribution prevents hot/cold spots and maintains uniform temperature

8 Operating Elements
8.1 The IntelliCold® Controller 8.1.1 Overview The IntelliCold® Controller, located on the front of your IntelliCold® Pharmacy Refrigerator, has been specifically designed by Labcold to ensure the safe storage of temperature-sensitive products such as vaccines, medicines, samples, and reagents. This advanced touchscreen controller displays the temperature measured by two probes:– Fixed Probe (t°1): Located at the back of the refrigerator to monitor air temperature. – Movable Load Probe: (t°2): Can be positioned by you, for example inside a product pack, to monitor load temperature.
In addition, the refrigerator includes a third probe:
– Low Limit Detection Probe (t°3): Permanently located at the bottom of the chamber to help prevent contents from freezing. This probe does not display on the controller screen, but it continuously monitors for low temperatures. If it detects an air temperature below 2°C, the controller will:
• Trigger an alarm • Display t3L on the screen • Temporarily stop the compressor to allow the temperature to recover
This feature protects against freezing in situations such as fan failure, where cold air may settle at the bottom while the t°1 probe still reads a safe temperature.
If t3L appears on the display, the anti-freeze countermeasure has activated and your samples remain safe. However, this alarm indicates a fault condition that requires attention. Contact the Labcold Service Team (see section 18) immediately for advice and to arrange inspection or repair. Do not ignore this alarm, even if the temperature appears normal.
8.1.2 Waking the Controller Unlike traditional controllers with physical buttons, the IntelliCold® Controller uses capacitive touch technology, similar to a smartphone or tablet. When you place your hand near the screen the controller will wake, the icons and controls will appear, allowing you to access various functions.
Like a mobile phone screen, the touch interface may not respond if you are wearing gloves.
30 seconds after waking the controller the icons/buttons will disappear from the front of the controller, and it will return to normal running mode; displaying temperature alternately with any active alarms.
Terminology in this manual:
– Press means touch the icon or button as you would an app on your phone. – Press and hold means keep your finger on the icon or button until the controller confirms the action. (The controller emits an audible tone to confirm that your input has been registered).

Figure 8: Castors - applying the brake
If the floor is uneven, use suitable shims under the castors to achieve stability. 8.6 Internal Fan The air within the refrigerated chamber of the IntelliCold® Pharmacy Refrigerator is fan-circulated. The operation of this internal fan(s) (see Figure 1) is vital to the correct operation of the device.
Do not block airflow to the internal fan. Doing so will lead to loss of performance.
The fan will turn off whenever the door is opened, this helps to prevent warm air from entering. 8.7 Simulated Load All IntelliCold® Pharmacy Refrigerators are fitted with a maintenance-free, solid-sate, ‘Simulated Load’ (see Figure 1). This component replicates the thermal characteristics of a small vial and is equivalent to the thermal capacity of 5mL of water.
The Simulated Load houses the t°2 probe, allowing the controller the ability to accurately estimate stock temperature.
By default, the Simulated Load and its probe are secured in the storage clip. However, they can be unclipped and repositioned anywhere within the refrigerated chamber if monitoring a specific area is required.
Alternatively, the t°2 probe can be removed from the Simulated Load and placed within a load that better represents typical stock, if desired. 8.8 Drip Tray All IntelliCold® Pharmacy Refrigerators are fitted with a Drip Tray. This can be found inside the refrigerated chamber at the rear (see Figure 1).
Any condensation that forms will be collected by the Drip Tray and directed, via its drain port, to the external Condensate Removal Tray so that it will be evaporated-off.
Press downward to engage brake
IntelliCold Pharmacy (RLDF/G24)
Instructions For Use
C403-003-E
Page 30 of 62 8.9 Condensate Removal Tray All IntelliCold® Pharmacy Refrigerators are fitted with a maintenance-free, heated, Condensate Removal Tray. Any condensate collected by the Drip Tray passes into the Condensate Removal Tray where it is automatically evaporated-off. The Condensate Removal Tray can be found at the rear of the IntelliCold® Pharmacy Refrigerator.
8.10 Access Port All IntelliCold® Pharmacy Refrigerators are fitted with an Access Port.
In circumstances where the use of a supplementary, external temperature monitoring system is required any wired sensors passing from it and into the refrigerated chamber should be routed through the Access Port provided. This port can be found at the rear of the IntelliCold® Pharmacy Refrigerator (see Figure 2).
Once the sensors are fitted, the area around their wires, where they pass through the Access Port, should be sealed with a pliable, non-hardening sealing compound, such as a putty, to prevent condensation.
Do not route wires / cables through the door. Doing so will compromise the effectiveness of the seal and can lead to loss of performance.
Replace caps/bung when Access Port is not in use. Failure to do so may cause condensation to form around the port and can lead to loss of performance.
When placing supplementary temperature sensors, ensure they do not make direct contact with shelves or walls of the device. Doing so may lead to inaccurate air temperature readings
Labcold offer several temperature monitoring systems, including wireless monitoring systems (see section 9.4) and data loggers (see section 9.5).
8.11 Shelves For models RLDF/G0524, 1024, and 1524, fit shelves as follows:

11.1.3 Drip Tray It is recommended that the Drip Tray (see Figure 1) and drainage hole be checked and cleared of any debris, if required, once a week during normal use, to prevent accidental blockages.
Should standing water be observed in the drip tray then the drainage hole has been obstructed and should be cleared using a suitable semi-flexible implement.
11.2 Maintenance 11.2.1 Door Gasket (Seal) The door gasket(s) should be visually checked for deterioration and air leakage at least once each week.
The integrity of the door gasket is crucial. An ineffective seal can lead to frost build-up and compromised thermal performance
To check the door gasket for air leakage;
The most unfavourable points may be found by inspecting the area round the seal with the device closed and illuminated from the inside.
If the door does not seal properly, the gasket may need replacing or the door may need adjustment.

Page 38 of 62 11.2.2 Defrosting Although your IntelliCold® Pharmacy Refrigerator features automatic off-cycle defrosting, it is recommended that it is defrosted manually if there is a build-up of ice. This can happen for a number of reasons, for example in times of high humidity, if the door has been opened for a long time, the refrigerator is overstocked or the ambient temperature is high.
It is essential that you unplug the refrigerator from the mains to prevent electric shock and transfer the contents where they can be stored and monitored at the correct temperatures before defrosting.
To defrost you should:
Do not use a sharp implement to remove ice as this will damage the internal surface of the fridge.
Risk of slippage. During defrosting water may leak from the device.
It may be prudent to place paper towels or similar around the device to catch any excess water that cannot be accommodated by the condensate removal tray.
To stop the alarm sounding during loss of mains power, temporarily remove the four AA batteries from the device.
11.2.3 Maintenance Service Contracts Labcold offers a variety of annual maintenance service contracts designed to provide users with support and peace of mind. Please visit www.labcold.com for further details.

• Separate the drawer from its metal frame (the two are packed together for shipping purposes) • Lower the drawer frame onto the four shelf supports. • Ensure the supports fully engage with the holes on the underside of the drawer frame.
Each drawer comes with two white plastic clips.
How to fit them: • Find the holes at the back of the drawer runner frame (one on each side). • Push a clip into each hole, making sure: o The pointed end of the clip is at the bottom. o The point faces outward (away from the drawer).
Push the white clips into the shelf racking as far as they will go. Clips will not fully engage but will prevent tipping when the drawer is fully extended. Ensure support locates in hole (4 locations)

Digital Lock Operation
If your IntelliCold® Pharmacy Refrigerator is fitted with a digital combination lock, the standard key lock will be replaced by the digital unit.The digital lock provides enhanced security for stored items and is operated using a user‑set combination. An optional master override key is available for emergency access or convenience. The internal batteries act as a backup power supply, ensuring the digital lock remains fully operational even if mains power is lost. This allows you to unlock the refrigerator during a power failure, provided the batteries have been fitted.
Without batteries installed, the door cannot be unlocked during a mains outage unless you have purchased a master key
Opening the Door Once the IntelliCold® Pharmacy Refrigerator has power, you can unlock the door using the factory-set user code 2244:
Tip: Wait for the LED to light before pressing the next button.
If the Red LED Flashes: This means an incorrect digit was entered or the lock did not register the code. The IntelliCold® Pharmacy Refrigerator will remain locked. Wait 4 seconds before re-entering the code.
Auto re-lock: If the door is not unlocked within 4 seconds, the lock will automatically re-engage (provided the handle remains in the closed position).
Locking the Door To lock the IntelliCold® Pharmacy Refrigerator:

The digital lock does not self-lock, but once the handle is in the closed position, the lock will automatically engage. Changing the User Code It is recommended that you change the factory-set code to control access to your IntelliCold® Pharmacy Refrigerator.
• The initial change requires the factory code 2244. • After the first change, the current user code will be required for any future changes. • All codes must be four digits long.
Press the logo button and key in:
Existing user code i.e. 2244 02 New 4 digit user code New 4 digit user code
Write the new user code for reference here
The IntelliCold® Pharmacy Refrigerator will now only open using the new user code or a master key
If you do not press a button within 4 seconds during code entry, the red LED will flash and you will need to start again.
Using the Master Key We recommend purchasing a master key and keeping it with a responsible person. The master key allows the refrigerator to be unlocked in the event of:
• A mains power failure • A forgotten user code
The master key is unique to Labcold digital combination locks.
