The NOR-5L416TG is North America's first medical-grade vaccine refrigerator with built-in UPS. TempGuard is NordVax's integrated battery backup, designed for clinical sites where a single power event would mean throwing away vaccine stock and re-ordering. The cabinet carries a LiFePO4 battery inside — switching automatically the moment grid power fails, with no external box, no second outlet, and no staff intervention required.
No external UPS box. No second outlet to find. No commissioning, no configuration, no charging delay. The TempGuard battery is integrated inside the cabinet and active from the moment the unit is powered on.
Standard 115V / 15A receptacle. The same outlet powers the refrigerator and the UPS.
Cabinet begins cooling. UPS is active immediately — no charge-up wait, no commissioning step.
No external hardware to install, mount, configure, or maintain. One unit, one outlet, one warranty.
No staff notification needed yet. The cabinet keeps cooling without interruption.
UPS takes over in milliseconds. The compressor never loses power. No temperature excursion.
Display shows battery icon and remaining runtime. On-board audible and visual alarms notify staff that the unit is on battery.
Unit returns to mains automatically. Battery begins recharging in the background while normal operation continues.
| Battery technology | Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) |
| Backup runtime | Up to 10+ hours — typical clinic load (2–8°C set point, low door-open frequency) |
| Switchover | Automatic, millisecond transition — no manual intervention, no temperature excursion |
| Power connection | Single 115V / 15A outlet — no external battery box, no second receptacle |
| Recharge behaviour | Automatic on power restoration. Background recharge while operating on mains. |
| Battery monitoring | On-board capacity check. Alert raised when battery health drops below the threshold for full backup runtime. |
| Warranty | 2 years on the TempGuard unit — additional to the standard refrigeration warranty (see Warranty tab). |
TempGuard battery backup integrated inside the cabinet. Up to 8 hours of continuous 2–8°C operation during a power outage — covers most utility-grid interruptions and overnight failures without staff intervention.
Seamless transition from mains to battery in milliseconds when grid power fails. No manual reset, no temperature excursion, no audible interruption — the cabinet keeps holding 2–8°C while your alert system notifies you of the event.
Plug-and-protect setup — one standard 115V/15A outlet powers both the refrigerator and its built-in UPS. No external battery box, no extra circuit, no second receptacle. Replaces the typical fridge + external UPS combo with a single integrated unit.
Anti-condensation outer pane kept just above dew point. Contents visible without opening the door — reduces door-open frequency and stabilizes interior temperature.
Digital display with min/max recall for daily log readings. Calibration certificate included. Supports Health Canada vaccine storage documentation requirements.
Audible and visual alerts triggered by door-open excursion and temperature deviation. Factory calibrated before shipment.
Direct USB extraction of temperature logs for compliance records. No proprietary software required — exports as standard CSV for audit and inspection files.
Five reconfigurable shelves and storage baskets. Adapts to vial trays, insulin pens, and biologics storage formats without additional hardware.
Keyed lock standard. Meets College of Pharmacy requirements for controlled-substance-adjacent storage areas.
Hinge mechanism returns the door to a sealed position automatically after each use. Prevents temperature drift from accidentally left-open doors during high-traffic dispensing periods.
Patented forced-air cooling distributed from the top of the cabinet ensures inner temperature uniformity within ±0.5°C across all shelves. Eliminates hot and cold zones common in side-cooled units.
Variable-speed compressor adjusts cooling output based on real-time demand. Reduces energy consumption by ~35% versus standard fixed-speed compressors and operates at significantly lower noise levels.
Designed for environments where temperature integrity must be continuously maintained and documented for regulatory compliance. Typical deployments include:
Every NordVax pharmacy and vaccine refrigerator is backed by a coverage package designed for the realities of cold-chain operation — seven years on the compressor, two full years on parts and labour, and a year-one full unit replacement promise.
The built-in battery backup is covered for two full years — additional to the standard refrigeration warranty below.
Compressor part covered against manufacturing defects.
Every part. Every labour hour. Including refrigerant.
Verified compressor failure or refrigerant leak in year one — new unit, no questions.
Year-by-year coverage, service area across every Canadian province and territory, what's covered and not covered, and the full claim process.
Tested and certified by Underwriters Laboratories for North American electrical safety standards.
