Defib Store AED Cabinet - Features and Installation Guide

Durable and Secure AED Storage

The Defib Store AED Cabinet is constructed from high-grade ABS plastic, making it exceptionally strong and impact-resistant. These cabinets are so durable that they can withstand extreme pressure—demonstrations even show them withstanding the weight of a car.

Available Colours and Customisation

While the standard colour is green, these cabinets are also available in red for bleed kits and yellow for alternative storage needs. Custom graphics can be applied to the cabinet upon request, though this process takes a few weeks.

Locking Mechanisms

There are two main types of AED cabinets:

• Unlocked Cabinet: Features a simple twist knob for quick and easy access.
• Locked Cabinet: Equipped with a keypad for secure storage, requiring a code for access.

The lock code is essential for access and should be securely recorded. It is also required for registering the cabinet on the National Circuit Database so emergency services can provide access when needed.

Installation and Included Components

Each AED cabinet comes with:

• An instruction manual – Read thoroughly before installation.
• A light and accompanying batteries for visibility.
• A fixing kit containing all necessary bolts and plugs for secure mounting.

Built-in Heating Element

To ensure your AED remains within its optimal temperature range, the cabinet includes a heating element that automatically activates in colder months. This prevents the AED from dropping below its recommended operational temperature.

Power Supply and Wiring Considerations

The cabinet should ideally be hardwired into a mains supply by a qualified electrician. While a plug can be used, it is important to ensure it remains connected, as accidental unplugging could disable the heating element.

Monitoring and Maintenance

Regular checks should be performed to ensure the AED is visible through the transparent window, the light is flashing, and there are no error messages on the device. Periodic opening of the cabinet is recommended to confirm functionality and check for wear.

Versatile Storage Capacity

The Defib Store AED Cabinet is designed to fit most AED brands and also accommodates:

• An AED prep kit.
• A Bleed Kit (optional).

For users needing both an AED and a Bleed Kit in one location, a dual-purpose cabinet with custom graphics is available.

Conclusion

The Defib Store AED Cabinet offers a secure, weather-resistant, and spacious solution for AED storage. Its robust construction, heating functionality, and customisable design make it one of the best options for ensuring life-saving equipment is accessible and ready for use in an emergency.
