In this film, we will explore the **DS3 AED cabinet**, which is an ideal storage solution for defibrillators. The cabinet is **IP66 rated**, ensuring it is protected against dust and water, and it is designed to maintain the correct internal environment for your AED, no matter the weather conditions.
Installation of the DS3 AED Cabinet
The **DS3 AED cabinet** comes with a back plate and mounting bracket, making installation straightforward. You first install the back plate and then slot the cabinet onto the bracket.

Key Features of the DS3 AED Cabinet
IP66 Rating
The cabinet has an **IP66 rating**, meaning it is both **dustproof and waterproof**, providing excellent protection for the AED stored inside. This rating ensures the cabinet is suitable for external environments.
Temperature and Humidity Control
The DS3 cabinet includes a temperature gauge and humidity indicator, both of which are displayed on the front of the cabinet. The **heating element** inside helps maintain the correct **humidity** and **temperature**, especially during colder months, ensuring the AED’s battery and pads remain functional.
The unit is also **insulated**, which prevents extreme temperature changes in both winter and summer. However, note that the cabinet does not have a cooling system, so it relies on insulation to protect the AED in hot conditions.
Status Light
Surrounding the cabinet is a **status light**. When the light is **green**, the unit is active and ready for use. If there is a problem, the light will turn **red**, signalling an issue with the unit that requires attention.
Access and Security Features
Lock and Alarm System
The DS3 cabinet features a **lock on the front**. You can set the cabinet to be either unlocked or locked. To unlock, simply enter the code on the keypad. The default code is **1234**, which can be changed using the **Set button**. Once the door is opened, an alarm will sound, and the status light will change from green to red. You can leave the door open while using the AED, or close it again to reset the cabinet.
Maintaining the DS3 AED Cabinet
When performing routine AED checks, you can easily open the cabinet, remove the AED, check its functionality, and return it to the cabinet. To close the door, simply hold it for a few seconds until you hear the lock engage, and the light will turn green again, indicating the unit is secure and ready.
Conclusion
The **DS3 AED cabinet** is an excellent solution for ensuring your defibrillator is protected and easily accessible.
