What Do The Medi-Products Model Numbers Mean?

Understanding the Medi-Product's Model Number System

SAC121OT. MD4480MS. SHCS3140M.

You might see some letters and numbers on your purchase order or system, but what do they mean? Where can you find them?

First, if you already own a system, the model and serial numbers are on a sticker on the top left side of the cabinet.

If you haven’t bought a system yet, or are just curious about what these numbers mean, let’s take a look.

A system’s model number tells you everything about its abilities. Learning how to read these numbers can help you understand your system’s:

Features
Capabilities
Power Output

Next, we’ll explain each part of the model number, what it represents, and how it changes when you customize your system.

Product Code

Let’s start with your unit's first two letters— the "Product Code."

The product code tells you which type of system you have: Standalone, Hardwire, or Mobile.

Here are the product codes:

SSA — Silent Sentry Standalone System
SSH — Silent Sentry Hardwire System
M or MD — Mobile System

For cold storage systems, the code ends with “CS” for "Cold Storage":

SHCS = Silent Sentry Hardwire for Medical Cold Storage
SACS = Silent Sentry Standalone Unit for Medical Cold Storage.

Power Output Code

Now, let’s break down what the numbers in the middle mean. The Power Output Code is crucial, as it tells you the power output and storage capacity of your system.

The first two numbers represent the wattage of the system’s power inverter. For instance, a system with a 1200-watt inverter would begin with “12,” while a 2000-watt inverter would start with “20.”
The last two numbers reflect the storage capacity, which is the number of batteries in the system. For example, a system with one battery ends in “10,” two batteries would end in “20,” and so on.

Let’s apply this to a few examples:

A 1200-watt Mobile system with two batteries would be “MD1220.”
A 4400-watt Standalone system with six batteries would be “SSH4460.”

Controller Code

The second set of letters in your model number represents the type of controller or LCD display your system has. Over time, we’ve upgraded our designs to enhance user experience, and the controllers and displays have evolved as well.

Here are the display codes you might find at the end of your model number:

"M" Series Displays
"T" Series Displays
"V" Series Displays

For example, let’s look at two model numbers: SSA2030M and SSA2030V. Both are:

Standalone Units (SSA)
Equipped with 2000-watt inverters (20)
With three batteries of storage (30)

The only difference is that the first system has an M-Series controller, while the second has a V-Series controller. Both have the same performance but different interfaces.

Pure Sinewave Code

Lastly, we reach the final part of the product code, which only applies to systems designed with a pure sinewave inverter.

Certain high-end medical equipment requires pure sinewave electricity to function correctly and avoid potential damage. If your system includes a pure sinewave inverter, you’ll see an "S" at the end of the model number.

For example:

SSH3140M is a hardwired system with a 3100-watt inverter and four batteries for storage.
SSH4040MS, on the other hand, is a similar hardwired system with a 4000-watt inverter and four batteries. However, the "S" indicates it uses a pure sinewave inverter.

This distinction helps ensure sensitive equipment receives the clean, stable power it needs.
