TIME Display
The TIME Display (see Figure 5-6) shows the user-selected duration (in seconds) of RF
power delivery to the Catheter. When the Controller is initially powered on, the TIME
Display reads zero. After the user sets the duration and presses the RF POWER
CONTROL Button, the displayed value changes to zero and initiates counting upward at
1-second intervals until the preset time limit is reached (or the RF POWER CONTROL
Button is actuated a second time or the Footswitch is released), stopping RF power
delivery. If RF power delivery is stopped before the preset maximum duration has been
reached, actual duration of RF power delivery is displayed, flashing at 1-second intervals.
