Reading the Filter Life Indicator
Install a CONMED 1000SES TM Filter into the
system per the installation instructions contained
in this operator’s manual. When the system is
turned on, the filter life indicator will light up all
the GREEN, AMBER and RED LED’s. This
indicates full filter life. The indicator will
progress to red indicators only as the life of the
filter is exhausted. After eight hours have
elapsed, the RED LED indicator will start blink-
ing to indicate that the filter has expended it use-
ful life and requires replacement.
• CIRCUIT BREAKER (Rear Panel)
Two 15 AMP circuit breakers (8 AMP for inter-
national units) are located on the rear of the unit
They electrically protect both the unit and the
operator from damage or injury. If the unit is
overheated or if there is an electrical surge in the
electrical system, the circuit breakers will “trip”
and the unit will not operate. To restart the sys-
tem, depress the circuit breakers into their origi-
nal position.
When the Service light illuminates, please con-
tact CONMED Technical Services for unit ser-
vice.
