SAFETY FEATURES
Patient and operator safety are insured by the incorporation of an isolation transformer. Also
a heavy duty, three-wire AC line cord and a "Hospital Grade" plug have been provided.
It is
imperative that the plug be connected to a "Hospital Grade" receptacle in order to
insure a reliable ground.
(In regions outside of the United States of America, the "Hospital
Grade" plug will probably be removed from the line cord. In this event it is important to
insure that the ground wire of the line cord is reliably connected to an appropriate ground.)
Overtemperature protection is assured through the use of a special secondary sensor that
backs up the thermoelectric control unit. In the event of an overtemperature situation, all
current to the heating devices is shut off and the unit will beep to alert the user.
