Nest that requires access to an AC power
source. It can however also be run off of a
generator or any alternate AC power source
that can provide a 230 V AC supply.
AccuTemp™ Heater design features
The AccuTemp™ Heater uses a sophisticated proportional control mechanism to ensure the
WarmPak™ is heated to the operating temperature (between 37
⁰
C and 40
⁰
C) and is not, under any
circumstances, overheated (greater than 41
⁰
C).

Built-in safety features
It is engineered to operate with minimal maintenance and is robust enough to withstand most
power surges and fluctuations.
In the case of a deviation from regular operation, the AccuTemp™ Heater will inform the user of an
error through its inbuilt alarms and indicators. For more information on safety features and alarms,
please refer to 4.3 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ACCUTEMP™ HEATER and 4.4 ERROR INDICATORS

NOTE
Heating times will vary with varying input voltage. In brown out conditions with lower voltage
supply, the heating cycle may take significantly longer than 35 minutes.
Heating times will also vary as the WarmPak™ ages, and the water level in the WarmPak™ is
reduced. Heating cycle may take significantly longer than 35 minutes.
