ANESTHESIA TANK
The PES
®
is available with
a 150 quart tank (Part #
09879)
The electroanesthesia
tank has two electrode
assemblies. One is
permanently fixed to one
end of the tank and the
other may be placed at
varying distances using
the guides within the tank
interior.
The output cables
are attached to each
electrode by means of the
corresponding connectors.
It’s not important which
electrode is assigned
to either ANODE or
CATHODE, as both are
electrically isolated
from one another. Both
electrodes are enclosed
within a non-conductive
plastic screen to prevent
direct accidental contact
with the electrode surface.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
OF THE ELECTRODES
It may become necessary to
clean the electrodes after
periods of extended use.
Over time, the electrodes
accumulate a build-up
of oxidation, making
settings unpredictable
and shortening battery life
between recharges. To clean
the electrodes, remove the
protective screen covering
the electrode plate. On the
movable electrode unit,
carefully remove the two
plastic screws on the outer
edges of the top handle
assembly. The electrode
and handle can be slid out
of the screen assembly. On
the fixed electrode unit,
carefully remove the four (4)
screws that hold the screen
to the electrode and put
the screen aside. Remove
the two (2) stainless steel
screws holding the electrode
plate to the top mounting
bracket.
Remove any oxidation
with an abrasive pad
or sandpaper. It is not
recommended that
you use any cleaning
chemicals or solvents, as
they may remain on the
electrode assemblies and
unintentionally contaminate
the electroanesthesia tank.
Assemble both units in
reverse order, taking care
not to damage or cross-
thread the plastic screws.
