Operating Environment
The model 4160 TPE sealing system will perform effectively in indoor an indoor working
environment. Significant variations in environmental conditions and contamination or moisture
on the sealing head jaws or tubing exterior may affect sealer performance. The sealing head
works best when the head and the tubing are dry and clean.
In hot, cold, or humid environments, work slowly and check the sealing head and tubing
frequently to ensure that they are clean and dry. Frequently verify the quality of the tubing seals
when working in hot, cold, or humid environments.

Recommended Tubing
Table 1.3 lists tubing size categories and corresponding dimension details for each sealing head
model. The system is designed to seal TPE and other low- or non-RF-reactive thermoplastic
tubing that is typically used in biopharmaceutical manufacturing environments.

Operational and Performance Safety Features
The model 4160 generator/controller and sealing heads are designed with the following safety
features, which reduce safety risks and improve performance.
The sealer has a thermal protection circuit, which limits operational temperatures to 200
°
C.
The software will automatically abort the sealing process and register an error if it detects a
temperature difference of greater than 50
°
C between the heating elements during an
operational check.
Models 4161 and 4162 sealing head jaws completely enclose the heating elements,
preventing direct user contact with the heating elements while the jaws are latched shut.
A latch locking mechanism on the model 4161 and 4162 is activated during the sealing
process, preventing accidental opening and interruption of the sealing process.
The user may abort sealing process at any time by pressing the STOP button on the display
or the GREEN button on the sealing head handle.
A snap action switch on the 4161 and 4162 sealing heads prevents the sealing cycle from
starting unless the sealing head is properly closed. See Figure 1.4 on page 7.
WARNING:
Only sealing systems with serial numbers ending in “SS” are designed with the
snap action switch (“safety switch”) feature.
Example: SN: 1234SS
