THIS UNIT HAS NOT BEEN

BLOOD OR BLOOD PRODUCTS.

This warming cabinet is designed to safely store warm

ither irrigation fluids or injection fluids and blankets.

e

he dual-chambered warming cabinet is constructed

T

ith a 20 gauge stainless steel exterior casing and door with

w

andles and hinges designed to withstand heavy usage. A

h

door with window allows observation of inventory with the

door closed. The cabinet is warmed using the patented Halo

®

low-heat-density electrothermal cable array. The

Heat

electrothermal cable is positioned in the floor and two sides

of the warming cabinet, providing even heating of the

interior chamber. Each chamber temperature is regulated by

a separate electronic control. A fan located inside the

chamber mixes the air to prevent temperature stratification

and to ensure an accurate chamber temperature within

±2°F (±1.1°C) of the set point for temperatures up to

110°F (43°C) and within ±3°F (±1.6°C) of the set point for

temperatures above 110° to 150°F (43°C to 66°C). Each

chamber has an individual electronic control consisting

of a 4 digit L.E.D. display, ON/OFF key, INCREASE and

DECREASE keys, integrated LOCK feature and a series of

prompt sequence indicators.

The (upper) blanket warming chamber has an adjustable

temperature range of 90° to 200°F (32° to 94°C). This

chamber also has a TIMER mode that allows the user to

program the control to automatically turn on and turn off

once during a 24-hour period at a selected time. This

enables the blanket warming chamber (only) to be shut off

automatically at night to save energy, but to turn on again in

the early morning to ensure warm blankets are available.

The (lower) fluid warming chamber can be programmed

o warm either irrigation fluids (IRR) or injection fluids

t

INJ), with separate temperature ranges provided depending

(

n the choice selected. IRR temperature may be adjusted

o

rom 90° to 150°F (32° to 66°C), and the INJ temperature

f

can be adjusted from 90° to 110°F (32° to 43°C). An alarm

will sound if temperatures exceed 10°F (6°C) over the set-

point temperature, and a TEMP indicator will blink

indicating an over-temperature condition.

A warming shut-off system, separate from the electronic

controls, prevents overheating. The electronic controls can

easily be set to operate in Fahrenheit or Celsius. After a

power failure, the cabinet will remember its programming

and begin to operate as before. The ON/OFF indicator will

blink to indicate a failure occurred; pressing the ON/OFF

key once will eliminate this blinking.

The blanket warming chamber contains an epoxy-coated

blanket support assembly and one (1) shelf. The fluid

warming chamber is equipped with three (3) white, epoxy-

coated wire baskets to accommodate fluids packaged in bags

or bottles, mounted on basket rail supports. Each basket has

a 14 liter maximum capacity. The cabinet is furnished

with a full perimeter rubber bumper assembly for exterior

protection, and one (1) set of 5" (127mm) heavy-duty

casters, two with locking brake.

CONTROL PANEL KEYS

ON/OFF KEY

Press and release the on/off key to activate the blanket
compartment control (upper chamber). The unit will
beep and the status indicator, located at the top left of
the ON/OFF key, will illuminate when the warmer is
on. To turn the control off, press and hold the ON/OFF
key for 3 seconds. The unit will beep and the status
indicator will extinguish.

UP ARROW / DOWN ARROW KEYS

These keys are used to increase or decrease the temperature
set-point as desired. They are also used to set the current
time of day and to select a desired start time and stop time
when adjusting the Auto Timer.

TIMER KEY

This 24-hour timer feature is a three-step process that
provides automatic shut-down for energy savings in
off-hours and preset start-up so blankets are warm
before needed. The L.E.D. display shows a 24-hour
clock; i.e. 1:00 p.m. will display as 13:00.

L.E.D. DIGITAL DISPLAY

The control has a four-digit L.E.D. display. When
the control is activated, the display will show current
temperature set-point. When programming the Auto
Timer, the display will show hour and minutes.

L.E.D. DISPLAY STATUS INDICATORS

TIME

Illuminates while current time of day is displayed when
programming the TIMER mode.

START

Illuminates while the start time is displayed when
programming the TIMER mode.

Illuminates while the stop time is displayed when
programming the TIMER mode.

LOCK

Illuminates when the lock feature is engaged.

OWER FAIL DETECT

P

If the power were to fail for any reason while heating,

the warmer will retain, in memory, its current operating
state. When the power is restored, the control will resume
operating, but several things will alert the operator that

uch an event has occurred:

s

A. The ON/OFF status indicator will be flashing.

B. Display will indicate '128' (or another number) alternating

with the setting. Please see important note below if a
number other than '128' is displayed.

C. Control will "beep" every third flash of the

number displayed.

Press the ON/OFF key once to acknowledge that the power

has been restored. The ON/OFF status indicator will stop
flashing and the "beep" will be silenced. The display will
indicate the approximate time period of the outage, then
return to the normal display and previously set mode.

Note: The display of '128' is a normal Power-On Reset for

the control. Any other number displayed may indicate
a problem. Make note of the number, and if the unit
fails to operate properly, provide that number to
service to assist them in troubleshooting the problem.

Note: Programming is done with power circuit breaker switch

at the back of the appliance "ON", but ON/OFF Key on
the control panel "OFF".

FAHRENHEIT OR CELSIUS SELECTION

While the controller is in the off mode, press and hold the

UP ARROW key until you hear a beep (approximately
5 seconds). The warmer will switch between Fahrenheit
or Celsius.

BEEPER ON OR OFF

While the controller is in the off mode, press and hold the

DOWN ARROW key. "OFF" will not beep.

SETTING CURRENT TIME OF DAY

Setting the current time of day must be done first to ensure

proper operation of timer function. To set the current time

of day, the control must be in the off mode, with the
ON/OFF status indicator extinguished. Press and hold the
TIMER key to illuminate various indicators. Release. Repeat
the process until the Time status indicator is illuminated.
The display will show the currently set time of day.
Continue to hold the TIMER key, and use the UP or
DOWN arrow keys to synchronize with the current time of
day. Note: The L.E.D. display shows a 24-hour clock; i.e.
1:00 p.m. will display as 13:00.
