SAFETY ELEMENS

All out products are provided with a multiple safety system:

• Digital controlled electronic circuit
  The control unit was specifically designed and exhaustively tested to guarantee the highest safety standards.
  Thanks to its exclusive high-precision electronic circuit, the control unit maintains the temperature of the heating element constant, as well as ensures the correct operation of the product. If a flaw such as excessive temperature is detected, the control unit will immediately switch off the heating element. If this happens, all the LED indicators of the control unit will start flashing simultaneously. In this case, unplug the product from the mains and take it to an authorized service centre.

• Safety AUTO-OFF
  To maximize safety when using the product, an additional safety switch of function has been incorporated into every control unit. This function sets a maximum period of time for which the product can operate continuously. The period is set for 2 hours for the footwarmer. When these periods have elapsed, the product will switch off automatically. This reduces the risk to the user of spending too much time in contact with heating element, as well as the risk of leaving the product in operation unnecessarily. When the safety AUTO-OFF function is activated, the heating element is switched off. To restart the product, push the control unit ON/OFF button.

• Safety heating elements
  The heating elements of all our products use double-wounded wiring with an integrated internal sensor element. They boast an especial technology that prevents hot spots and makes impossible the overheating of the element. If, through a product failure or improper use, the product reaches or exceeds a predetermined threshold value, the heating element will be automatically switched off, this avoiding the risk of skin burns or fire.

ADVICE ON TEMPERATURE SELECTION

Excessive heat continuously applied to the skin may produce skin burns. The maximum temperatures our products can ever reach are those permitted by the current regulations. The product reach temperatures between 55°C and 65°C. (Note: all measures were collected in laboratory conditions with products totally covered, according to procedures described in the EW60335-2-8 l Standard). It usually takes 30 to 45 minutes for the product to reach the maximum temperature. The products provided with fast heating function reduce this time to between 10 and 15 minutes. You can set the control unit at the maximum level to obtain a faster warm up. Remember, however, that you should not use this setting continuously for more than one hour. After that time, we recommend that you lower the temperature gradually. Regardless, thanks to the safety AUTO-OFF option, it will also turn the product off after 2h of continuous running. Therapeutic benefits provided by these products have little to do with high temperatures and are based on a consistent, controlled low-level heat. If, after a considerable period of time, the product stops warming and gets cool, it may be due to the activation of the safety AUTO-OFF, in order to protect you from having excess heat applied to your skin.

PEKATHERM TECHNOLOGY
This product family is specially designed to ensure a smooth low-level heat which, apart from comfort, provides recognised pain-relieving effects, since it dilates the blood vessels and enables muscular distension. The control unit was designed and developed together with the heating elements to assure the best performance. At the start, when the circuit is switched on, the control unit carries out an initial check recognizing the heating element and then proceeds to scan and store technical data which enables it to optimize performance and assure the best operating conditions. The control unit is provided with high technology electronic circuitry, able to continuously control and regulate the temperature of the heating element. It is also able to detect increases and decreases in ambient temperature and compensate for them, this ensuring that the temperature of the heating element is constant. It means that the product will always reach the same temperature, regardless of ambient and use conditions.
All our products have increased power to ensure a faster heating. During the first few minutes of operation full power is applied to reach a selected temperature and once obtained, the power application drops drastically to ensure low consumption.
