INCLUDED IN PACKAGE
ASSEMBLY
INSTALLATION
The Thermasonic Gel Warmer should be placed away from drafts, in an upright
position on a flat, stable surface. Do not lay the unit flat on any side. The
unit may also be wall-mounted. See section 3.2 for wall mounting instructions.
Plug female end of power cord into IEC320/C14 receptacle (see Figure 1) and
male end into an appropriate electrical outlet matching the voltage listed on
the electrical information label on the back of the Gel Warmer. NOTE: UK
power cord with a BS-1363 plug (Part #: UKCORD) is available in the United
Kingdom, as an accessory from your distributor.
WALL-MOUNTING
The Thermasonic Gel Warmer can be mounted on a wall with the use of the
supplied screws and wall anchors. Follow these steps to wall mount.
-
Once wall-mount location has been identified, make two marks on the wall 4 inches (10.16 cm) apart. When making your marks, use a level to assure the Gel Warmer will appear straight when mounted.
-
If mounting into wood, install screws and allow 0.1” (2.5mm) clearance between the wall and the screw head. If mounting into drywall, the use of wall anchors is necessary.
CAUTION: Never drill or install screws in a wall with wires or plumbing running through it. -
Carefully position the Gel Warmer so the large round wells (see Figure 2) on the back of the unit will pass over the screw heads.
-
Press the Gel Warmer against the wall and slide downward, trapping the screw head in the grooves just above the wells.
OPERATION
CONTROLS AND INDICATOR LAMPS
When switched to the ON position, the power ON/OFF switch will illuminate (see
Figure 3) and remain lit, indicating the unit is operational.
SETTING ThE OPERATING TEMPERATURE
Models 82-03 and 82-03-20
CAUTION: Temperature can vary. Always test a small quantity of gel before applying. Do not use HIGH setting on infants, the elderly or patients with very sensitive skin.
When powered on for the first time, the LED corresponding with MED will begin
to flash (see Figure 4), indicating the Gel Warmer is functioning and is
warming to MEDIUM (factory setting). When removed from a power source, the Gel
Warmer will remember the last temperature setting and maintain that setting
when powered on again.
You may switch between the LOW, MEDIUM, and HIGH settings by pressing the
thermometer button below the bank of LEDs (see Figure
5).Once the unit reaches the set temperature, the
LED will stop flashing and remain illuminated. Should the temperature drop
below the acceptable temperature range, the LED will again flash until the
unit returns to the correct temperature.
Models 83-03 and 83-03-20
CAUTION: Temperature can vary. Always test a small quantity of gel before
applying.
When powered on for the first time, the digital display will indicate the
current temperature and will begin warming to the factory-set temperature of
102° F (39° C) (see Figure 6).
To adjust the temperature, press the arrow button with + symbol to increase
temperature, or press the arrow button with – symbol to decrease temperature
(see Figure 7). Each time one of the arrow buttons is pressed, it will
increase or decrease the temperature setting by one degree and flash the newly
set temperature for five seconds. The unit will then return to displaying the
current temperature.
Warm and comfortable is now even better.
To switch between Fahrenheit or Celsius on the temperature display, press both
the + arrow button and – arrow button simultaneously. When removed from a
power source, the Gel Warmer will remember the last temperature setting used
and maintain that setting when the unit is powered on again.
OPERATING ThE GEL WARMER
Allow approximately two hours for a full bottle of gel to reach proper
temperature. Leaving the cover closed at all times will help retain heat. Your
Thermasonic Gel Warmer is designed for continuous operation, and it is not
necessary to disconnect the warmer when not in use.
NOTE: Since gels are aqueous, some condensation may appear in the
applicator cap of the gel bottle. Use of the Thermasonic Gel Warmer will not
affect the performance or v iscosity of any Parker ultrasound gel.
ERROR CODES
The Thermasonic Gel Warmer contains a temperature sensor to consistently
monitor function and a Microtemp® thermal cutoff to protect against
overheating.
Models 82-03 and 82-03-20
If the temperature sensor is not operating, all the LEDs will blink once every
five seconds. If a short circuit occurs, the LEDs will blink twice every five
seconds. In either circumstance, the heater will not operate.
Models 83-03 and 83-03-20
If the temperature sensor is not operating at all, the digital display will
indicate “E1”. If a short circuit occurs, the digital display will indicate
“E2”. In either circumstance, the heater will not operate.
