Outline of Self Diagnostics Feature:
A built-in self-test and diagnostic feature allows the operator to test the over temperature safety feature by simply pressing a button located on the bottom of the unit. Pressing this button will place the unit in the "TEST MODE" which will disconnect the heater control circuitry and drive the output temperature into the over temperature range. Once output temperature reaches the "Red" area on the bar graph temperature indicator, both "Audible" and "Visual" temperature alarms will be activated. The system will them automatically disconnect power to the heater element, the temperature will return to the selected safe area, and the alarms will shut off.
Note: Progressive Dynamics has previously reviewed and, from time to time, performs additional reviews of the overall LIFE-AIR 1000 System. These reviews have all shown that the LIFE-AIR 1000 Blowers, Soft-Flex™ warming covers and hoses do not contain natural latex.
