All our products are provided with a multiple safety system:
1) Digitally 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.
2) Automatic high temperature timer.
Excessively long use of the product running at a high temperature may
produce skin burns. It is not recommendable to set the control unit at the
highest temperature level for more than one hour. Since the heating pads'
elements easily reach high temperatures, all our pads are provided with a safety
function that limits the period of time the pad can run at a high temperature
setting. If a high temperature setting is selected and during the following 100
minutes the button of the controller is not pushed, the system will automatica-
lly drop the setting down to the lowest level (level 1), which will be reflected
by the corresponding LED indicator. If you want to increase the temperature,
proceed to push the button of the controller until the desirable setting is
found.
3) Safety AUTO-OFF.
To maximize safety when using the product, an additional safety switch off
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 and 12 hours for the heating pads and heating
underblankets, respectively. When these periods have elapsed, and if the control
button has not been pushed in the meantime, the product will switch off
automatically. This reduces the risk to the user of spending too much time in
contact with the 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 and the LED indicators of the controller go off.
To restart the product push the control unit button.
4) Safety heating elements.
The heating elements of all our products use double-wound 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, thus avoiding the risk of skin burns or fire.
