Sunbeam's SleepPerfect
Technology
Temperature sensitive, fast-heating elements
All Sunbeam Sleep Perfect electric blankets
feature our exclusive SleepPerfect ®
Technology. This technology uses a unique
heating element that adjusts the power
supplied to your electric blanket to maintain
your selected setting.
A built-in microprocessor continually senses
changes changes to your body temperature
affecting the blankets' temperature and
adjusts the power input accordingly, to
provide a constant level of comfort.
Nine levels of safety protection
A built-in microprocessor senses any rise in
temperature and reduces the power supply to
prevent overheating.
In the unlikely event of a fault, the
microprocessor senses the abnormal
operation and automatically cuts off power to
the blanket.
®
On double, queen and king size electric
blankets each side adjusts independently to
maintain individual comfort levels. So you'll
always sleep soundly, even on the coldest
nights.
This unique element also heats to your
selected temperature in just 10 minutes,
so there's no need for hours of preheating
before bedtime.
A second microprocessor acts as a back up
should the first fail.
For additional safety protection, all Sleep
Perfect electric blankets contain a thermal
back up fuse that is independent of the
blanket control. It detects any abnormal
temperature variations in the heating element
and automatically switches the blanket off to
prevent overheating.
