Alarm description
The Babytherm unit distinguishes three alarm levels:
Warning (high potential risk)
A continuous audible alarm that cannot be muted is emitted
for:
– device malfunction
– power failure
A sequence of alarms tones that can be muted, combined
with a flashing red LED, is triggered for:
– mattress heater sensor failure,
– mattress heating exceeding the temperature limits,
– skin temperature sensor not connected in baby control
mode,
– sensor failure of skin temperature sensor,
– skin temperature above 39 °C.
Caution (medium potential risk)
An alarm tone sequence that can be muted, combined with a
flashing yellow LED, is triggered for:
– deviation between set and actual value of skin or mattress
temperature too great,
– 15-minutes alarm (reminder to check the core temperature
every 15 minutes with heater levels higher than 4).
Message (low potential risk)
Display messages for:
– measured values outside the measuring range,
– battery low.
Any alarm that has not been acknowledged is indicated by
the central alarm lamp on the radiant warmer unit.
The text display shows a specific message for the active
alarm.
If a second alarm is triggered while the audible alarm is
muted, the audible alarm will be reactivated.
