Optional Cooling Modules
Thermo-Electric Cooling (TEC) Module
to a depth of about four inches (10 cm). Store the factory tank lid in a safe place, and carefully fit
the TEC Module onto the tank. If water begins to overflow, lift the TEC Module and remove
some water from the tank. The TEC Module may be installed with its power cord toward the
front or rear of the MCH-1000(m), whichever is more
convenient. Connect the TEC Module's power cord to a
hospital-grade electrical circuit.
Maintenance
Check the air intake vents on the TEC Module periodically
for dust buildup or blockage. Use compressed air as often as
needed to clean dust from the vents and the internal
components. Clean outer surfaces with a damp cloth, using
a mild non-abrasive detergent or bactericide if necessary.
CAUTION: Do not plug the TEC Module into the same electrical circuit as the
!
MCH-1000(m). The TEC Module draws approximately 1.5 Amps of power, so it may
be able to share a circuit with other equipment. The MCH-1000(m) requires a separate
dedicated 20 Amp circuit (see Initial Operation Check).
CAUTION: Do not damage the cooling probes. Damaging the protective coating on
!
the probes may cause corrosion and premature failure of the TEC Module.
CAUTION: The water tank should be no more than ⅔ full of water when
!
installing the TEC Module. If the water depth in the tank is more than 4 inches (10
cm), overflow and spillage may occur.
CAUTION: Do not block the air vents around the sides of the TEC Module.
!
Inadequate airflow will cause overheating and premature failure of the TEC Module.
CAUTION: During procedures requiring significant cooling, ice may be needed.
!
The TEC Module is designed for low-demand normathermic cooling applications.
The TEC Module replaces the lid on the MCH-1000(m)
with an enclosed pair of cooling probes that continuously
chill the water in the tank, maintaining a water
temperature of approximately 5–10˚C depending on
ambient conditions and load. This provides adequate
cooling for most normathermic procedures.
Installation
Fill the MCH-1000(m) water tank approximately ⅔ full,
