Vante Model 3120/3807 ® WARNING: Keep the outside of the tubing and equipment clean and dry! NOTE: Releasing the trigger will immediately turn off RF power; however, the jaws will remain clamped dependant on front clamp time. NOTE: Polyurethane, PVC, EVA and certain types of nylons are the only materials that can be sealed. - Page 16 NOTE: The Model 3120 RF Generator is equipped with a thermal protection circuit which will cause the unit to shut down if unusually high levels of usage occur. In such case, the power-on switch on the front of the panel will remain illuminated, the fan will continue to run, but there will be no RF power output.
