SAFETY FEATURES

An indication of the coil temperature is given by the Coil Temperature
information display on the User Interface.
If the coil surface temperature reaches its set limit, the display information
will inform the user that this condition has occurred.
The normal operation of the equipment can then be resumed by allowing the
coil to cool, or alternatively, by replacing the coil with a cool one.
If the coil is disconnected from the unit while the unit is charged, the Rapid
system will detect a break in communications and will automatically select
the default mode and discharge internally. At the same time a message will
be displayed on the UI screen indicating that the coil has been disconnected.
The ARMED indicator will extinguish, indicating that the unit is discharged.
If the instrument has not been triggered for over 10 minutes after the system
status window has displayed READY, the unit will automatically select the
default mode and discharge internally

The Magstim Rapid is capable of recognising automatically the type of
stimulating coil being used.
