Water Over Temperature Alarm; Alarm Testing; Performance Testing - level 1 System 1000 Operator's And Service Manual

| Water Over Temperature Alarm
Press and hold the Water Over Temperature alarm test button on the power and
test panel on the front of the unit. The display will jump to 45°C (as long as the
button is pressed on), and the red over temperature indicator will illuminate and
the audible alarm will start to pulse.
NOTE: The Water Over Temperature alarm test button fully tests the over
temperature circuitry of the system, not just the visible red display indicator and
the audible alarm.
NOTE: Pressing the Water Over Temperature test button or the Alarm test
button will disable the System 1000 even after the buttons have been released.
The unit must be shut off and then re-started to clear the alarm condition.
Alarm Testing
The audible alarm and all RED indicator lights may be tested by pressing the
Alarm test button on the power and test panel on the front of the cabinet.
NOTE: Pressing the Alarm test button or the Water Over Temperature test
button will disable the System 1000 even after the buttons have been released.
The unit must be shut off and then re-started to clear the alarm condition.
Performance Testing
Periodic testing of the overall operating efficiency of the System 1000 can be
accomplished in one of two simple ways:
1. COLD START TEST
NOTE: This performance test requires a SIMS Level 1 non-sterile, not-for-
patient-use D-series disposable set to be installed properly on the System 1000.
Store the System 1000 fluid warmer in a room where the room temperature is
approximately 21°C (70°F). With a non-sterile D-series disposable set in place,
note the time, and then turn the power switch ON. The green "OPERATING"
indicator will illuminate. Rapidly rising numbers will appear on the circulating
water bath temperature display. A 41°C temperature reading will appear in
approximately 3 to 7 minutes on an efficiently operating unit.
NOTE: If the system 1000 does not pass the cold start test, it should be returned
to SIMS Level 1 or an authorized distributor of SIMS Level 1 for service. Do not
attempt to change the calibration settings.
2. THERMAL CALIBRATION WELL (TCW).
Available from SIMS Level 1, a TCW may also be used to test performance and
confirm proper calibration of the water bath temperature. (Part # 8003002)
