6.8 Safety checks and functional checks
Regularly check whether all system components are in perfect condition and operating correctly.
Regular checks help to minimize or even exclude the risk of malfunctions during operation. For a
detailed description of the functional check, please refer to chap. 5.3.3 “Function check prior to
operation” on page 5.9.
6.8.1 Safety checks
Be sure to check the following components:
✓
◗ All device plugs and sockets
➜ Are the cable jackets tightly connected to the plugs?
➜ Are the contacts clean?
➜ Are the plugs mechanically undamaged (housing, bent pins)?
➜ Are all sockets attached firmly to the respective housings?
◗ All cables
➜ Are all cable jackets undamaged along the entire length of the cable (cracks, cuts, clearly
visible kinks)?
◗ Water circuits
➜ Are the water tubings free from damage and leaks?
➜ Are the fast (Hansen-type) connectors clean, free from damage and leaks?
➜ Do the Hansen connectors lock/unlock smoothly?
!
If the answer is “no” to any of these questions, use the system only after the defects have been
rectified:
➜ Clean the system at once, if required.
➜ Replace defective accessories.
➜ If you cannot rectify the defects yourself (e.g. in cases of loose or damaged sockets), pass
the heater-cooler on to an authorized service technician.
➜ Have defective accessories checked by the service technician.
