Solaredge hd wave user manual software. Using a novel power conversion technology that is based on a distributed switching and powerful DSP processing, the HD-Wave technology inverter is able to synthesize a clean sine wave that leads to a dramatic reduction in the magnetics and heavy cooling elements. This small and lightweight inverter enables simplified shipping and storing and one-person installation.

Parents/guardians should call the pediatrician upon noticing any unusual sign(s) or symptom(s). For example, a
child who exhibits irritability, vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, seizure, changes in appetite or activity, even in the
absence of fever, or who exhibits a low temperature, may still need to receive medical attention.
People who are on antibiotics, analgesics, or antipyretics should not be assessed solely on temperature
readings to determine the severity of their illness.
Temperature elevation may signal a serious illness, especially in neonates and infants, or in adults who are
old, frail, or have a weakened immune system. Please seek professional advice immediately when there is a
temperature elevation and if you are taking temperature on:

How does Braun ThermoScan work?
Braun ThermoScan measures the infrared heat generated by the eardrum and
surrounding tissues. To help avoid inaccurate temperature measurements, the probe
tip is warmed to a temperature close to that of the human body. When the Braun
ThermoScan is placed in the ear, it continuously monitors the infrared energy. The
measurement is finished and the result displayed when the thermometer detects
that an accurate temperature measurement has been taken.

Body temperature
Normal body temperature is a range. It varies by site of measurement, and it tends to
decrease with age. It also varies from person to person and fluctuates throughout the day.
Therefore, it is important to determine normal temperature ranges. This is easily done using
Braun ThermoScan. Practice taking temperatures on yourself and healthy family members
to determine the normal temperature range.
Note: When consulting your physician, communicate that the ThermoScan temperature is a
temperature measured in the ear and if possible, note the individual’s normal ThermoScan
temperature range as additional reference.

Why measure in the ear?
The goal of thermometry is to measure core body temperature
1
which is the
temperature of the vital organs. Ear temperatures accurately reflect core body
temperature
temperature
2
, since the eardrum shares blood supply with the temperature control
center in the brain

, the hypothalamus. Therefore, changes in body temperature
are reflected sooner in the ear than at other sites. Axillary temperatures measure
skin temperature and may not be a reliable indicator of core body temperature.
Oral temperatures are influenced by drinking, eating and mouth breathing. Rectal
temperatures often lag behind changes in core body temperature and there is a
risk of cross-contamination.

The probe tip is the most delicate part of the thermometer. It must be
clean and intact to ensure accurate readings. If the thermometer is ever
accidentally used without a lens filter, clean the probe tip as follows:
Very gently wipe the surface with a cotton swab or soft cloth moistened
with alcohol. After the alcohol has completely dried out, you can put a new
lens filter on and take a temperature measurement.
If the probe tip is damaged, please contact Consumer Relations.
Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the thermometer display and exterior. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
Never submerge this thermometer in water or any other liquid. Store thermometer and lens filters
in a dry location free from dust and contamination and away from direct sunlight.
Additional lens filters (LF 40) are available at most stores carrying Braun ThermoScan.
