In this way, a patient airway temperature greater than 41 °C causes both heaters to be shut down. A watch dog failure, which is a high output from U5g, is communicated via isolating diode D11 and resistor R31 to the inverting input of U10c. This also ensures that both heater control circuits are clamped off in the event of a processor crash. 4.2.8 HEATERPLATE OVERTEMPERATURE Thermistor HP senses the heaterplate temperature. Should the heaterplate exceed the maximum heaterplate limit (default 110
