Owner’s Manual - Regal Intensive Care Unit
Heating the
Compartment Air
Since the temperature in the room in which the unit is installed will
probably remain fairly constant, it is unlikely that heavy loads will be
placed on the heating and cooling systems. In many cases, the body
heat of the patient will be sufficient to maintain a comfortable
temperature in the animal compartment.
You can have both heating and cooling systems On at the same
time; the unit will automatically activate one system or the other, as
needed, to maintain the set temperature.
If heat is required by animals in both half-compartments, use the
wire grill divider so that air can move freely between the compart-
ments. If only one animal requires heat, and is small enough to fit,
place it in the right compartment, and install the acrylic divider (the
right compartment contains the air inlet).
To supply heated air to the animal compartment:
1. Install a divider panel if required, (refer to Page 49).
2. Make sure the main on/off switch is On. The amber light
in the switch must be On refer to Page 48).

Cooling - General
3. Press the heat on/off switch to turn heat On.
The amber light in the switch comes on
(Figure 56).
4. Turn the temperature set dial to the
desired temperature. If the temperature in
the compartment is below the set
temperature, heat is supplied and the red
system light comes on. The temperature of
the air in the animal compartment can be
read on the digital readout (refer to
Page 24).
5. When the compartment air reaches the set
temperature, the system light goes out.
