Precautionary measures
20 / 378
The power connection must be equipped with a grounding contact. Use the ori-
ginal power cable to establish a connection between the mains wall socket and the
non-heating device plug located in the rear of the device.
The grounded, shockproof safety wall socket should be near the device and within
easy reach. Disconnect the device from the mains power supply (pull cable out of
the grounded safety wall socket) if the device is not being used for several days or
an extended period. The device is ready for use as soon as all connections are es-
tablished, and all cables have been plugged in.
Only use a certified (UL-listed), removable mains connection cable, type SJT, min-
imal 18 AWG, 3 leads. The plug connectors must comply with NEMA 5-15 and
IEC 60320-C13. Grounding will only be reliable if the equipment is connected to a
corresponding hospital grade socket.
The equipotential bonding is used as a protective measure against the failure of
the protective conductor according to requirements of IEC 60601-1 in the respect-
ively valid version. The installation must be according to the relevant local safety
regulations.
Medical devices are subject to special safety and protective measures concerning
electromagnetic compatibility (hereafter abbreviated as EMC).
This system is to be used only for the purposes described in the manual and has to
be installed, set up, and operated in compliance with the EMC notes and instruc-
tions.
