Applicable to products with LL, RL and TL input filter options only.
These products are designed for continuous operation within an overall enclosure, and must be mounted such that
access to the mains terminals is restricted.
These products are NOT suitable for use in the presence of flammable anaesthetic mixtures with air or with oxygen,
or with nitrous oxide.
For IEC/EN 60601-1 2nd Edition, UL 60601-1 1st Edition, CSA-C22.2 No. 601.1-M90, the Alpha 800 range provides
Basic insulation between input and outputs, Basic insulation between input and ground and functional insulation
between outputs and earth.
For IEC/EN 60601-1 3rd Edition, ANSI/AAMI ES 60601-1, CSA 22.2 No 60601-1the Alpha 800 range provides
reinforced insulation between input and outputs (2 MOOPs), Basic insulation (1 MOOP) between input and ground.
Between outputs and earth there is functional insulation only.
Connect only apparatus complying with the standards listed above as appropriate to the signal ports.
All outputs are SELV except possibly when they are connected in series and depending on the total voltage.
These products are classed as ordinary equipment and are not protected against the ingress of water (IPX0).
Reference should be made to local regulations concerning the disposal of these products at the end of their useful
life.
Where any part of this product is made accessible to the operator in the end use equipment, the operator must not
touch this part and the patient at the same time.
These products have not been assessed to IEC/EN60601-1-2 (EMC) but EMC test data is available from TDK-
Lambda UK Ltd.
WARNING: No modification of this product is allowed.
Except for permanently installed equipment, the overall equipment into which these products are installed must have
double pole fusing on the input mains supply. The products themselves have single pole fusing in the live line only.
