Installation

Before installing and connecting, inspect the electrosurgical generator and its equipment as 

follows:

 

• Check that the electrosurgical generator, its equipment and all accessories do not have:

 - any dents, cracks, kinks, or deformations

 - any deep scratches

 - any corrosion

 - any missing or loose parts

 

• Check all markings on the electrosurgical generator, its equipment and all accessories for 

clear visibility.

To prevent malfunction or damage of the electrosurgical generator and its accessories take 

account of the following circumstances when placing the electrosurgical generator:

 

• Place the electrosurgical generator on a stable, level surface.

 

• Put the electrosurgical generator upright onto its feet. Do not install the electrosurgical 

generator on its side or upside down.

 

• If the electrosurgical generator is placed on a trolley, the trolley must be of adequate 

strength and size to hold the electrosurgical generator securely.

 

• Make sure that there is sufficient space at the back of the electrosurgical generator to 

allow air circulation at the ventilation slots.

 

• Only use the electrosurgical generator in compliance with the environmental conditions as 

specified in the chapter “Specifications” on page 90.

 

• When lifting up, grip the electrosurgical generator at its sides with both hands. Do not hold 

the electrosurgical generator at its fuse holder.

The electrosurgical generator is equipped with a radio transmitting and receiving technology. 

Other radio transmitters and receivers, e. g. mobile phones, may interfere with the automatic 

instrument recognition.

 

• To avoid interference observe the instructions in the chapter “Electromagnetic 

compatibility” on page 92.

In case that a damaged electrosurgical generator is connected inadequately to the mains 

electricity, there is the risk that internal electrical components conduct voltage to the 

housing. This could result in electric shock to the user.

 

• Connect the mains plug of the cord set directly to a grounded fixed socket-outlet.

 

• If a multiple socket-outlet is used take account of the following:

 

• The multiple socket-outlet must be equipped with an insulating transformer of 

protection class I, conforming to IEC 60601-1.

 

• Observe the maximum permitted current or power loading of the multiple socket-outlet 

and the insulating transformer.
