Installation

Be aware that the electrosurgical generator immediately turns off if the mains plug 

is disconnected or if the fuses blow. During a procedure, this could result in severe 

complications for the patient.

 

• Make sure that the mains plug is securely connected to the socket-outlet.

 

• Do not place portable socket-outlets on the floor to avoid trip hazards which could unplug 

the cord set.

 

• Only use power cords as specified in the section “Specifications for the cord set” on page 

91.

 

• Make sure that the circuit breaker is sufficient for the power requirements of the 

electrosurgical generator and additional equipment.

 

• Make sure that the fixed socket-outlet is grounded.

Only connect the electrosurgical generator to a grounded fixed socket-outlet.

 

• Make sure that the fixed socket-outlet meets the power requirements as specified on the 

rating plate of the electrosurgical generator.

Only connect the electrosurgical generator if the power specifications of the fixed socket-

outlet match the specifications on the rating plate.

To connect the electrosurgical generator to the mains electricity proceed as follows:

1.  Make sure that the electrosurgical generator is turned off, i.e. the power switch must not 

be depressed.

2.  Connect one plug of the cord set to the power socket on the rear panel of the ESG-200.

3.  Connect the other plug of the cord set to the socket-outlet of the mains electricity.

The purpose of additional equipotential bonding is to equalise potentials between different 

metal parts that can be touched simultaneously in the medical environment. Equipotential 

bonding increases electrical safety.

 

• Connect the pin at the rear panel of the electrosurgical generator to an equipotential 

bonding lead, which should be provided by the hospital's technical department.
