Connecting HF instruments

Connecting a 2-pin plug with pin diameters of 4 mm, e.g. hand switch activated monopolar 

forceps, to the MONOPOLAR output socket can damage the electrosurgical generator.

 

• Do not connect monopolar HF instruments with  2-pin plugs.

 

• Only connect plugs to the MONOPOLAR output socket as specifi ed in the section 

"Description of the output sockets" on page 50.

If bipolar HF instruments are used, that have single plugs for each connecting pin, then 

there is the risk that the single plugs are connected accidentally to the wrong receptacles. 

This could result in damage of the electrosurgical generator.

 

• Only use bipolar HF instruments that have plugs as described in the section “BIPOLAR 

output socket specifi cations (applied part)” on page 51.

The electrosurgical generator can be used with monopolar cutting and coagulation 

instruments as well as with bipolar cutting and coagulation instruments. The HF instruments 

must have an appropriate plug to connect either into the MONOPOLAR socket or the 

BIPOLAR socket, see socket descriptions below.

When connecting HF instruments avoid generator settings, e.g. mode, effect, where the 

maximum output voltage exceeds the allowed peak voltage of the HF instrument. Refer to 

the sections about mode and output characteristics in the “Appendix A” on page 97. Also 

refer to the instructions for use of the HF instrument.
