General Precautions
Microsoft Offi ce and AVG AntiVirus FREE software have been tested and do
not interfere with the RTCA Software. No other additional software may be
installed on the RTCA Control Unit. Installation of any other additional software
on the RTCA Control Unit involves the risk of interference with RTCA Software,
and could affect the result or control unit security.
Make sure that the main switch is freely accessible. Inappropriate location
can cause incorrect results and damage to the equipment parts. Follow the
installation instructions carefully. Keep all potentially infl ammable or explosive
material (for example, anesthetic gas) away from the instrument. Spraying
liquid on electrical parts can cause a short circuit and result in a fi re.
Keep the cover closed while the instrument is connected to the mains and do
not use sprays in the vicinity of the RTCA SP Instrument. During fi refi ghting
operations, disconnect the RTCA SP Instrument from the mains.
Electrical Safety
The RTCA SP Instrument is designed in accordance with Protection Class I
(IEC). The chassis/housing of the instrument is connected to protection earth
(PE) by means of a cord. For protection against electrical shock hazards, the
instrument must be directly connected to an approved power source such
as a three-wire grounded receptacle for the 110 V or 230 V line. Where an
ungrounded receptacle is encountered, a qualifi ed electrician must replace
it with a properly (PE) grounded receptacle in accordance with the local
electrical code. An extension must not be used. Any break in the electrical
ground path, whether inside or outside the instrument, could create a hazard-
ous condition. Under no circumstances should the user attempt to modify or
deliberately defeat the safety features of this instrument. If the power cord
becomes cracked, frayed, broken, or otherwise damaged, it must be replaced
immediately with the equivalent part from ACEA Biosciences.
