2.2.3 Power Requirements and System Grounding
The A-2000 BIS Monitor requires a power source of 100-240 VAC, 50-60Hz. Current
consumption is 1 ampere maximum (including printer load).
To protect operating personnel and patients, the monitor must be properly grounded.
Accordingly, the monitor is equipped with a hospital grade line cord. The power cord
grounds the system to the power line ground when plugged into an appropriate
three-wire receptacle.
WARNING!
FOR PROPER GROUNDING, THE POWER RECEPTACLE MUST BE A
THREE-WIRE GROUNDED OUTLET. A HOSPITAL GRADE OUTLET
IS REQUIRED. NEVER ADAPT THE THREE-PRONG PLUG FROM
THE MONITOR TO FIT A TWO-SLOT OUTLET. IF THE OUTLET HAS
ONLY TWO SLOTS, MAKE SURE THAT IT IS REPLACED WITH A
THREE-SLOT GROUNDED OUTLET BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO
OPERATE THE MONITOR.
IF THE INTEGRITY OF THE EXTERNAL PROTECTIVE EARTH
GROUND IS IN DOUBT, THE A-2000 SHALL BE OPERATED FROM
ITS INTERNAL BATTERY POWER SOURCE ONLY.
FOR A-2000s USED OUTSIDE OF NORTH AMERICA - A
HARMONIZED LINE CORD WITH CONDUCTORS HAVING A CROSS
SECTIONAL AREA GREATER THAN 0.75 mm

MUST BE USED.
2.2.4 Site Preparation: Mounting the Monitor
Aspect Medical Systems, Inc. strongly recommends permanent mounting of the A-2000
monitor to the anesthesia machine to enhance safety and facilitate ease-of-use. Please
contact your local representative or Aspect to discuss mounting options.
WARNING!
BE SURE THE MONITOR IS MOUNTED SECURELY IN PLACE TO
AVOID PERSONAL OR PATIENT INJURY.
2.2.4.1 Direct Shelf Mounting
The A-2000 has a centrally located screw hole on its underside, in which a #10-24
machine screw can be used to secure the monitor to a shelf (via through-hole).
Engagement length of this screw hole is .23 inches (.58 cm). If a printer is attached, use
the holes on the underside of the printer.
2.2.4.2 Mounting the Monitor using the Pole Clamp
To mount the monitor to a secure vertical pole (1/2" - 1½" in diameter):
1. Place pole within clamp bracket and tighten screw using the black finger knob.
Make sure that there is enough space above the clamp so that you have a few
inches to slide the monitor in from above.
2. Line up the clamp shoe (on back of monitor) with the slot on pole clamp and slide
monitor down to fit. The bottom of the clamp shoe should be seen well below the
bottom of the pole clamp, and the monitor should snap securely into place.
