5.3.1. Instruments for monopolar applications
1. Plug the neutral electrode cable into the socket for the neutral
electrode 34.
2. Check the EASY monitoring for solid neutral electrodes 19 or the
EASY monitoring for split neutral electrodes 20 to ensure that it
corresponds to the type of neutral electrode connected.
3. Connect the electrode handle to the active connection socket 36
or 40.
–or–
For accessories without finger sensors: Connect the foot switch to
the connection socket 52. Connect the monopolar connector cable
using a Bovie connector.
–or–

socket for monopolar instruments 40 (left).
5.3.2. Instruments for bipolar applications
1. Connect the bipolar cable with the instrument, e.g. the tweezers.
2. Connect the bipolar cable to the active connection socket.
• At the connection socket for bipolar instruments 43, the
coagulation instrument set can be connected on the ARC
300, while coagulation, TUR coagulation, cutting, and TUR
cutting instruments can be connected on the ARC 350, and
ligation instruments can be connected on the ARC 350L in
the ligation programs.
• AUTOSTART works only in "bipolar standard mode"; see
Chapter Menu program 4 "Bip Coag Mode", Page 59.
4. For bipolar applications without AUTOSTART, connect the foot
switch to the connection sockets 50/52.
– or –
For bipolar applications with AUTOSTART, press the AUTOSTART
switch 32.
