English EX3™ Stepper
CAUTION
Certain parts of the EX3 Stepper must be free to move by design. Electrostatic Discharge can occur to these electrically ungrounded parts and disrupt operation
of electronic components inside the EX3 Stepper. The user is cautioned to follow operating precautions within this section.
WARNING
n
The EX3 Stepper is intended for use by healthcare professionals only. This equipment may cause radio interference or may disrupt the operation of
nearby equipment. It may be necessary to take mitigation measures, such as re-orienting or relocating the EX3 Stepper or shielding the location.
n
Immunity Level Justification: This device requires special precautions regarding Electrostatic Discharges (ESD). This device is compliant to +/- 4kV
ESD immunity level. Static discharges to the EX3 Stepper can occur and cause the position indicators to disconnect. If the device loses connection,
then an error message will be shown on the display and the encoder position will be disabled. If this occurs the operator must return the EX3 to the
starting position and reinitialize the control program to continue. The procedure can then be restarted.
To reduce the chance of an ESD error occurring, observe the following precautions:
l
Prior to operating the EX3 Stepper, touch the base of the stepper and procedure table. This should reduce any static buildup and reduce
chances of an electrostatic discharge.
l
Synthetic fabrics and carpets are electrical insulating materials and hold static charge on their surfaces. Use of these materials should be
minimized where the EX3 Stepper will be used.
l
Very low levels of humidity also contribute to static charge buildup. The EX3 Stepper should be used in a temperature/humidity controlled
environment where at least 20% relative humidity is maintained.
n
Use of replacement parts not provided by CIVCO may result in increased emissions or decreased immunity of the EX3 Stepper.
n
The EX3 Stepper should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment. If adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the EX3 Stepper should be
observed to verify normal operation in the configuration in which it will be used.
TABLE 1
GUIDANCE AND MANUFACTURER'S DECLARATION - ELECTROMAGNETIC EMISSIONS
The EX3 Stepper is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment specified below. The customer or the user of the EX3 Stepper should assure that it is
used in such an environment.
Emissions test Compliance Electromagnetic environment - guidance
RF emissions
CISPR 11
Group 1
The EX3 Stepper uses RF energy only for its internal function. Therefore, its RF emissions are very low
and are not likely to cause any interference in nearby electronic equipment.
