Electrical power supply
The ventilator is designed for a mains voltage of
either: 220 V to 240 V
or: 100 V to 127 V
● Insert the plug in the mains socket.
Operation with Evita DC power supply and external battery
(optional):
● Connect external battery via battery lead. Note Instructions
for Use of the Evita DC power supply.
Note on the use of a socket strip
Connecting other devices to the same extension socket strip
may, in the event of earth failure, cause the current leakage to
the patient to increase beyond the permissible values. In this
case, the risk of electric shock cannot be eliminated.
Temporary interruption of power supply
e.g. when switching on the reserve power supply.
Without optional Evita DC power supply:
During the power failure, Evita 2 dura will output a continuous
tone for max. 2 minutes.
This continuous tone may be output for a shorter period if
Evita 2 dura was switched on for less than 15 minutes.
Evita 2 dura tolerates power interruptions shorter than
10 milliseconds – without any effect on ventilation.
