Apart from the APC 300 and the electrosurgical unit, no other appliances
must be connected to the mains sockets of the equipment trolley.
For safety reasons multiple sockets and extension leads should not be
used. If their use is unavoidable, they, too, must be provided with faultless
protective earthing.
To avoid high frequency disturbance and to protect the patient connect
the potential equalization pins of the electrosurgical unit and the APC
300 to the equipment trolley via potential equalization conductors.
Connect the potential equalization of the equipment trolley to the poten-
tial equalization of the operating theatre.
Environmental conditions
The APC 300 can be operated at a room temperature of between 10 and
40° C. The effective humidity can be between 30 and 75 %, non-
condensing. If these tolerances are exceeded in either ways, the unit may
break down.
The APC 300 must be set up in a way that permits air to freely circulate
around the case. The unit must not be set up in narrow niches or shelves.
The APC 300 is protected against penetration by liquids according to EN 60-
601-2-2 . The case is not absolutely watertight. For this reason, do not set up
the unit in the direct vicinity of tubes or vessels containing liquids. Do not
place any liquids on the APC 300.
