3.0 INSTALLATION
3.1 General
3.1.1 In the U.K. the table is delivered un-crated with
the head and leg section fitted. The mattress set is boxed
individually and placed on the trunk sections. The handset,
mains cord and literature are supplied loose. Any
accessories ordered with the table will be packed
individually. Some of the following unpacking and assembly
information is not therefore applicable to U.K. customers.
For overseas markets the table is usually packed in a
container with the head and leg section fitted, together with
a boxed mattress set a mains cord and the literature. The
handset is packed within the container in an antistatic bag.
Other accessories are usually packed separately, but some
may be included in the main case and should be unpacked
and stored separately during the table installation.
3.1.2 When delivered packaged, carefully remove the
T20 operation table (having first removed any accessories
and packing restraints from within the container) from the
packing case as follows:-
i Remove the walls of the case leaving the table on
the base still in the braked position as packed.
Remove any chocks from the pallet base to enable
later table movement (iv below).
ii Position the ramp provided (in the packing case)
adjacent to the base of the case.
iii Follow the instruction provided in section 5.1 of this
manual and place the table base into the ‘Wheel’
orientation or mode.
iv With at least two people to support the table’s weight,
push it (do not pull it) off of the pallet base and down
the ramp.
v Note that the table should not be wheeled over rough
ground, always use a trolley until a smooth floor area
has been reached.
vi Should it be necessary to lift the operation table refer
to section 3.2 where suitable lifting points and
methods are detailed.
3.1.3 Unpack the mattress set and fit a mattress to
each tabletop section as detailed in section 5.2.6.

type, size and rating are installed (see Technical
Data, section 9.5.4).
3.1.6 The T20 Series of table require a mains electrical
supply corresponding to the voltage shown on the Serial
Number Plate located on the table base. Only use the
Eschmann mains supply cord provided with the table. If
the plug supplied fitted to the cord is not suitable it should
be replaced with a suitable plug wired as below. If the plug
is a fused type, a 10A fuse must be fitted. The mains supply
cord must always be wired as follows:
Brown internal cord to LIVE
Blue internal cord to NEUTRAL
Green internal cord to Earth
(Note: The T20-a, T20-s and T20-m tables are
Class II, Type BF, there is no EARTH connection
through to the table)

CAUTION
To complete and maintain the antistatic
pathway the table must be used on an
electrically conductive or antistatic floor and
with mattresses supplied by Eschmann
Equipment.
3.1.8 The table has an antistatic pathway from the
tabletop, through an internal resistor, to the castors. To
complete the antistatic pathway, the table must be used
on an electrically conductive, or on an antistatic floor (also
see the warning in section 6.1).
3.1.9 As with all medical electrical equipment care
should be taken with regard to electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC) during installation. These instructions
are written in line with the latest international standards
(EN 60601-1-2:2001) and are designed to minimise the
risk of electromagnetic compatibility issues. The T20 Series
