1 SECURITY INSTRUCTIONS
1.1 Electrical Security
Check that the electrical safety provisions of the place where the equipment will be
installed comply with current regulations, before the apparatus is taken in service.
Risk of damaging the apparatus in case of excessive voltages or mains cut.
Check if the voltage and the frequency indicated at the back of the apparatus, are
conform to the electricity mains of the region.
The apparatus must only be used with the cable provided together with the device. It
must always be connected to a ground plug, conform to the local regulations for medical
premises.
In case of usage of a power extension cable, the leakage currents may increase. The
apparatus, in this case, might not be conform to security standards anymore.
1.2 Electromagnetic disruption
The apparatus is equipped with a filter for mains suppression. To avoid any eventual
disruption, don’t use the apparatus near to another sensitive high frequency device.
(Doppler, Pacemaker, etc.).
1.3 Protection against explosion
The apparatus must be disconnected from the power when the room, where the
apparatus is located, is disinfected.
Don’t use the apparatus in places where flammable gas or steam is present.
1.4 Security by installation
The apparatus cannot be installed at a location with high atmospheric dampness.
Avoid penetration of any liquids inside the apparatus because it is not watertight.
Don’t let the apparatus get wet.
If liquid has penetrated into the apparatus, stop the treatment immediately and
disconnect the apparatus from the mains. Have the apparatus checked by a competent
person.
Don’t expose the apparatus to high temperatures (>40°C).
Don’t install the apparatus near a heat source (e.g. central heating) and never under
the direct light of the sun.
Never cover the ventilation grate at the back of the apparatus. These vents must be
free to provide good air circulation.
Don’t expose the apparatus to rain.
The apparatus may never undergo vibrations.
Don’t keep the apparatus in places where the temperature is lower than 10°C.
