Introduction and Safety
5
1.2.3. Electrical Shock
If the equipment must be serviced with the covers removed, observe the following precautions:
Equipment that contains high power electrical components must be serviced only by
personnel familiar with proper safety procedures for working near these components.
Disconnect AC power (and battery packs if used) before discharging static electricity in
components such as electrolytic capacitors and high voltage cables. Failure to heed this
message will result in death or severe personal injury.
Allow adequate time for static charges to discharge through bleeder resistors. Use a
high wattage resistor when discharging circuits to avoid burns.
Have someone watch while you work near high voltages. This person must remain
clear of all circuitry and be prepared to turn off the power to the system and render aid
in an emergency.
High voltage cables and electrolytic capacitors can retain a dangerous static charge for
long periods after power has been removed. Some devices can acquire a charge
spontaneously without direct contact with other circuitry. Do not touch these
components unless power has been completely removed and they have been
discharged.
Never operate the system unless all safety ground wires (green wire with a yellow
stripe) and related components are fastened in place. Dangerous electrical shock and
improper equipment operation can otherwise result.
Remove all metal rings and watchbands before working on system circuitry. Skin burns
and damage from involuntary muscle contractions can result if metal jewelry shorts
electrical circuits.
1.2.4. Explosion
If an abnormal condition occurs, such as the room fills with flammable gas, steps must be taken to
prevent the gas from contacting components within the equipment. Follow these guidelines:
1. Do not turn the system on or off.
2. Do not un-plug or plug-in system or peripheral equipment power cords.
3. Do not operate light switches or other electrical equipment.
4. Evacuate all personnel immediately.
5. Notify the hospital administration and/or fire department.
