Console Requirements
2-2-1 Unit Environmental Requirements
NOTE: The Vivid™ S5 N and Vivid™ S6 N system may be operated at an altitude of up to 3000 meters
(9842 ft)
NOTE: After a long period of storage, or after transportation of the system with the monitor in the folded-down
position, it is highly recommended to place the monitor in the upright position - and to leave it in this
position for a period of longer than 1 hour before use. This will enable it to properly adjust to the
environmental conditions.
2-2-2 Cooling Requirements
The cooling requirement for the Vivid S5 N or Vivid S6 N ultrasound unit environment is 3500 BTU/hr.
This figure does not include the cooling required for lights, people, or other equipment in the room.
NOTE: Each person in the room places an additional 300 BTU/hr demand on the environmental
cooling.
2-2-3 Lighting Requirements
For system installation, updates and repairs, bright lighting is required. However, operator and patient
comfort may be optimized if the room lighting is subdued and indirect when a scan is being performed.
Therefore, a combination lighting system (dim/bright) is recommended. Keep in mind that monitor
lighting can be adjusted automatically on the Vivid S6 N if this option is used.
