3-6-1 Connecting the Unit to a Power Source
The connection of the Voluson i / Voluson e ultrasound unit to a power source should be performed by
a qualified person who has completed basic Voluson i / Voluson e System User Training. Use only the
power cords, cables and plugs provided by or designated by GE to connect the unit to the power source.
3-6-1-1 Voltage Level Checks
The following voltage level checks are required whenever the Voluson i / Voluson e system is used
with the Modo Cart:
1.) Check the Fuses and Voltage Output Selector setting located on the isolation transformer of the
Modo Cart. If required switch the output selector to correct position and exchange fuses of the
isolation transformer, as described in Section 3-4-3 on page 3-20).
2.) Verify the maximum power requirement.
!! CAUTION: Prior to
Prior to connect the Voluson i / Voluson e unit to a power source, verify compliance with all
electrical and safety requirements. Check the power cord to verify that it is intact and of
hospital-grade. Products equipped with a power source (wall outlet) plug should be connected
to the fixed power socket that has a protective grounding conductor. Never use an adapter or
converter to connect with a power source plug (for example, a three-prong to two-prong
converter).
!! WARNING:
The unit’s power must be supplied from a separate, properly rated outlet to avoid risk
of fire. Refer to Section 2-2-2-1 "Voluson i / Voluson e Power Requirements" on page 2-
2 for rating information. The power cord should not, under any circumstances, be
altered to a configuration rated less than that specified for the current.
!! CAUTION:
Whenever disconnecting the Voluson i / Voluson e system from the electrical outlet, always
observe the safety precautions. First unplug the main power cable from the wall outlet socket,
then from the unit itself. Remove by pulling on the cable connector - DO NOT pull on the cable.
!! CAUTION:
The Voluson i / Voluson e requires all covers!
Operate this system only when all board covers and frame panels are securely in place.
The covers are required for safe operation, good system performance and cooling purposes.
!! CAUTION:
Before starting the Voluson i / Voluson e or peripherals that are connected to the Modo Cart,
always make sure:
• Rating of isolation transformer fuses is compatible. • Output Selector is in correct position.
The wrong fuses and position of the voltage output selector may cause major damage on
Voluson i / Voluson e and connected peripherals.
!! DANGER:
Failure to provide an adequate earth circuit (ground) may cause electrical shock
and serious injury!
