2-2-1 Environmental Requirements
2-2-1-1 Cooling
The cooling requirement for the Voluson i / Voluson e is 300 BTU/hr. This figure does not include cooling
needed for lights, people, or other equipment in the room.
NOTE: Each person in the room places an additional 300 BTU/hr demand on the cooling system.
2-2-1-2 Lighting
Bright light is needed for system installation, updates and repairs. However, operator and patient
comfort may be optimized if the room light is subdued and indirect. Therefore a combination lighting
system (dim/bright) is recommended. Keep in mind that lighting controls and dimmers can be a source
of EMI which could degrade image quality. These controls should be selected to minimize possible
interference.
