HIGH FLOW INSUFFLATION UNIT UHI-4
3.8 Connecting to an AC mains supply
• Be sure to connect the power plug of the power cord directly
to a grounded wall mains outlet. If the high flow insufflation
unit is not grounded properly, it can cause an electric shock
and/or fire.
• Do not connect the power plug to the 2-pole power circuit
with a 3-pole to 2-pole adapter. It can prevent proper
grounding and cause an electric shock.
• Do not connect the power plug using an extension cord. It
can prevent proper grounding and cause an electric shock.
• Always keep the power plug dry. A wet power plug may
cause an electric shock.
• Confirm that the hospital-grade wall mains outlet to which this
instrument is connected has adequate electrical capacity that
is larger than the total power consumption of all connected
equipment. If the capacity is insufficient, fire can result or
circuit breaker may trip and turn OFF this instrument and all
other equipment connected to the same power circuit.
• When using the mobile workstation (WM-NP1, WM-WP1,
WM-260, WM-W260), confirm that the mobile workstation
has adequate electrical capacity that is larger than the total
power consumption of all connected equipment. If the
capacity is insufficient, drop in the supply voltage can result
or the electric protective device may trip and turn OFF all the
equipment connected to the mobile workstation.
• When non-medical ancillary electrical equipment is used,
always connect the equipment to a wall mains outlet via an
isolation transformer. Otherwise, an electric shock can result.
• The total power consumption of all connected equipment to
the isolation transformer should not exceed the rating of the
isolation transformer. If it exceeds, add another isolation
transformer. Otherwise, the equipment may not work
correctly.
• Do not put the isolation transformer on a floor. It can cause
an electric shock, when water is split to the floor.
• Do not connect two or more isolation transformer in series. It
exceeds the rating of the isolation transformer. Otherwise,
the equipment may not work correctly.
