SAFETY NOTICES
This apparatus has been designed and tested in accordance with EN60601-1, 3
rd
edition.
Before powering up the instrument, be aware that the main plug shall only be inserted in a socket outlet
provided with a protective ground contact. You must not negate the protective action by using an extension
cord (power cable) without a protective conductor (grounding). Grounding one conductor of a two-
conductor outlet is not sufficient protection.
The VIPER™ sensors and sensor ports use standard USB-C style connectors. These ports are NOT a USB
connection. Only plug a VIPER™ sensor/stylus into these sensor ports.
When connecting a host device to the VIPER™ USB or RS-422 output port, ensure that the host device is
compliant to the relevant safety standard for that device (EN60950/EN61010).
Only connect a Polhemus magnetic source into the source ports.
Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable gases or fumes. Operation of any electrical
instrument in such an environment constitutes a definite safety hazard.
Only use the sync port with a Polhemus provided sync cable and in accordance with the instructions in this
manual.
Do not connect two magnetic sources of the same frequency. The SEU will cease operation.
Be sure to read and understand the concept of Hemisphere of Operation in this manual and operate the
product using the correct Hemisphere of Operation setting.
Be sure to read and understand the setup and operation of this product to ensure accurate measurements.
Read the Precautions section of this manual.
