5.2 Putting the equipment into operation
To become familiar with this equipment the user should carefully read this chapter. This is
especially important when operating the equipment for the first time in order to avoid mis-
operations!
5.2.1 Description of operational facilities
The functions Cutting and Coagulation can be activated by the finger switch as well as by the
footswitch. The function fields Bipolar and the monopolar function fields that shall be used in
connection with handpieces without finger switches are activated by the double pedal footswitch.
Monopolar handpieces with finger switches and a bipolar instrument can simultaneously be
connected to the equipment and can be operated without further control of the equipment. The
bipolar instruments will then be activated by the double footswitch.
A simultaneous connection of monopolar handpieces without finger switches and bipolar
instruments with the double footswitch provided for this purpose is basically possible. This
mode of operation, however, is not recommended by the manufacturer because the
footswitch may only be allocated to either the monopolar or to the bipolar function. In this
case only the indicators of one function are switched on. For function change (bipolar/
monopolar) an arrow key in the not-activated function field has to be pressed. If it is
intended, i.e., to switch from bipolar to monopolar only one arrow key in the monopolar
function fields (CUT or COAG) has to be activated. Pressing an arrow key in the bipolar
field then re-activates the bipolar mode.
The following operational facilities can be chosen:
Monopolar Cutting and Coagulation
Connecting socket [3]: Monopolar handpiece with switches
yellow & blue
or
Connecting socket [3]: Monopolar handpiece w/o switches
Connecting socket [3]: Monopolar cable for endoscopic instruments
Connecting socket [20]: Double pedal footswitch
Bipolar Cutting

and Coagulation
Connecting socket [4]: Bipolar instrument
Connecting socket [20]: Double pedal footswitch
5.2.2 Preparation of equipment
First of all check that the supply voltage shown on the type label [18] corresponds to the main
voltage. Only then may the equipment be connected to the main power source and switched on.
The potential equalization cable is connected to the provided connector [19] and to the potential
equalization of the OR room.
The power cable is connected to the power socket [17] and a grounded power outlet.
It is recommended to not connect the BNC cable before the unit has finished its self-test.
Depending on the chosen possibilities in 5.2.1 the double pedal footswitch is connected to socket
[2], the monopolar handpiece to socket [3] and the bipolar instrument to socket [4].
5.2.3 Switching on the equipment
After activating the power switch [1] the green LED indicates the presence of supply voltage. After
completion of the automatic self test (around 2 min) the following initial parameters are indicated
in the function fields as pre set values:
Monopolar Cut Step 1
Monopolar Coag Soft
