Fig. 1 Control unit
The additional potential equalisation has the task
of equalising potentials of various metal parts
which can be touched at the same time or of re-
ducing potential differences that can arise in the
application between the body, electromedical
equipment and foreign conductive parts.
The connection is made via green-yellow insu-
lated cables (min. 4 mm²) on standardised con-
nection bolts and connection sockets.
When connecting/combining ME devices to form
an ME system, the requirements of IEC/EN
60601-1 must be observed.
The mains connection cable supplies the control
unit with mains voltage via a plug. The device is
disconnected from the power supply by pulling
out the mains plug.
