Ensure Proper Grounding
It is the user's responsibility to
ensure that the electrical installation
of the relevant room complies with
local codes and regulatory
requirements such as IEC and BSI.
To ensure patient safety, the Force 2 generator must be properly grounded.
The ground wire in the power cord connects to the unit chassis and
ensures that no dangerous currents flow from the unit in the event of
internal electrical failure. Do not use extension cords or three-prong or
two-prong electrical adapters.
Undesirable leakage currents are affected by the polarization of the
50-60 Hz input power. It is the responsibility of the user to ensure proper
polarity and grounding of the power outlets supplying power to the unit.
If required, use the equipotential ground cable supplied with the unit.
The equipotential ground connector is located on the rear panel of the
generator.
Routine Maintenance
Valleylab recommends that the Force 2 generator be inspected by qualified
service personnel once a year. The service manual describes the
recommended inspection, testing, and calibration procedures. For major
repairs the generator can be returned to Valleylab. Repair parts or
information needed to repair the generator may be obtained from
Valleylab.
The power cord should be periodically checked for damaged insulation or
connectors.
Refer to the MedGV Supplement in this manual for specific MedGV
requirements on the Force 2-8 PCH generator.
Cleaning Instructions
Use a mild detergent and damp cloth to clean the generator cover,
keyboard, and cord. Do not allow fluids to enter the chassis. Do not use
caustic, corrosive, or abrasive cleaning materials. The generator cannot be
sterilized.
