6-6 LigaSure Vessel Sealing Generator Service Manual
Inspecting the Generator and Accessories
Equipment
• Bipolar footswitch and vessel sealing footswitch
• Bipolar adapter
• Bipolar instrument cords
• Vessel sealing instrument cords
Procedure
1. Turn off the generator, and disconnect the power cord from the wall
receptacle.
Rear Panel
2. Check the rear panel footswitch receptacles for obstructions or damage.
Check for a secure fit by inserting the bipolar footswitch or vessel sealing
footswitch connector into the appropriate receptacle.
3. Remove the fuse and verify correct voltage and current rating. Refer to
Chapter 4, Performance Characteristics.
If either connection is loose, re-apply the plug to secure the plug/ receptacle
mating. If the connection is still loose, try another footswitch for the
receptacle. If the connection is still loose, replace the footswitch board
assembly. Refer to Chapter 8, Footswitch Board for further instructions.
Front Panel
4. Check the bipolar handset receptacle on the front panel for obstructions or
damage. You can connect either a footswitching or handswitching bipolar/
macrobipolar instrument to this receptacle. Insert the handset into this
receptacle to verify a secure fit.
If the connection is loose, re-apply the handset to secure the handset/
receptacle mating. If the connection is still loose, try another handset. If the
connection is still loose, replace the front panel. Refer to Chapter 8, Front
Panel and Display Board for further instructions.
Important
When testing RF equipment, follow these test procedures to duplicate
manufacturer test data. Lead inductance and stray capacitance can adversely
affect readings. Carefully select suitable ground points to avoid ground loop error
in measurements.
The accuracy of most RF instruments is approximately 1-5% of full scale. Using
uncompensated scope probes causes large errors when measuring high voltage
RF waveforms.
