Inspecting the Generator
7-2 LigaSure Vessel Sealing Generator Service Manual
Inspecting the Generator
If the generator malfunctions, perform a visual inspection, checking for obvious
conditions that may have caused the problem:
• Check the generator for visible signs of physical damage.
• Verify that all accessory cords connect properly.
• Check the power cord. If you find exposed wires, cracks, frayed insulation, or
a damaged connector, replace the cord.
• Open the fuse drawer and inspect the fuse housing and fuses for damage and
corrosion. Verify that the fuses are firmly seated.
An internal component malfunction in the generator can damage the fuses. You
may need to replace the fuses if the generator fails the self-test or stops
functioning. Refer to Chapter 8, Fuses for further instructions.
Inspecting Receptacles
Equipment
• Bipolar footswitch
• Vessel sealing footswitch
• Bipolar instrument cords (handswitching and footswitching)
• Vessel sealing instrument cords (footswitching)
Procedure
To perform the inspection, follow this procedure:
1. Turn off the generator by pressing the power switch on the front panel to the
off position (O).
2. Disconnect the power cord from the wall receptacle.
3. Check the two footswitch receptacles on the rear panel for obstructions or
damage. Check for a secure fit by inserting each footswitch connector into the
appropriate receptacle.
If any connection is 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.
