Installation
Original
power cords
If the original power cords are missing or damaged, you must order new ones from
your local BK Ultrasound representative.
Additional Protective Ground and Potential Equalization
An additional protective ground can be connected to the terminal underneath the
control panel, see Fig 2-1.
The potential equalization terminal underneath the control panel is connected to
the system chassis. It can be connected to corresponding terminals on other
equipment to eliminate potential differences. Do NOT use it for additional protective
grounding.
Figure 2-1. The terminals for potential equalization and additional protective ground
are underneath the control panel.
Connecting Other Equipment
For connection to other equipment, BK Medical systems have a communication

safety

WARNING I-w1
To ensure safe performance, a qualified electrician or hospital safety personnel must verify
that the equipment is correctly installed and that it complies with the following safety
requirements:
•
Use only the original power supply cord. In the USA, this is fitted with a hospital grade
three-prong grounded power plug. Never try to remove or change the plug on the
power supply cord.
•
All equipment must only be connected to a grounded AC power supply (or wall outlet)
that meets EN/IEC/NEC requirements or applicable local regulations. The examination
room’s grounding system should be checked regularly by a qualified electrician or
hospital safety personnel.
•
Never use extension cords. The increased length of the cord will increase the resistance
of the protective ground conductor and may increase the equipment’s leakage current
beyond an acceptable level.
•
Keep power cords, sockets and plugs clean and dry at all times.
•
Make sure that the power supply cord cannot be accidentally disconnected from the
power source or the equipment.
