Audio Volume

The audio levels stated below are for activation tones (cut, coag, and bipolar) and alarm tones (return electrode and
system alarms) at a distance of one meter. Alarm tones meet the requirements for IEC 60601-2-2.

Activation Tone

Alarm Tone

Return Electrode Sensing

The system presents audible and visible alarms when it senses no return electrode.

Low Frequency (50-60 Hz) Leakage Current

3-3

Ser vice Guide • Aaron 2250

Volume (adjustable)

45 to 65 dB

Frequency

Cut: 1 kHz

Blend: 1 kHz

Coagulation: 2 kHz

Fulguration: 2 kHz

Bipolar: 2 kHz

Duration

Continuous while the generator is activated

Volume (not adjustable)

Solid

Trip resistance: 0 

to 5 

± 3 

Continuous measurement:

Once the system establishes the solid return electrode resistance, an 
increase of 20 

± 5 

in resistance will cause an alarm. When the 

alarm condition exists, the system deactivates output power.

Split

Trip resistance: 10 

± 5 

to 135 

± 10 

Continuous measurement:

Once the system establishes the split return electrode resistance, an 
increase of 40% in resistance will cause an alarm. When the alarm 
condition exists, the system deactivates output power.

Enclosure source current, ground open

< 500 µA

Source current, patient leads, all outputs

Normal polarity, intact ground: < 10 µA
Normal polarity, ground open: < 10 µA
Reverse polarity, ground open: < 10 µA

Sink current at high line, all inputs

< 10 µA
