Different Power Outlet
Connect the unit to another power outlet and verify if the noise changes or disappear.
NOTE:
GE requires a dedicated power and ground for the proper operation of its Ultrasound equipment. This
dedicated power shall originate at the last distribution panel before the Ultrasound system.
The Venue Fit™ will function on voltages from 100-240 Volts and 50 or 60 Hz
.
However, if using 220
volt power in North America, then a center tapped power source is required
.
Sites with a mains power system with defined Neutral and Live
:
The dedicated line shall consist of one phase, a neutral (not shared with any other circuit), and a full
size ground wire from the distribution panel to the Ultrasound outlet
.
Sites with a mains power system without a defined Neutral
:
The dedicated line shall consist of one phase (two lines), not shared with any other circuit, and a full
size ground wire from the distribution panel to the Ultrasound outlet
.

Different System
Try another Venue Fit™ scanner at the same location and look for the same noise. If the noise is
present on the new system too, the noise is most likely from an external source/equipment.

Different Location
Move the scanner to another location and verify if the noise changes or disappear. This may help you
to locate an external noise source.

•
another location inside the room

another room
