Installation Reminders
3-2-1 Average Installation Time
The Vivid S5 N or Vivid S6 N installation and functional checkout will take approximately one hour; Vivid
S5 N or Vivid S6 N consoles with optional equipment may take slightly longer.
Once the site has been prepared, the average installation time required is shown in Table 3-2 below.
3-2-2 Installation Warnings
1.) The Vivid S5 N or Vivid S6 N ultrasound scanner weighs 65 Kgs (143 lbs), without
add-ons/peripherals.
Two people are always required to unpack the system.
2.) There are no operator-serviceable components. To prevent shock, do not remove any covers or
panels. If problems or malfunctions occur, unplug the power cord. Only qualified service personnel
should carry out servicing and troubleshooting.
NOTE: For information on shipping carton labels, refer to Figure 3-1 on page 3-5 and Figure 3-4 on
page 3-7 .
3-2-2-1 System Acclimation Time
Following transport, the Vivid S5 N or Vivid S6 N system may be very cold, or hot. Allow time for the
system to acclimate before being switched ON. Acclimation requires 1 hour for each 2.5
o
C increment,
when the temperature of the system is below 10
o
C or above 35
o
C.
NOTE: After a long period of storage, or after transportation of the system with the monitor in the folded-down
position, it is highly recommended to place the monitor in the upright position - and to leave it in this
position for a period of longer than 1 hour before use. This will enable it to properly adjust to the
environmental conditions.
