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 Vivid™ S60/Vivid™ S70 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 Vivid™ S60/Vivid™ S70 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.
Try to move the scanner to:
•
another location inside the room
•
another room
•
another floor
