Table 3 Visual Inspection
SPECIFICATION
INSPECTION
System Safety Marking and Labeling
Labels are intact and legible
Physical integrity
Check for any obstructions on Cart wheels,
wheel locks, and handles.
Housing and Enclosure
No external damages or cracks on housing and
enclosure of the RF Generator and Tablet.
Cabling, including power cords, USB and
Sync cables
Look for defects such as cuts and wear.
User documentation or IFU
The documentation is accessible and up to date
Replace cords if the attachment plug blades are bent. DO NOT re-straighten and DO NOT attempt to
repair abnormal cables. If damage has occurred to the insulation, replace the cord or cable
immediately, as electric shock and/or equipment damage may result.
Any condition that appears to affect proper operation or present an otherwise unsafe condition
should be repaired or replaced. For replacement of cords, connectors, or accompanying
documentation, contact the Gynesonics Representative.
2.2
Insulation Resistance
Measure resistance between the chassis and the ground pin of the attachment plug as shown in
Figure 1-1 through 2-3. During test, the cord shall be flexed at its connection to the attachment plug
or connector, and at its connection to the strain relief on the chassis. Note that vigorous flexing is
not needed.
