Maintenance and safety inspections
N
In case of any detected and/or assumed malfunctions and/or defects and/or unreadable safety
warning labels the device has to be taken out of operation, the device has to be marked and
secured against operation and the supplier and authorized service personnel has to be informed
in writing.
N
Disregard of warnings, disregard of intended and forbidden use, safety precautions and also
unauthorized or lack of maintenance and/or regular safety checks may lead to injuries or death
and/or can damage the device and will result in loss of any liability and warranty.
N
Before intervening in the device for safety reasons switch the running machine off and pull the
mains plug out.
N
During all maintenance works and safety tests make sure that no third parties are directly or
indirectly in contact with the device under test and/or the technician performing the test. Keep a
safety area of 2 m radius clear.
Some running machine models are not equipped with an UserTerminal, so there is no keyboard or display available on these
running machines. It is only possible to control these running machines via interface. With this interface you can use different
external equipment, e.g. ECG, Ergospirometrie, PC with h/p/cosmos software h/p/cosmos para graphics
®
or h/p/cosmos para
control
®
. You can find important safety precautions and a complete list of all compatible external equipment in the chapter
“compatibility RS232 interface” and in the internet www.coscom.org.
For these models an additional keyboard or an external UserTerminal for remote control via RS232 is available as an option.
If using an additional keyboard you might need to install additional wiring and a connector depending on the model.
UserTerminal MCU4 remote control with 5 meter cable [cos10002]
Additional keyboard with 6 keys with 2 meter cable [cos10106]
For maintenance and diagnosis we recommend the use of PC Software h/p/cosmos para control
®
(Freeware) which is
available for download at: www.h-p-cosmos.com/en/software/para_control.htm

Preventive maintenance
The h/p/cosmos authorised service engineers are happy to help you in the case of occurring problems.
A preventive maintenance can avoid problems in the future and is indispensable for the safety of such technical devices.
Therefore ask for an annual preventive maintenance contract, which is highly recommended by the manufacturer, from
our service department. Some basic regular maintenance and regular safety checks are obligatory!
Before switching the device on always check the circuit cable, plug, outlet socket and circuit entry of the device.
