1. Safety Instructions
Read carefully before first start up!
Electrical safety and conformity
The Kauko Xi-M computer must only be installed and brought into operation by qualified personnel.
The opening of the housing is also only to be carried out by qualified service personnel. The Kauko
Xi-M must only be powered by a 230/240V mains supply with an earth connector. The Off state of
a power indicator does not necessarily mean that voltage levels inside the product are zero.
Always ensure that all external power sources and communication lines are unplugged before
opening the housing. The operation area must comply with the requirements of EN/IEC 60601-1 or
EN/IEC 60950-1. Due to direct copper cooling, the housing surface area will reach temperatures of
up to 55 degrees Celsius, and the external power supply can warm up to 70 degrees Celsius. The
unit must only be operated by using the original power supply with the original mains cable
provided. An extension of the power supply cable is not permitted. If the original cable must be
replaced with another cable or a longer cable, only a cable validated by Kauko may be used. If any
visible damage, corrosion, heat, sparks or smoke is detected in the mains power line, the cable
should be replaced immediately with a new one that has been validated by Kauko. With the
transfer or resale of the unit, the same procedure must be followed.
If these instructions are not complied with, the unit loses its conformity and there is a
potential danger to the lives of the users, patients and third parties!
Initial operation
Read and follow all instructions carefully before connecting the mains cable! First unpack your new
computer very carefully and remove the protective foil. Allow the computer to adjust to room
temperature for at least 2 hours to ensure that possible condensation caused by temperature
fluctuations dissipates. If moisture is detected on the computer housing, wipe this off with a clean,
antistatic cloth. If there is visible moisture on the housing, the computer must not be connected to
the mains supply.
