Connecting Bipolar Instruments
An instrument connection cable is connected to socket (14) for bipolar coagulation.
A variety of instruments can be connected to this cable. The activation is triggered
exclusively via the foot switch that must be connected to socket (15).
The neutral electrode does not have to be connected for bipolar coagulation.

on the
front plate of the unit, an indicator LED (8) indicates the activation
of bipolar coagulation current, and there is one current type
available for bipolar coagulation:
Bipolar coagulation
Local contact coagulation in the area of the bipolar electrode pair

Use the power controller (1) for setting the output power. The power
setting is adjusted from a preset minimum value up to a maximum value
depending on the selected current type (see section 9 Technical Data,
page 34). The output power increases linearly with the angle of rotation;
the relation for each current type is indicated in the diagrams.
The specified power is always the maximum power that can be emitted
to a nominal load. In surgical applications, the power actually emitted to
tissue is usually lower.
In the lower adjusting range of the power controller, the power output is
not precisely specified. Therefore, use of the unit in this power range is
not recommended.
