The following sections of the manual describe the preparation, set-up and initial installation of
the Radical-7R Pulse CO-Oximeter.
RADICAL-7R DOCKING STATION POWER REQUIREMENTS
Always use a hospital grade, AC power cable to connect the Radical-7R Pulse CO-Oximeter
to an AC power source. Do not connect the Radical-7R Docking Station to an AC outlet
controlled by a switch because the power to the instrument may be inadvertently switched
off.
Verify the AC power voltage and line frequency before use. Verify that the power source can
provide adequate power rating as indicated on the rear panel of the Radical-7R Docking
Station.
The Radical-7R Pulse CO-Oximeter is designed to operate on 100 to 240VAC, 47-63 Hz. The
instrument is rated at 55 VA max.
Connect a hospital grade power cable to the power entry module of the Radical-7R instrument
(IEC-320 connector type at the instrument). Connect the power cable to an AC power source.
Ensure that the instrument is adequately powered by verifying that the AC power indicator on
the Docking Station is illuminated.
CAUTION:
■
DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES REMOVE THE GROUNDING CONDUCTOR
FROM THE POWER PLUG.
■
DO NOT USE EXTENSION CORDS OR ADAPTERS OF ANY TYPE. THE POWER CORD
AND PLUG MUST BE INTACT AND UNDAMAGED.
■
USE THE POWER CORD AS THE MEANS TO DISCONNECT THE INSTRUMENT
FROM THE AC POWER AT THE WALL OUTLET.
■
IF THERE IS ANY DOUBT ABOUT THE INTEGRITY OF THE PROTECTIVE EARTH
CONDUCTOR ARRANGEMENT, OPERATE THE PULSE CO-OXIMETER ON INTERNAL
BATTERY POWER UNTIL THE AC POWER SUPPLY PROTECTIVE CONDUCTOR IS
FULLY FUNCTIONAL.
■
TO ENSURE PATIENT ELECTRICAL ISOLATION, CONNECT ONLY TO OTHER
EQUIPMENT WITH ELECTRICALLY ISOLATED CIRCUITS.
■
DO NOT CONNECT TO AN ELECTRICAL OUTLET CONTROLLED BY A WALL
SWITCH OR DIMMER.
