NOTE
Although class A limits have been derived for industrial and commercial establishments,
administrations may allow, with whatever additional measures necessary, the installation and
use of class A ISM equipment in a domestic establishment or establishment connected directly to
domestic electricity power supplies.
3. Insert the power cord into the Power Cord Receptacle on the back of the Generator.
A standard hospital grade power cord is necessary for proper connection of the
Generator to the power source. To ensure user safety, the Generator must be properly
grounded through the power cord and power outlet.
4. Connect the power cord from the Generator directly to an AC source. The Generator
is designed to operate as shipped with full regulation between 90-132 VAC or
198-264 VAC at 50-60 Hz. This allows the Generator output to remain constant in case
of brownouts or power surges.
WARNING
The power cord must meet all requirements for safe grounding. Its purpose should not be
defeated by using extension cords, multiple plug points or three pronged to two pronged
adapters. Power cords should always be grasped by the plug. Do not pull the cord itself.
5. Connect the Footswitch to the receptacle on the front of the Generator.
6. Press the Generator power switch to the ON position. Verify that the green light in
the switch illuminates. When the Generator is first switched on prior to Electrode
connection a system self-check sequence will be initiated.
7. Verify that the “CONNECT CABLE” is flashing on the display prompt on the front of the
Generator. This completes the Generator installation procedure. Turn the generator
power switch OFF when not in use.
