• All cables used to connect the equipment must have an overall shielding to ensure
electromagnetic compatibility and optimal performance.
• Ferrite clamp filters must be attached to all cables connected to the OmniScan MX.
For details, see “Ferrite clamp filters” on page 96.
Ferrite clamp filters
Before using the OmniScan MX, attach the ferrite clamp filters (supplied with the
instrument) to the peripheral cables that will be connected to the OmniScan MX unit
and its modules. The optional peripherals are as follows:
• Olympus array probe (ultrasound and eddy current)
• 19-pin eddy current probe
• USB
• Ethernet network
• Scanner interface
• Alarm and I/O
If the ferrite clamp filters are not attached, the OmniScan MX will fail to comply with
the international and European electromagnetic emission specifications.
To attach the clamp filters
• Make sure that the cable is not clamped in between the pawls of the ferrite clamp
filter.
• Attach the ferrite clamp filters as closely as possible to the cable ends. The ferrite
clamp filters are not effective unless they are immediately adjacent to the cable
end connected to the OmniScan MX.
• Use the ferrite clamp filter with the corresponding cable diameter. The filter must
not slip easily or be difficult to clip onto the cable.
• Make sure that the two ferrite clamp-filter parts are closed tight until the clamp
clicks.
