Calibrating the Force EZ-C Series Electrosurgical Generator
6-22
Force EZ-C Series Service Manual
4.
Activate the footswitch in each monopolar mode at the maximum control
setting. Record the leakage current. It should not exceed 150 mA for any
mode.
5.
If the high frequency leakage exceeds 150 mA, call the Valleylab Service
Center for further instructions.
Checking Bipolar High Frequency Leakage Current
1.
Remove the monopolar accessories, and connect the 200 ohm load from one
side of the bipolar output through the current transformer to the equipotential
ground lug on the rear of the generator.
2.
Connect the current transformer to the true RMS voltmeter.
3.
Connect a bipolar footswitch to the Bipolar Footswitch receptacle at the rear
of the generator.
4.
Activate the footswitch in each mode at maximum control setting. Record the
leakage current. It should not exceed 60 mA for any mode.
5.
If the high frequency leakage exceeds 60 mA, call the Valleylab Service
Center for further instructions.
Calibrating the Force EZ-C Series Electrosurgical Generator
The calibration procedure consists of eight steps. During calibration you verify
information specific to the Force EZ-C Series Electrosurgical Generator, adjust
the calendar, and adjust the clock. You also adjust the REM circuit and several
values, or factors, that ensure the proper operation of the generator.
Notice
After completing any calibration step, proceed to the next step to save the values
from the completed calibration step.
