4.3.4
Applied part types
The control unit recognizes the different types of applied parts (motors and
handpieces). These are shown in the display as a combination of symbol
and text. The size and display depend on which socket the applied part is
connected to and whether the applied part is active or locked.
4.3.5
Identification of control elements on system components
Control elements on the system components of the ELAN 4 electro motor
system are labeled with a gold marking.
4.3.6
Recognition of connected motor cable and applied part
The settings (upper speed limit, pump status and delivery volume) last
selected with this application part type on this bushing are retrieved upon
inserting the same application part type.
When several different hand/foot controls are connected to the control
unit, they are prioritized in the following order (higher items have priority
over lower):
■
Hand controls GA804/GA805 or drill tool GA844
■
Foot control GA808
■
GA810 wireless foot control
4.3.7
Overload protection
To protect the micro motors in the applied parts against damage from
overheating, the motor temperature is monitored. If the temperature is too
high a warning signal sounds and a thermometer symbol appears in the
display
2
.
If the temperature continues to be too high, the applied part is switched
off. The following message appears in the display
2
: “The motor currently
being used is overheating. Please let the motor cool down or use another
suitable motor”.
After a cooling phase the applied part can be reactivated.
It is recommended to have a second applied part ready at hand.
4.3.8
Coolant and irrigation pump
The control unit is equipped with a coolant and irrigation pump
3
.
The pump can be activated either in the corresponding pump control panel
or via the corresponding button on the foot control. It can be started by
activating the motor or via the “Flush” function (continuous flushing). The
delivery rate can only be adjusted via the pump control panel.

For the safety of patients and users it is essential that the mains power cord
and, especially, the protective earth connection are intact. In many cases
defective or missing protective earth connections are not registered imme-
diately.
►
Connect the device via the potential equalization terminal at the rear
panel of the device to the potential equalization system of the room
used for medical purposes.
Note
The potential equalization lead can be ordered from the manufacturer as
art. no. GK535 (4 m length) or TA008205 (0.8 m length).
5.1
Set-up environment/set-up location
DANGER
Fire and explosion hazard!
►
Use the product outside of explosion hazard zones (e.g. areas with
highly pure oxygen or anesthetic gases).
The ELAN 4 electro control unit is authorized for operation in the operat-
ing room.
Note
After being installed and put into operation, the control unit must not be
transported or moved to a different set-up location.
Note
The control unit must not be placed on an Aesculap mobile stand (GA415,
GA416 and GD416M).
►
Make certain that the ventilation slots in the bottom of the housing
and in the rear panel of the control unit are not covered, e.g. by an OR
cloth.
►
Make certain that the control elements, mains power switch and power
socket
13
are freely accessible for the user.
►
Make certain the system is set up on a sufficiently stable support (e.g.
a table, ceiling support, equipment cart, etc.).
►
Follow the instructions for use of the support.
5.2
Stacking of units
►
Do not exceed a stack height of 415 mm.
►
Place the units in a stable position.
►
Aesculap devices must be stacked on top of each other facing identi-
cally.
►
Never move stack devices.

System set-up
WARNING
Risk of injury and material damage due to inadvertent activation of
the applied part!
►
Secure applied parts that are not actually used against inadvertent
activation ("Off" position), see section on locking applied part
("Off" position).
6.1.1
Connecting the accessories
Combinations of accessories that are not mentioned in the present
instructions for use may only be employed if they are specifically intended
for the respective application, and if they do not compromise the perfor-
mance and safety characteristics of the products.
Also note that any equipment connected at the interfaces must demon-
strably meet the respective IEC standards (e.g. IEC 60950 for data process-
ing equipment, IEC/DIN EN 60601-1 for electromedical devices).
All configurations must fulfill the basic standard IEC/DIN EN 60601-1. Any
individual connecting devices with one another is responsible for such
configuration and must ensure compliance with basic standard IEC/DIN
EN 60601-1 or applicable national standards.
►
Follow the instructions for use of individual accessories.
