7. Important information
Power connection
•
Protective earth: to avoid the risk of electric shock, this equipment must only be connected to a supply
mains with protective earth. (Class I Equipment)
•
The equipment must be powered from a center-tapped electrical circuit when used in the USA at
voltages above 120 Volts.
•
The medical approved DC power supply must be powered by the AC mains voltage (protective earth
terminal).
•
The equipment is intended for continuous operation.
•
The equipment is powered from an external power supply for class I equipment. The installer is re-
sponsible for testing the equipment’s earth ground to verify that it meets the impedance requirements
for the given country regulatory requirements.
•
The equipment must be earthed by a minimum 18 AWG, maximum 6 foot (1,8m) long wire connected
to the ground connection at the rear of the display.
•
The compliance of this monitor with Medical Safety and EMC requirements has been evaluated using
the external (optional) Skynet medical power supply model SNP-A087–3. If a different power supply
will be used, further investigation for Safety and EMC requirements, have to be performed at system
level.
Power cords:
•
In Europe, use a power cord H05VV-F or H05VVH2-F rated 0.75mm2 250V, with a Plug rated 10A
250V. At least one European safety mark is required.
•
In US and Canada, use a power cord with plug “hospital grade”, provided with instructions to indicate
that grounding reliability can be achieved only when the equipment is connected to an equivalent
receptacle marked hospital only or hospital grade. Rating, min 18 AWG SJT 60°C 300V, Plug NEMA
5-15 P, Connector IEC 320. The cULus safety mark is required.
•
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this may result in
fi
re or electric shock.
•
Mains lead protection (U.S.: Power cord): Power cords should be routed so that they are not likely to
be walked upon or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords
at plugs and receptacles.
Connections
•
Any external connection with other peripherals must follow the requirements of clause 16 of
IEC60601-1 3rd ed. or Table BBB.201 of IEC 60601-1-1 for the medical electrical systems.
•
Connections to the I/O ports must be made with shielded signal cables and metallic RFI / EMI con-
nectors to maintain compliance with Electromagnetic Compatibility Regulations.
Water and moisture
•
The equipment is IP33 compliant. The front panel only is IPx6 compliant.
•
To prevent damage which may result in
fi
re or shock hazard do not expose this appliance to rain or
excessive moisture.
Ventilation
Do not cover or block any ventilation openings in the cover of the set. When installing the device in a
cupboard or another closed location, heed the necessary space between the set and the sides of the
cupboard.
