Force FX Electrosurgical Generator C Service Manual
Testing the Generator
Turning on the generator initiates an internal self-test to verify the calibration. The self-
test also checks the operation of the speaker, all indicators, and the displays.
Generator Self-test
1.
Turn on the generator by pressing the front panel On (
|
) switch. Verify the following:
• All visual indicators and displays on the front panel illuminate.
• Activation tones sound to verify that the speaker is working properly.
2. If the self-test is successful, a tone sounds. Verify the following:
• Indicators above the default mode buttons (Standard bipolar, Pure cut, and
Fulgurate coag) illuminate green.
• Each display shows a power setting of one watt.
• The REM Alarm indicator illuminates red.
If the self-test is not successful, a
n alarm tone sounds. A number may momentarily
appear in the Cut display and, in most cases, the generator is disabled. Note the
number and refer to
Responding to System Alarms
on page 6-11
.
If you removed and/or replaced the battery, alarm number 212 may appear in the Cut
display when you turn on the generator. If this happens, calibrate the generator.
Warning
Use the generator only if the self-test has been completed as described. Otherwise, inaccurate
power outputs may result.
Important
If the coag mode has been optionally changed to default to Desiccate or Spray, that
corresponding indicator illuminates after the self-test is performed successfully.
