OPERATIONAL SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
POWER SOURCE
This instrument is intended to operate indoors from a power source that does not apply more than 250 volts
RMS between the supply conductors or between either supply conductor and ground. A protective ground
connection by way of the grounding conductor in the power cord is required. If the unit is mounted in a
permanent installation (i.e. rack-mounted), then the user MUST provide access to the power switch OR connect
the instrument to a circuit with a user accessible breaker or power switch.
PROPERLY GROUND THE INSTRUMENT
This instrument is grounded through the power cord. It is a Class 1 Device. Grounding reliability can only be
achieved when the equipment is connected to a hospital grade receptacle. Use only the hospital grade power
cord and connector specified for your instrument. Use only a power cord that is in good condition.
Upon loss of the protective-ground connection, all accessible conductive parts may render an electric shock.
USE PROPER TEST LEADS AND CABLES
Test leads and/or interconnect cables may carry
HAZARDOUS
live voltages. They must be examined regularly
for wear. Worn leads or cables should be replaced.
USE THE PROPER FUSE
The instrument has internal fusing only and is not user serviceable.
EMI/RFI
The amplifier has been tested to meet EMI/RFI susceptibility and radiation standards. However, the user should
be aware of possible electromagnetic interactions between this device and other devices in the same area and
correct the situation as needed.
WARNINGS FOR AUTHORIZED SERVICE PERSONNEL
Dangerous voltages exist at several points in this instrument. To avoid personal injury, do not touch exposed
connections or components while power is on. Disconnect power before removing protective panels, soldering,
or replacing components.
