Messages in Case of Activation Errors
If upon actuation of a foot switch, a finger switch on the instrument or, in case of a bipolar coagulation
current with automatic activation upon tissue contact, no activation of the HF current takes place and
instead one of the messages listed below appears, then carry out the measures described.
Message
Description
First assign double foot switch CUT to a
channel!
First assign double foot switch COAG to a
channel!
First assign a channel to the single foot
switch!
The actuated foot switch has not been assigned to any channel of
the current program yet.
Assignment the foot switch as described in section 10.3.4, page 55.
If upon actuation of a foot switch no effect on the instrument is
perceptible although the activation sound is heard, then verify that
the foot switch is assigned to the desired channel.
This channel must be selected first:
No activation!
There was an attempt to activate a deselected channel. Is activabi-
lity is intended, first the channel must be selected by pressing the
channel selection key so that its settings appear on the screen, see
Conflicting activation actions -> HF
interrupted!
Both pedals of the foot switch were actuated at the same time.
Simultaneous activation of both finger switches of a monopolar
instrument triggers the SWAP® mode.
Connection error on monopolar channel M:
Please swap the connections!
A monopolar instrument was activated via foot switch, which is
connected to the port output M via a single 4-mm connector. This
plug is not connected to the leftmost 4-mm socket but to one of the
sockets on its right, see section 6.2.1, page 32.
Unplug the 4-mm connector and insert it into the leftmost socket;
for the m-version this is the inner conductor of the 13-mm coaxial
socket.
Caution: Instrument has tissue contact, no
activation!
This message appears when on a bipolar channel a coagulation
current with auto-start function is selected while the instrument
already has tissue contact. Automatic activation upon tissue contact
is possible only after the instrument has been separated from the
tissue and brought into contact again.
Bipolar instrument has tissue contact…
The bipolar auto-start/auto-stop function shows this message after
activation has been stopped automatically. For reactivation, tissue
contact must be interrupted and established again.
No activation due to error of the neutral
electrode!
It was attempted to activate a monopolar current although the
neutral electrode monitor shows no correct attachment and the
status light next to the socket flashes red, see section 9.5, page 48.
Single-piece NE is prohibited by Setup,
hence NE error!
The unit has detected connection of a single-piece neutral
electrode, although this in not permissible in accordance with the
change of the setting in the
Setup
menu. Activation of monopolar
power is not possible in this fashion. If the unit is to be used (again)
with single-piece electrodes, the setting must be reverted in the
Setup menu, see section 10.6.4, page 65.
