Neutral electrode connection
The connection socket (9, Fig. 6-1) for connection of the neutral
electrode cable is suitable for a symmetrical (angular) plug
according to US standard.
Risk of injury due to failure of power control!
Extensive neutral electrodes which are not in direct contact with the patient’s skin (so-called capacitive
neutral electrodes) limit or disable the control of the HF output power for some monopolar cutting
currents. When using such neutral electrodes, note the instructions for the use of the respective cutting
currents in section 11.1, page 68!
The neutral electrode used must be selected in the selection menu, which may lead to restrictions of
possible current types and power settings.

Connections on the Rear
6.3.1
Foot switch connections
Two foot switches can be connected to the maxium® smart C:
•
One double-pedal foot switch at the connection socket (18, Fig. 6-1),
•
one single-pedal foot switch at the connection socket (19, Fig. 6-1).
At the connection socket (18, Fig. 6-1) for the double-pedal foot switch, in
accordance with its intended purpose the yellow pedal is used for both
monopolar and bipolar cutting and the blue pedal for monopolar and bipolar
coagulation. The yellow pedal can be freely assigned to any cutting channel, the
blue to any coagulation channel.
The additional connection of a further single-pedal foot switch (19, Fig. 6-1)
allows activation of an instrument both in the monopolar (cutting/coagulation)
and also in the bipolar area (cutting/coagulation). The pedal can be freely
assigned to any cutting or coagulation channel.
6.3.2
Interface for the maxium® smart Beam
For connection of the maxium® smart Beam, the socket (20, Fig. 6-1) is provided.
This connection is used both for control of and power supply to the maxium®
smart Beam.
