EMC and Electrical Safety Information
The SDI® 4c, a connected BIOM® 5 and a microscope constitute a Medical Electrical
System (ME System) in accordance with DIN EN 60601-1. If you connect any more
devices, they too become part of the ME System.
Make sure that all devices of the ME System meet the provisions of IEC 60601-1
or of IEC 60950-1
Use the plug-in power supply unit included in the scope of delivery.

Use a multiple socket extension cord that complies with the requirements of DIN
EN 60601-1:2005 section 16.
Do not place the multiple socket extension cord on the floor.
Do not use more than one multiple socket extension cord.
Plug only the SDI® 4 into this multiple socket extension cord.
If you use a multiple socket extension cord, it must be supplied with power via an
isolating transformer.
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC / Cables)
Risk of personal injury or damage to property due to electromagnetic interference
Portable and mobile HF communications appliances (high frequency) can affect
medical, electric equipment.
Make sure that portable and mobile RF communications equipment do not cause
interference.
Recommendation: Maintain a minimum distance of 4 m. If the distance is shorter,
