Self-test
The device performs a self-test after it is switched on. All display elements on the front are turned
on during this process. The correct functioning of these elements cannot be checked by the device
itself. Therefore, they have to be checked by the user as follows:
After switching on, the red indicators above the neutral electrode indicator light up briefly.
Then all control buttons light up briefly. No line or point is allowed to appear on the output and timer
displays at this time. Finally, the three displays light up with “888”. At the same time, the activation
indicator lamps for monopolar “cut” and “coag” as well as bipolar “cut” and “coag” light up
sequentially; the respective activation tone has to sound simultaneously.
An error in the self-test sequence indicates a device defect. Do not continue using the device.
Contact your service partner.
After the internal device test completes successfully, the device is operational with the program
that was last used. An error number is displayed if an error is found (see chapter 11).

Connecting accessories
5.6.1
Connecting the neutral electrode
Connect the neutral electrode to the connection socket on the front of the device
(30). One-piece neutral electrodes or neutral electrodes with two partial areas that
make it possible to monitor the contact to the patient may be connected.
In monopolar mode, the “Neutral electrode not connected” indicator (31) above
the socket lights up if the neutral electrode is not connected. This indicator does
not light up in bipolar mode. If an attempt is made to activate the device in a
monopolar operating mode in this state, a loud acoustic warning signal is emitted.
RF current cannot be activated.
This has no influence on the bipolar current.
When an electrode with more than one surface is connected, the “Neutral
electrode not connected” indicator only turns off after the safe application state is
reached. Since individual warm-up times can be expected here, the additional
required time must be taken into account.
NOTE
Insufficient contact between the neutral electrode and patient only triggers an acoustic
warning signal when a neutral electrode that supports monitoring is used with the
contact quality monitor.
5.6.2
Connecting monopolar handles for cutting and coagulation
Connecting monopolar handles with finger switch, e.g. Sutter accessory REF
36 07 04:
To use monopolar handles with finger switch, connect the connection cable to
the socket (28) on the front of the device (see illustration to the left).
