Installing and Testing the Remote Switch Activator
(optional)
Use the Valleylab Remote Switch Activator with any of Valleylab’s
electrosurgical pencils and generators.
1.
Select a location on the generator near the speaker where the Remote Switch
Activator is to be mounted.
2.
Clean the surface of the selected area with alcohol. Allow the alcohol to
evaporate.
3.
Remove the backing from the gasket on the RSA.
4.
Affix the RSA to the generator.
5.
Plug the RSA connector into the Remote Activator jack located on the back
panel of the smoke evacuator.
6.
Turn on the smoke evacuator and press the up-arrow (
) button twice to
illuminate the first two air flow indicators (40% motor speed).
7.
Set up the surgical pencil and generator as instructed in their user
documentation. If the generator’s audible-tone volume can be adjusted, set it
at 50%.
8.
Initiate programming the Remote Switch Activator by pressing the
Program/Reset button continually for 10 seconds.
9.
Set the generator to cut mode.
10.
Activate the generator in cut mode until the smoke evacuator motor starts.
Depending on the generator, this may take up to 40 seconds.
11.
When the smoke evacuator motor starts, deactivate the generator in cut mode.
12.
Set the generator to coag mode.
13.
Activate the generator in coag mode until the smoke evacuator motor starts.
Depending on the generator, this may take up to 40 seconds.
14.
When the smoke evacuator motor starts, deactivate the generator in coag
mode.
The Remote Switch Activator is now programmed. Powering on and off the
RapidVac Smoke Evacuator is now controlled by the generator and Remote
Switch Activator.
Important
Do not activate the generator in cut mode again until the Remote Switch Activator
has been programmed in coag mode.
Important
If the generator has only one tone, program this same tone into the Remote
Switch Activator memory.
If both the cut and coag tones are not activating the smoke evacuator reprogram
the Remote Switch Activator. Disconnect the Remote Switch Activator from the
smoke evacuator, then re-connect. Repeat the programming instructions
beginning with step 8.
