Electrical connection
Electrical safety when making connections
Connect the device to a correctly installed
❯
power outlet only.
Do not operate any other systems using the
❯
same multiple socket.
Make sure that none of the electrical cables
❯
leading to the unit are under any mechanical
tension.
Before initial start-up verify that the mains sup-
❯
ply voltage and the voltage stated on the type
plate match (see also "4. Technical data").
Connecting the unit to the mains supply
The unit has no main power switch. For
this reason, it is important to set up the
unit properly such that the plug can be
easily accessed and unplugged if
required.
Requirements:
ü Properly installed power outlet close to the unit
(observe the max. length of the power cord)
ü Easily accessible power outlet
ü Mains voltage matches the information shown
on the type plate of the power supply unit
Plug the mains cable supplied with the unit into
❯
the power supply.
Plug the connecting plug of the power supply
❯
unit into the connection socket of the unit.

Plug the mains plug into the power outlet.
❯
The connection plug has a locking sys-
tem. To unplug the unit, slide the housing
of the connector backwards. Do not pull
on the cable.

Connecting the unit to the
network
Purpose of the network connection
The network connection is used to exchange
information or control signals between the unit
and a software installed on a computer, in order
to, e. g.:
– Display parameters
– Select operating modes
– Indicate messages and error situations
– Change device settings
– Activate test functions
– Transmit data for archiving
– Provide documents concerning the devices
The unit can be connected to the network with a
network cable or via WLAN.
For information on connection via WLAN,
see "Configuring WLAN on the unit".
Combining devices safely
– Safety and essential performance features are
independent of the network. The device is
designed appropriately for operation inde-
pendent of a network. However, some of the
functions are not available in this case.
– Faulty manual configuration can lead to signifi-
cant network problems. The expert knowledge
of a network administrator is required for con-
figuration.
– The data connection utilizes part of the band-
width of the network. Interactions with other
medical devices cannot be completely
excluded. Apply the IEC 80001‑1 standard for
risk assessment.
– The device is not suitable to be connected
directly to the public internet.
Take care when connecting units together or to
parts of other systems as there is always an ele-
ment of risk (e.g. due to leakage currents).
Only connect units when there can be no
❯
question of danger to operator or to patient.
