Connecting To The Mains Power - GE CARESCAPE B850 Service Manual

CARESCAPE Monitor B850

6.5 Connecting to the mains power

WARNING Use only AC power cords recommended or manufactured by GE.
WARNING EXCESSIVE LEAKAGE CURRENT - To avoid summation of leakage currents
when interfacing the device with other equipment, the devices may only be
interconnected with each other or to parts of the system when it has been
determined by qualified biomedical personnel that there is no danger to the
patient, the operator, or the environment as a result. In those instances
where there is any element of doubt concerning the safety of the connected
devices, the user must contact the manufacturers concerned (or other
informed experts) for proper use. In all cases, safe and proper operation
should be verified with the applicable manufacturer's instructions for use,
and system standards IEC60601-1 must be complied with.
WARNING Do not under any circumstances remove the grounding conductor from the
power plug. Always check that power cord and plug are intact and
undamaged.
WARNING POWER SUPPLY — Always connect the device power cable to a properly
installed power outlet with protective earth contacts before connecting any
network cables (MC and IX networks). If the integrity of the protective earth
conductor is in doubt or there is no protective earth available, do not
connect the monitor to the power line. All devices of a system must be
connected to the same power supply circuit. Devices which are not
connected to the same circuit must be electrically isolated when operated.
CAUTION POWER REQUIREMENTS - Before connecting the device to the power line, check
that the voltage and frequency ratings of the power line are the same as those
indicated on the device's label. If this is not the case, do not connect the system
to the power line until you adjust the device to match the power source. In
U.S.A., if the installation of this equipment will use 240V rather than 120V, the
source must be a center-tapped, 240V, single-phase circuit. This equipment is
suitable for connection to public mains as defined in CISPR 11.
