Connecting To An Ac Power Source - Nellcor OXIMAX N-600X Series Service Manual

Setting Up the Oximeter
WARNING
In the USA, do not connect the pulse oximeter to an electrical outlet controlled by a
wall switch, since this increases the risk of removal of AC power to the pulse oximeter.
WARNING
Use only Nellcor-approved OxiMax pulse oximetry sensors and pulse oximetry cables
when connecting to the OxiMax sensor connector. Connecting any other cable or
sensor influences accuracy of sensor data, which may lead to adverse results.
WARNING
Use only the Nellcor DOC-10 pulse oximetry cable with the OxiMax N-600x pulse
oximeter. Use of another pulse oximetry cable will have an adverse effect on
performance. Do not attach any cable that is intended for computer use to the OxiMax
N-600x pulse oximeter sensor port.
WARNING
The OxiMax N-600x pulse oximeter should not be used adjacent to or stacked with
other equipment. If adjacent or stacked use is necessary, observe the oximeter to
verify normal operation in the desired configuration.
Note:
The OxiMax N-600x™ pulse oximeter incorporates watchdog timers which reset the oximeter
in the event of software errors.

Connecting to an AC Power Source

the outlet and use battery power. Contact a qualified electrician to examine the outlet for
ground connections.
