Charging The Battery; Connecting Additional Devices To The Auxiliary Power Sockets - Dräger Perseus A500 Instructions For Use Manual

Charging the battery

The internal batteries are automatically charged by
the mains power supply.
WARNING
Risk of device malfunction
If the batteries are not sufficiently charged, it
may not be possible to maintain operation for
long enough if the mains power supply fails.
Before first operation or after storage, charge
the batteries for at least 8 hours.
WARNING
Risk due to reduced power supply from the
internal battery
Batteries are wear parts. The capacity of the
battery diminishes with the period of use.
Check the functional capability of the battery
by performing regular inspections.
WARNING
Risk of patient injury
If Perseus is operated or connected to the
mains power supply at ambient temperatures
above 35 °C (95 °F), the battery cannot be
charged properly. The power supply out of
the battery may be limited.
Do not expose the device to temperatures
above 35 °C (95 °F) on a permanent basis.
Connecting additional devices to the
auxiliary power sockets
Perseus is equipped with auxiliary power sockets
and circuit breakers or fuses under the column
covering, see page 30.
1 Connect the power cable of the additional
device to an auxiliary power socket.
2 For Perseus with isolation transformer:
Switch on the power for the isolation
transformer and the auxiliary power sockets
using the isolation transformer switch.
Instructions for use Perseus A500 SW 2.0n
Make sure that the maximum power consumption
of additional devices does not exceed permissible
values.
WARNING
Risk of fire
Sources of ignition such as electrosurgical
equipment, laser surgical equipment, sparks,
damaged cables, or damaged plugs can
cause fires in combination with oxygen or
nitrous oxide. As a result, the patient or user
may be at risk.
– Maintain a distance of at least 200 mm
(7.9 in) between electrical connections
and components which conduct oxygen
and nitrous oxide.
– Cables and connections must be
sufficiently insulated and must not be
damaged. Check cables for damage daily.
– Do not allow the device to come into
contact with sources of ignition.
WARNING
Risk of electric shock
The connection of devices to auxiliary power
sockets can lead to an increased leakage
current. If the protective ground of one of
these devices fails, the leakage current may
rise above the permissible values. Only
connect devices with the permission of the
respective manufacturer. Have the leakage
current checked by service personnel.
If the permissible value is exceeded, use a
mains power socket on a wall instead of the
auxiliary power socket of the device.
