Connecting To External Ac Power - Covidien Puritan Bennett 560 User Manual

Installation and Assembly
To reduce the risk of a fire hazard, keep matches, lighted cigarettes, and all other sources of
ignition (such as flammable anesthetics and/or heaters) away from the ventilator and oxygen
hoses.
Never connect your ventilator to an electrical outlet controlled by a wall switch because the
power may be inadvertently turned off.
Even if the "INTERNAL BATTERY" charging indicator is off, charging of the battery may
sometimes be incomplete if the ambient temperature is above 40 °C (104 °F) because of the
battery's internal heat safety device.
The use of any accessory other than those specified, with the exception of the power supplies
or cables sold by Covidien, may lead to an increase in electromagnetic emissions or a decrease in
the equipment protection against electromagnetic emissions. If the ventilator is used adjacent
to such accessories or stacked with such devices, the ventilator's performance should be
monitored to verify normal operation.
The Puritan Bennett™ 560 Ventilatorrequires special precautions for electromagnetic
compatibility and should be installed and started according to the recommendations found in
Appendix
communications equipment using radio frequencies, such as mobile telephones or other
systems exceeding the levels set in the IEC / EN 60601-1-2 standard, may affect its operation.
Refer to section
The ventilator must not use, nor be connected to, any anti-static or electrically conductive
hoses, tubing, or conduits.

Connecting to External AC Power

Any of four power sources: AC power, 12 – 30 VDC power, Internal Battery power, or Auxiliary DC car adapter
(cigarette lighter) can be used to power the ventilator. But when AC power is available, the ventilator will
automatically select AC power as its operating power source.
Warning
The power supply to which the ventilator is connected (both AC and DC) must comply with all
current and applicable standards and provide electrical power corresponding to the voltage
characteristics inscribed on the rear of the ventilator to ensure correct operation.
Ensure that the AC power cable is in perfect condition and not compressed. The device should
not be turned on if the AC power cable is damaged.
Connect the external electrical power source by first connecting the power cable to the
ventilator and then to the external power source. Follow the reverse procedure to disconnect
the device from electrical power sources.
Do not leave power cables lying on the ground where they may pose a hazard.
To prevent accidental disconnection of the AC power cable, use the power cable holder
