Connecting the Ultrasound Unit to the Electrical Outlet

To help assure grounding reliability, connect to a hospital-grade or "hospital only" grounded

power outlet. If using the ultrasound unit with an external UPS system, follow all the grounding

and applicable safety standards as documented both in this manual and the external UPS

manufacturer's manual. The external UPS system is to be considered the AC outlet.

1) Verify that the AC wall outlet is of the appropriate type.

2) Turn off the AC circuit breaker at the rear of the unit.

3) Plug the power cord connector into the AC input socket, and secure it in place using the attached

Mains Power Cable

4) Plug the other end of the power cord to the AC wall outlet. Allow sufficient slack so that the plug will

not be pulled out if the unit is slightly moved. The remaining length of the cord should be looped

and hung on the hook provided.

DANGER: To avoid the risk of fire, power to the system must be supplied from a separate,

properly rated outlet. It is recommended to use a dedicated power outlet. The power plug should

not, under any circumstances, be altered to a configuration rated less than that specified for the

current. DO NOT use an extension cord or adaptor plug. Refer to

page 2 - 3 for more details.
