3.5 Completing the Setup

Connecting the System to a Power Source
Caution
Prior to connect the Voluson E-Series system to a power source, verify compliance with all electrical and
safety requirements. Check the power cord to verify that it is intact and of hospital-grade. Products equipped
with a power source (wall outlet) plug should be connected to the fixed power socket that has a protective
grounding conductor. Never use an adapter or converter to connect with a power source plug (for example, a
three-prong to two-prong converter).
Warning
The system's power must be supplied from a separate, properly rated outlet to avoid risk of fire. Refer to
Section 2.1.2.1 "Voluson Power Requirements Voluson E-Series" on page 2-2
power cord should not, under any circumstances, be altered to a configuration rated less than that specified
for the current.
Use only the power cords, cables and plugs provided by or designated by GE Healthcare Austria GmbH &
Note
Co OG to connect the system to the power source.

precautions. First unplug the main power cable from the wall outlet socket, then from the system itself.
Remove by pulling on the cable connector - Do not pull on the cable.
Caution: The Voluson E-Series requires all covers!
Do not operate this system unless all board covers and frame panels are securely in place, to ensure optimal
system performance and cooling. (When covers are removed, EMI may be present).
