Installation & Operation
This section contains initial installation, prelimi-
nary checks and operating instructions for the
Sabre 2400.

2.1 INITIAL INSPECTION

Unpack the unit upon receipt and physically
inspect it for any obvious damage that may have
occurred during shipment. We recommend that
this inspection be performed by a qualified bio-
medical engineer or other person thoroughly
familiar with electrosurgical devices. If the unit is
found to be damaged, notify the carrier and your
CONMED representative immediately.

2.2 INSTALLATION

The unit may be mounted on the CONMED
cart, P/N 60-5201-004, or any stable cart or
table.

CAUTION: Since the unit depends on natural
convection of air for cooling, it should not be
installed in a cabinet or similar enclosure. If
mounted on a shelf, or otherwise near a wall,
allow a two inch clearance around the unit to
permit free circulation of air at the sides of the
unit.

2.3 PRELIMINARY CHECKS

2.3.1 Preliminary Functional Testing

The following checks are recommended upon
initial installation of the equipment and prior to
each use of the instrument to avoid unnecessary
delays in surgery. See Figure 2.1 for location of
controls and connectors.
1. Ensure that the Power Switch is OFF and no
accessories are connected.
2. Connect the power cable to a properly ground-
ed and polarized mating power receptacle.
3. Connect a two-treadle monopolar foot switch
and a single treadle bipolar foot switch to their
mating connectors at the rear of the unit.
4. Make no connection to the Return Electrode
jacks at this time.
5. Set the Power Switch to the ON position. The
green lamp in the power switch shall illuminate.
Within one second, the machine should respond
by:
a) Sounding each of the four tones in ascending
order over a one second interval.
b) During that interval, displaying a total of nine
"8"s on the four digital displays.
c) Illuminating all three mode indicators, all nine
selection indicators, the Return Monitor, and all
of the Resistance Indicator bars.
