SITE PREPARATION REQUIREMENTS

The MedVue Model MV1 Medical Weight Analyzer is a precision weight indicating instrument.
As with any precision instrument, it requires an acceptable environment to operate at peak
performance and reliability. This section is provided to assist you in obtaining such an
environment.
Environmental
The MedVue Model MV1 Medical Weight Analyzer meets or exceeds all certification
requirements within a temperature range of 14 to 104 °F (-10 to +40 °C).
In order to keep cooling requirements to a minimum, the MV1 should be placed out of direct
sunlight and to provide adequate air circulation, keep the area around the MV1 clear.
Do not place the MV1 directly in front of a heating or cooling vent. Such a location will
subject it to sudden temperature changes, which may result in unstable weight readings.
Make sure the MV1 has good, clean AC power and is properly grounded. In areas subject to
lightning strikes, additional protection to minimize lightning damage, such as surge
suppressors, should be installed.
Electrical Power
The MedVue Model MV1 Medical Weight Analyzer has been designed to operate from a
110 to 240 VAC 50/60Hz 12 VDC 1.25A wall plug-in UL/CSA listed AC power adapter. Note
that a special order is not required for operation at 240 VAC.
The socket-outlet supplying power to the MV1 should be on a separate circuit from the
distribution panel and dedicated to the exclusive use of the MV1.
The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
The wiring should conform to national and local electrical codes and ordinances and
should be approved by the local inspector to assure compliance.
On installations requiring 240 VAC power, it is the responsibility of the customer to
have a qualified electrician install the proper power adapter plug that conforms to
national electrical codes and local codes and ordinances.
