For Your Safety - Atmos Varioair 3 Operating Instructions Manual

2.0 For your safety

• The Varioair 3 is produced according to IEC 601 / EN
60601 and listed in the following classes:
- VDE Class of protection 1
- Class IIa (93/42/EEC).
• The device may only be connected to a properly installed
grounded safety socket.
• The Varioair 3 may only be used under the supervision
of skilled staff who have been authorized by ATMOS and
trained in its operation (IEC 601-1 / EN 60601-1).
• The mains voltage indicated on the type plate must corre-
spond to the values of the supply network.
• Make sure prior to every application of the equipment that
it is technically safe and in proper condition. Damaged
cables must be replaced immediately!
• Correct configuration in assembly of country-specific
connections:
- green/yellow: protective conductor (PE)
- blue: neutral conductor (N)
- black or brown: phase (L)
• The control panel must be clearly visible and accessible
for the user. Ensure sufficient stability of the installation
surface.
• Prior to application, the air temperature must be checked
by the user (display)!
• Switch off the main switch after finishing work in the
practice.
• The Varioair 3 may only be operated in rooms used for
medical purposes, but not in areas subject to explosion
hazards and not in oxygen-rich environments.
• All additional equipment that is connected to the analog
and digital interfaces of the device must meet the require-
ments of relevant EN specifications (e.g., EN 60950 for
data processing equipment and EN 60601 for electrical
medical equipment). In addition, configurations must
satisfy system specification EN 60601-1-1. When addi-
tional equipment is connected to the signal input or signal
output section on the device, the person carrying out the
connection is deemed a "system configuration operator"
and as such is responsible for meeting the requirements
of system specification EN 60601-1-1. If you have any
questions, please contact your local specialist supplier or
ATMOS Technical Service.
• ATMOS is not liable for personal injury and damage to
property if
- no original ATMOS parts are being used,
- the advice for use in these operating instructions is
not being observed,
- assembly, new settings, alterations, extensions, and
repairs have been carried out by personnel not au-
thorized by ATMOS.
• The validity for the certificate of conformity expires if the
customer or a third party manipulates the unit, e.g., by
making modifications of any kind, using non-authorized
accessories, removing warning or information labels as
well as using the unit for inappropriate applications.
• Please note:
A medical isolation transformer with earth leakage
monitor or any similar safety system acc. to EN 60601-
1 is required if several devices are connected over one
common power supply. The transformer must correspond
to the power consumption of all the devices to be con-
nected.
