The unit is equipped with a Neutral Electrode Safety System (NESSY), which monitors the neutral electrode (neutral electrode), warns of critical situations, and thus prevents burns. How effective the monitoring is depends on whether you choose a single sur- face or dual surface neutral electrode and on the NESSY setting.

  • Page 28: Electrode

    3 • Safety Features A check of the connecting cable can be performed before use as follows: • Switch on the Unit. Set the NESSY setting to "NE: either way". Connect the cable to the neutral electrode socket. • If the connecting cable or the clip of a reusable cable do not have shorts the dis- play of the dual surface (1) and the display of the single surface (2) will light up red.
