1 • Safety information CHAPTER 1 Safety information Classification of the safety information DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury. CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.
Connect the unit to a properly installed grounded power outlet. Only connect the unit using an Erbe power cord (see the user manual for REF numbers). Alternatively: power ca- bles with a length of no more than 5 m can be used in accordance with country/region requirements, e.g.

5 • Circuit Descriptions Description of the various assemblies Line input The VIO system can be operated with a line voltage of either 220 – 240 V or 100 – 120 V. For this the corresponding value (230 V for a line voltage of 220 –...
5 • Circuit Descriptions Power supply (high-voltage power supply unit) The high-voltage power supply unit provides the HF generator with a DC voltage which may reach 450 V. It depends on the surgical effect selected and the alternating voltage necessary for this. The line input voltage is directly rectified using a bridge-connected recti- fier.
5 • Circuit Descriptions HF generator II The high-frequency generator consists of the "HF generator II" circuit board with the power components, and the programmable logic device (CPLD), which is responsible for transistor control but is located on the "CPU+Sensors II" circuit board. The VIO system is only equipped with one generator module.
5 • Circuit Descriptions CPU + Sensors II The "CPU + Sensors II" circuit board includes the processor controlling all the hardware assemblies in the HF unit, and with the software assemblies ensures the necessary exchange of data. All relevant sensors are also ac- commodated here.
It operates the color display as well as the buttons and dis- plays on the front of the unit. It is the master unit for the Erbe Communi- cation Bus (ECB). The control panel is used to log on all the assemblies, e.g.
– Multifunction (MF) – – 1. Only relevant for VIO 300 D or in conjunction with a VIO 300 D. Instrument recognition The instrument recognition can identify instruments coded by resistance and read instruments equipped with an electronic memory, transmitting (only relevant for the relevant data to the system.
5 • Circuit Descriptions NESSY2 II The NESSY2 II assembly measures the electrical resistance between the two connections to the patient plate. In addition, the currents in both con- necting lines are measured. The measured values are transmitted to the "CPU + Sensors II" via an elec- tronically insulated asynchronous serial interface.
