Preparing for use
Power supply and connections
Power supply and connections
Electrical power supply
Either : 220 V to 240 V
or : 100 V to 127 V
● Insert the plug in the mains socket, the yellow indicator
lights up.
For operation with DC power supply and external battery
(optional)
● Connect optional external battery via cable, see "DC power
operation", page 170.
Note on the use of a socket strip for ancillary equipment
Connecting other equipment to the extension socket strip may
cause the patient leakage current to rise above the permitted
values if a protective earth conductor should fail. The risk of
electric shock cannot be excluded in such cases.
Temporary interruption of power supply
e.g. if hospital reserve power supply is activated.
Without optional Evita DC power supply:
During an interruption of the power supply, EvitaXL outputs a
continuous alarm tone for max. 2 minutes. The duration of this
alarm tone may be shorter if EvitaXL was switched on for less
than 15 minutes.
EvitaXL tolerates power interrupts lasting less than
10 milliseconds – without influencing ventilation.
In the case of power interrupts lasting longer than
10 milliseconds, the machine restarts with a short self-test lasting
about 8 seconds – ventilation is continued with the same
values that were set before the power interruption. If a lower
alarm limit has been set for the minute volume, the »MV low !!!«
alarm is activated until the measured value has risen above the
lower alarm limit.
With optional Evita DC power supply:
See chapter "DC power operation", page 170.
Other equipment, e.g. printers, may only be connected to
the COM port if EvitaXL is connected to the mains power
supply via a mains power cable or if it has been earthed
via the earth connection on the back of EvitaXL.
Electric power may pose a hazard in all other cases.
