Installation Information

If the computer and display module of the M1165/66/75/76A Systems and the Anesthetic Gas Module are set up together, connect the grounding wire to the equipotential grounding terminal on the display.

If the computer and display module of the M1165/66/75/76A Systems and the Anesthetic Gas Module are separated, connect one grounding wire to the display, one to the computer module and one to the Anesthetic Gas Module.

Equipotential Protection class 1 instruments are already included in the protective Grounding grounding (protective earth) system of the room by way of grounding contacts in the power plug. For internal examinations on the heart or

the brain, Computer Module and Display Module of the system and the Anesthetic Gas Module must have separate connections to the equipotential grounding system.

One end of the equipotential grounding cable (potential equalization conductor) is connected to the equipotential grounding terminal on the instrument´s rear panel and the other end to one point of the equipotential grounding system. The equipotential grounding system assumes the safety function of the protective grounding conductor if ever there is a break in the protective grounding system.

To protect the patient and hospital personnel, the cabinet of the installed equipment has to be grounded. The equipment is supplied with a detachable 3-wire cable which grounds the instrument to the power line ground (protective earth) when plugged into an appropriate 3-wire receptacle. If a 3-wire receptacle is not available, consult the hospital electrician.
