5. Connecting the Power Cable and
Protective Earth
WARNING:
Connect the power plug to an outlet for medical equipment. By doing this, the
protective earth line is connected.
1. Be sure to connect the power plug to a two-pin (with dual
earth terminal) outlet meeting the ratings indicated on the
rating nameplate. If this type of outlet is not available,
contact your TOSHIBA representative.
2. Information concerning the terminal to which the
potential equalization conductor is to be connected
(
):
To use another medical device in combination with this
system, an equipotential wire for connecting to an
equipotential bus must be supplied. For more
information, contact your TOSHIBA representative.
* Be sure to connect the potential-equalization lead wire
before inserting the equipment power plug into the
receptacle. Also, be sure to remove the equipment
power plug from the receptacle before disconnecting
the wire to avoid electrical shock.
3. Information concerning the functional earth terminal
(
):
Use of the functional earth terminal is not allowed in
Europe. The system should be connected according the
local requirements.
4. Connect the earth conductor only before turning ON the
system. Disconnect the grounding cable only after
turning OFF the system. Otherwise, electric shock may
result.
5. Do not connect this system to outlets with the same
circuit breakers and fuses that control current to devices
such as life-support systems. If this system malfunctions
and generates an overcurrent, or when there is an
instantaneous current at power ON, the circuit breakers
and fuses of the building's supply circuit may be tripped.
