AC POWER CABLE (AS REQUESTED)
PROTECTIVE PACKAGING
Connect the unit to the AC power supply for 24 hours to ensure that the internal battery is fully
charged.
Should the pump fail to perform correctly, replace it in its original protective packaging and contact
a qualified service engineer for investigation.
Pole Clamp
The pole clamp is supplied fitted to the rear of the unit and will provide secure fixing to standard
I.V. poles of a diameter of up to 40mm.
The pole clamp can also be fitted in a choice of 4 fixing positions allowing the unit to be mounted
to vertical and horizontal poles, equipment rails and hospital furniture in a variety of convenient
operating orientations.
The pole clamp may be adjusted for use with horizontal fittings by using the existing fixings screws
with the alternative fixing holes in the pole clamp.
The pole clamp may be also secured to the base of the unit in a choice of four positions.
An optional adjustable pole clamp is available, part number 6001FAOPT0H.
Do not mount the unit with the AC power inlet or the syringe pointing upwards. This
could affect the electrical safety in the event of a fluid spill or lead to the infusion of air
which may be in the syringe.
Replacing the AC Fuses
If the pump continually illuminates the battery symbol and the AC power indicator light does not
illuminate when the pump is connected to the AC power supply and switched ON, suspect that
either, the power supply fuse in the AC power plug, or, the internal AC fuses have blown.
First check the power supply fuse in the AC mains plug. If the AC power indicator light does not
illuminate remove the pump from service.
It is recommended that only a qualified service engineer replaces the AC fuses. For further
information regarding the replacement of the internal AC fuses refer to the technical service
manual.
Functional Earth
It should be noted that the PSU fitted to this pump is functionally earthed. The functional earth
feature has been designed to prevent electrical interference to other medical or electrical
equipment.
The AC power supply applied to this pump must have an earth conductor.
This provides a functional earth, not a protective earth.
