Safety instructions
Warnings
Only use the electrosurgical unit until the self-test has been
performed correctly (see User Manual).
Position the electrosurgical unit safely; do not place it on top
of electrical equipment.
Do not place any objects (e.g. tools) on the electrosurgical
unit.
Avoid harmful interference effects by placing the electrosurgi-
cal unit as far away as possible from other electrical equip-
ment.
Take suitable safety precautions before working on the elec-
trosurgical unit, use isolating transformers, insulated tools and
materials.
Connect the accessories only to the sockets specified.
Set the activation signal volume so it is loud enough to be
heard.
DANGER
Since the unit's components are not insulated against con-
tact with foreign objects, there is high risk of electric shock
with potentially fatal consequences!
Work must only be carried out by qualified or authorised per-
sonnel.
Switch off the electrosurgical unit and pull out the plug at least
5 minutes before commencing any service work.

The power rectifier is connected via the power switch to the power
input socket with integral mains filter. The power rectifier converts
the mains voltage (AC) into two DC voltages (±160 V) for the
switch-mode power supply. The supply voltage can be set be-
tween 115 V and 230 V via a voltage selector switch (see table
below).
NOTE
Incorrect mains fuse rating may damage the unit!
When adjusting or changing over the voltage range, make
sure that the correct rating for the mains fuse in the mains fil-
ter is used.
JP1 JP2
CAUTION
Risk of injury due to electric shock!
The electrosurgical unit must be switched off before connect-
ing the measuring lead.
Set a suitable voltage range on the measuring device.

The arc sensor converts the measured values of the arc intensity
into a pulse-width modulated (PWM) signal. The PWM signals are
then isolated and sent via three optical couplers to the control
board. These PWM signals can be measured at test points TP182
and TP183.
The DC/DC converter (EPC103) supplies the arc sensor with the
necessary voltage (+/- 5 V).
Monopolar:
Two redundant current sensors are connected in series in the feed
and return line respectively, and outgoing leakage currents can
thus be measured by comparing the two values measured.
The two redundant voltage sensors are connected in parallel and
must as a rule deliver two identical measured values.
Figure 3-12:
Current & voltage sensors
Bipolar:
Two redundant current sensors are connected in series in the feed
and return line respectively, and outgoing leakage currents can
thus be measured by comparing the two values measured.
The voltage and arc sensors are switched by the monopolar sen-
sors.

Electrical tests
The TSI test record can be found in Section 12, on page 118.
The TSI test instructions can be found in Section 11, on page
91.
If the results deviate from the values shown in the test record or
are outside the stated maximum values, the electrosurgical unit
must be calibrated and the technical safety inspection carried out
once again. If this does not remedy the situation, contact the
Technical Service at BOWA-electronic GmbH & Co. KG.
