9.1 Connection requirements
9.1.1 Environment
The following considerations need to be taken into account for the
operating environment:
– No splash water area
– Ceilings, walls, floors: smooth, liquid-tight, scrub-resistant, suitable
for wet disinfection
– Ensure adequate load-carrying capacity of the floors
– Heat emission of each device (dialysis operating mode: approx.
550 W at 20 °C room temperature)
– Space requirements of each device approx. 1 m
2
– Emergency lighting (for at least 1 hour in case of power failure)
– Distances to areas such as MRI scanner rooms
9.1.2 Power supply network
Power supply network requirements:
– The requirements specified by IEC 60364-7-710 for Group 1 rooms
must be met.
– Power failures < 20 ms
– An earthing system must be installed as prescribed.
– A power socket with a protective earth conductor connection is
required.
– The line cross-section and the line lengths to the wall outlet must
ensure that the voltage tolerance and the function of the protective
devices is always guaranteed. Recommended line cross-section to
the power socket: at least 3 x 1.5 mm
2
copper core for 220 V–240 V
and at least 3 x 2.5 mm
2
copper core for voltages of less than 220 V.
– Each electric circuit is protected from damage through fault
conditions with an automatic, fast-acting circuit-breaker
(recommendation: 16 A for 220 V–240 V and 20 A for voltages of
less than 220 V).
– No more than 1 device per wall outlet and electric circuit.
– The use of multiway sockets or extension cables is prohibited.
– Residual-current devices (RCDs) which protect against dangerous
shock currents in the event of fault conditions. One residual-current
device (RCD less than 30 mA) for each device or electric circuit.
– Overvoltage / lightning protection in the main and emergency power
supply networks.
– A connecting bolt must be available for an additional equipotential
bonding conductor.
