3-6-1 Connecting the Unit to a Power Source
The connection of the Voluson™ P8/Voluson™P6 ultrasound unit to a power source should be
performed by a qualified person who has completed basic Voluson™ P8/Voluson™P6 System User
Training. Use only the power cords, cables and plugs provided by or designated by Voluson™ P8/
Voluson™P6 to connect the unit to the power source.
!! CAUTION:
Prior to connect the Voluson™ P8/Voluson™P6 unit to a power source, verify compliance with
all electrical and safety requirements. Check the power cord to verify that it is intact and of
hospital-grade. Products equipped with a power source (wall outlet) plug should be connected
to the fixed power socket that has a protective grounding conductor. Never use an adapter or
converter to connect with a power source plug (for example, a three-prong to two-prong
converter).
!! WARNING:
The unit’s power must be supplied from a separate, properly rated outlet to avoid risk
of fire. Refer to Section 2-2-2-1 "Voluson™ P8 / Voluson™P6 Power Requirements" on
page 2-3 for rating information. The power cord should not, under any circumstances,
be altered to a configuration rated less than that specified for the current.
!! CAUTION:
Whenever disconnecting the Voluson™ P8/Voluson™P6 system from the electrical outlet,
always observe the safety precautions. First unplug the main power cable from the wall outlet
socket, then from the unit itself. Remove by pulling on the cable connector - DO NOT pull on the
cable.
!! CAUTION:
The Voluson™ P8/Voluson™P6 requires all covers!
Operate this system only when all board covers and frame panels are securely in place.
The covers are required for safe operation, good system performance and cooling purposes.
