Safety information

Classification of the safety information


WARNING! The WARNING! safety indication refers to a risk of personal injury.

CAUTION! The CAUTION! safety indication refers to a risk of damage to property.

ATTENTION! The ATTENTION! safety indication refers to a risk which can cause
equipment to become unserviceable.

IMPORTANT! The IMPORTANT! designation indicates application information and


other particularly important information.

Knowledge of the User Manual


The User Manual for this unit constitutes an integral part of this Service
80116-918 

Manual. For performing servicing activities it is assumed that the reader


has knowledge of the User Manual, especially procedures for installation,
10.15

putting into operation, and handling.

Protection from the risk of electric shock


WARNING! The supply voltage must match the voltage specified on the rating
plate. Connect the unit / the equipment cart to a properly installed
grounded outlet. Only use the Erbe power cord or an equivalent power
cord for this purpose. The power cord must bear the national test sym-
bol.

For safety reasons, multiple outlets and extension cords should not be
used. If their use is unavoidable, they also must be provided with proper
grounding.

WARNING! Unplug the power cord from the outlet before exchanging parts of the
unit or cleaning it.

WARNING! Do not plug a wet power cord into the unit or into an outlet.

1 • Safety information

WARNING! Do not touch any unprotected wires or conductive surfaces while the
unit is opened and under voltage.

WARNING! Blown line fuses may only be replaced by a competent technician. Only
replacement fuses of the rating specified on the unit's name plate may
be used. Before resuming operation the unit must be subjected to a
performance test by a competent technician.

Electrostatically sensitive components


CAUTION! This unit contains electrostatically sensitive components. Work at an
anti-static workplace while repairing the unit. Wear a grounding arm-
band while working with electrostatically sensitive components. Hold
the circuit boards by their non-conducting corners. Use an anti-static
container for transporting electrostatically sensitive components and
the circuit boards.

Liability and warranty


ATTENTION! Adjustments, tests, modifications, maintenance and repair work may
only be performed by Erbe or persons trained by Erbe. If the work is not
performed by trained persons, Erbe accepts no liability and warranty
rights become void.

80116-918 
10.15
It is recommended that the technical safety check also be performed by
Erbe or persons trained by Erbe.

ATTENTION! Only use original Erbe spare parts. The manufacturer accepts no liability
and the warranty rights becomes void if original spare parts are not
used.

CHAPTER 2
Unit description

Unit variants

How do the unit variants differ There are VIO S units in different unit variants. Each unit variant has modes
from one another? assigned permanently to it.
In the VIO 300 S the unit variant 1 (= basic variant) contains all modes ap-
proved for this unit. These modes are described in the User Manual of the
unit. All other unit variants contain less modes than the basic variant. A list
of all unit variants for the VIO 300 S can be requested from Erbe Tübingen.
Currently only unit variant 1 is available in the VIO 200 S. The modes of this
variant are described in the User Manual of the unit.

How do I determine the unit When the VIO S is switched on, the following information about the unit
variant? software appears on the start screen:
• Software status (e.g. 2.0.x)
• Upgrades (e.g. EndoCut I)
• Unit variant (e.g. Variation 2)
80116-918 

The VIO 200 S is an exception. Since at the time of printing only unit variant
10.15

1 is available, no statement about the unit variant is made on the start


screen.

CHAPTER 6
Maintenance and servicing

Who is allowed to perform servicing and maintenance


work?
ATTENTION! Adjustments, tests, modifications, maintenance and repair work may
only be performed by Erbe or persons trained by Erbe. If the work is not
performed by trained persons, Erbe accepts no liability and warranty
rights become void.

It is recommended that the technical safety check also be performed by


Erbe or persons trained by Erbe.

What is a technical safety check?


IMPORTANT! The technical safety check is a preventive measure to examine whether
the device is safe and ready for operation. In order to perform the vari-
ous tests the current specifications and regulations of the particular
country and the instructions in this service manual must be observed.
80116-918 
10.15

How often does a technical safety check have to be


performed?
IMPORTANT! Erbe recommends performing a technical safety check after every
repair, but at least once a year.

39 / 64
6 • Maintenance and servicing

Technical safety check – step by step


For simplification the device to be tested is referred to below as the "test
specimen".

Safety information
WARNING! For safety reasons (personnel protection) the test specimen should
generally be operated by a suitable isolating transformer. 
An exceptional case is the tests for grounded conductor resistance,
ground leakage current, and patient leakage current, in which the test
specimen is supplied with current via the safety tester.

ATTENTION! In the event of a fault occurring in the test specimen or individual com-
ponents during the technical safety check the test steps taken so far no
longer apply. 
Remedy the defect and repeat the technical safety check from the
beginning.

ATTENTION! The specifications made in this chapter for test programs / test pro-
gram settings allow the service technician to perform the technical
safety check. In addition, the test program mode provides a number of
diagnostic and inspection options for the service technician. They are
described in the repair manual. Erbe Elektromedizin expressly states
that the full functional range of the test program mode may not be
used without precise knowledge of the individual test programs.

80116-918 
10.15
IMPORTANT! It is assumed that the user knows how to operate the test specimen,
the test equipment, the measuring equipment, and auxiliary test equip-
ment. The test instructions only apply in conjunction with the relevant
test steps.

IMPORTANT! Test equipment, measuring equipment, and auxiliary test equipment


(cables, test boxes, etc.) are listed separately at the beginning of each
test unit. Where Erbe article numbers are specified, only original Erbe
test equipment, measuring equipment, and auxiliary test equipment
may be used.

IMPORTANT! The test report for the technical safety check can be requested from
Erbe Technical Service Tübingen. For the address see address sheet on
last page.

on the test specimen. When doing so the measured value displayed
on the safety tester must drop significantly from >200 MOhm.
4. Determine insulation resistance using the safety tester. The measured
value must be >2 MOhm.
5. Document the measured value.
