SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
SAFETY CHECKS
Periods: According to the recommendations of the manufacturer of the medical devices.
Scope: a) Visual inspection
Housing, leads, controls, displays, labels/markings, accessories, operation manual.
b) Functionality test
Testing of functions (according to operation manual) as well as compatibility and usability of devices and
accessories.
c) Electrical test
Testing of electrical safety of the system according to EN60601-1.
High humidity or dust
Avoid locations with high humidity and dust in order to avoid malfunctioning of the device.
Also avoid locations subject to corrosive gasses and smoke.
Heat
Direct sunlight, heaters or other heat sources may deform the housing and subsequently cause malfunctioning.
INSTALLATION LOCATIONS
MAINTAIN GOOD VENTILATION
Ventilation slots and holes are provided on this unit. Place the unit on a hard and level surface and locate at least 10 cm from
walls to insure proper ventilation. When putting the unit on the system rack, take a space between the unit and the back of the
rack.
UNSUITABLE LOCATIONS
Avoid shaky places or hot-springs areas where hydrogen sulfide and acidic ions are likely to be generated.
PLACES WITH HIGH HUMIDITY AND DUST
Do not place the unit locations with high humidity and dust. They can cause extensive damage. Avoid places where unit is
likely to be exposed to oily fumes and vapours.
PLACES NOT LIKELY TO BE EXTREMELY HOT
Places exposed to direct sunlight, or near heating appliances can attain extremely high temperatures, which may deform the
cabinet, or can become a prime cause of damage.
PLACE THE UNIT ON A HORIZONTAL LEVEL
The unit is likely to be affected if it is placed in slanted conditions or in unstable places.
PROTECT AGAINST DEW FORMATION
In extremely cold regions, if the unit is moved quickly from an extremely cold place to warmer one, dew is likely to be formed.
If dew is formed, printing is not possible.
OPERATING AMBIENT TEMPERATURE RANGE
The operating ambient temperature range is 41°F - 104°F (5°C to 40°C), and humidity of 20 - 80%. When using the unit on the
system rack, be sure to keep this ambient temperature inside the rack.
FOR LONG OPERATING LIFE
UNSUITABLE MATERIALS FOR THE COLOUR VIDEO COPY PROCESSOR
Coat flaking and deformation are likely to occur if the unit is wiped with chemical dusters, benzine, thinner or any other solvent, if
rubber or PVC items are left in contact with the unit for extended duration, or if the unit is sprayed with insecticide.
CARE OF THE CABINET
Unplug and clean with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild soap and water solution. Allow to dry completely before
operating. Never use petroleum base solutions or abrasive cleaners.
HEAD ABRASION
The thermal head, like the video head, wears out. When it is abraded, it becomes hard to print out fine details of the picture. In
such a case, it is necessary to replace the thermal head. Consult with the sales dealer for replacing the head.
CONNECTING DEVICES
Read thoroughly “Operating Precautions” of the instruction booklets for the devices connected with the Colour Video Copy
Processor.
The power cord must be disconnected after printing is over.
CAUTION ON RELOCATING
When transporting this unit, make sure it is not likely to be subjected to impacts. They can be a prime cause for damage.
Further, make sure to disconnect the power cord from the power outlet, and the cables from the connected devices.
