AMC‑15

IMPORTANT

When running the AMC-15 unit at 50Hz, expect approximately 17% 

less vacuum and pressure volume due to slower turning of the com-

pressor.

NOTE

With regard to setting the handpieces pressure, ‘kg/cm2’ and ‘bar’ 

are equivalent.
This device was tested to the parameters for Electromagnetic Emis-

sion and Immunity as stated in IEC 60601-1-2:2007 and is within 

those parameter limits.  These requirements provide reasonable 

protection against harmful electromagnetic interference in a typ-

ical medical installation.  However, high levels of radio-frequency 

(RF) emissions from electrical devices, such as cellular phones, may 

disrupt the performance of this device.  To mitigate disruptive elec-

tromagnetic interference, position this device away from RF trans-

mitters and other sources of electromagnetic energy.
