Preparing the Generator for Use
The electrosurgical generator may be placed on a mounting cart available
from Valleylab or any sturdy table or platform. It is recommended that
carts have conductive wheels. Refer to hospital procedures or local codes
for detailed information.
Provide at least four to six inches of space around the sides and top of the
generator for convection cooling. Under continuous use for extended
periods of time, it is normal for the top and rear panel to be warm.
Power Requirements
The Force 2-2 PCH Electrosurgical Generator is designed to operate at
110-120 Vac nominal, 50-60 Hz.
The Force 2-8 PCH Electrosurgical Generator is designed to operate at
220-240 Vac nominal, 50-60 Hz.
Check the Power Connector
The Force 2 generator is supplied with a hospital grade power cord and a
three-prong power connector. If using the generator in an operating room
with another type of receptacle,
• International Only – The Valleylab representative in your country will
equip your generator with the proper power cord for your country.
• Domestic Only – The hospital is responsible for replacing the
connector on the power cord.
The power connector meets all requirements for safe grounding. Its
purpose should not be defeated by using extension cords or three-prong
to two-prong adapters. Periodically check the power cord assembly for
damaged insulation or connectors. Always grasp cords by the connector.
Do not pull on the cord itself.
Danger
Explosion Hazard
Do not install the Force 2 generator in the presence of
