Suspension systems
Note:
After switching on, the suspension system automatically performs a self-
test which takes approx. five seconds.
The suspension system is equipped either with a halogen illumination
system, a Superlux Eye illumination system or with a Superlux Eye illumi-
nation system with additional, integrated halogen illumination (option).
Lamp brightness (halogen, xenon)
•
Check that the lamp brightness display shows the minimum level (0.1)
after power-on of the system.
•
Change the lamp brightness across the entire control range, and
check that brightness variation has an effect on the surgical field illu-
mination (bright/dark).
Halogen illumination
–
The halogen illumination has been switched on and the green indica-
tor lamp(s) is (are) lit.
–
The halogen lamps including the backup lamps are intact, i.e. the yel-
low indicator lamp(s) is (are) not lit.
Superlux Eye illumination
–
A beep sounds after power-on of the system, and stops when the xe-
non lamp has ignited correctly and if no other error has occurred.
–
If the beep does not stop, the system must not be used.
–
The xenon illumination is on and the green indicator lamp is lit.
Note:
If the first lamp has failed and the backup lamp is in use (red segment
in the switching knob lights up), make sure to have a backup lamp
module ready at hand as a precaution.
Warning!
The xenon lamp has a limited service life of 500 h.
If used beyond its maximum service life, the xenon lamp may explode.
Change the xenon lamp in good time.
Please note the following guidelines - example:
–
If operated for 4 hours/day on 5 days/week, the lamp needs to be ex-
changed after 25 weeks maximum.
