1132.03 2.3.1. IR system code An IR remote control is clearly assigned to each operating table through a code. The operating table has the same system code as the associated IR remote control. The operating table and IR remote control may only be encoded by authorised personnel. The operating table and the associated IR remote control are marked by adhesive labels bearing the set system code: • The adhesive labels are affixed to the operating table column next to the IR remote control. • The adhesive labels are affixed to the back of the IR remote control. The two dot-shaped adhesive labels bear a number from 0 bis 9 and a letter from A bis F: • left: 0,1,2,...,A,B,...,F • right: 0,1,2,...,A,B,...,F
Examples of preset system codes Markings:
Marking
1 3 C D
5 A 2 A
è
Note The order of the ID letters/numbers is significant, i.e. the IR system code 4 B does not equal B 4.
è
Note Always leave the IR remote control in the immediate vicinity of the operating table to which it is assigned, since the operating table can only be moved via this IR remote control. Of course, the operating table can be moved via a connected cable-connected hand control or the override system at any time, regardless of the IR remote control.

IV.
Operating the operating table
1. General To ensure safe operation of the operating table, several fundamental principles should be observed. Check the electrical conductivity of the operating table once a year. This check should only be performed by trained servicing personnel. è
Note Attach the operating table to the equipotential bonding in the operating room while the operation is in progress (see DIN VDE 0107). For this purpose, connect the equipotential bonding pin to an equipotential bonding of the operating room in the immediate vicinity of the patient. An equalization cable (5 m long) with connectors at both ends is included in the scope of supply of the operating table.
2. Operation on battery power When the operating table and mobile column run on the integrated batteries and not on mains power, it complies with the regulations for anaesthesia equipment testing (category AP). The equipment may be used in Zone M explosion-hazard zones. Battery operation of the operating table is always preferable to operation on mains power.
Potential equalization line
The capacity of the fully charged batteries provides at least 1 week’s use of the operating table, depending on how often you make adjustments. If the charge level of the batteries drops below a minimum permissible value, this is indicated by the flashing red LED on the cable-connected hand control and at the operating table status indication LED when the operating table is switched on. è
Note The operating table switches off automatically when the battery charge level drops below 10%.
Recharging the batteries Discharged batteries will again be 90% recharged after approx. 5 hours of charging and 100% recharged after approx. 10 hours. The batteries are automatically recharged as soon as you connect the operating table to the power supply by plugging in the mains cable. There is no explosion protection during the battery charging cycle.
GA113203GB03
19
1132.03 To connect and disconnect the mains power cord, follow this procedure: • Prior to connecting the charging cable, first of all connect the operating table and plug the cable into the socket. • Prior to disconnecting the charging cable, first of all pull the plug out of the socket and then disconnect the cable from the operating table. è
Note We recommend you to recharge the batteries overnight, but at least every 2 days, even if “low charge level” of the rechargeable batteries has not been indicated yet.
