 Electrical Power Requirements

Section 1: Electrical Power Requirements

AC Power Quality
The VITROS 3600 Immunodiagnostic System (hereafter referred to as the System) is designed to perform
satisfactorily with reasonable disturbances and voltage tolerance to the ac power. The quality and reliability of the
power source is often dependent on the geographic location of the site. Some sites, where power quality is
exceptionally poor, may require special power conditioning equipment to ensure that the tolerances are maintained
within acceptable limits. Some models of UNINTERRUPTIBLE POWER SUPPLIES (UPS) are recommended as
optional equipment for use with VITROS Systems, and may be purchased from the Distribution Center. See the UPS
service publication for additional information.

Static Electricity
The System should be adequately grounded to prevent the effects of static charges generated. Static problems can
also be reduced by ensuring that the relative humidity of the room is maintained above 30 percent. Special anti-static
floor pads can be purchased and positioned where the operator is required to make contact with the instrument.

Electromagnetic Interference
Several types of electrical interference may be indigenous to the site location and may require special filtering to
prevent malfunctions in the System. If interference is suspected to be a problem, shielding may be required, or
filtering of the ac line power to the site may be necessary.

Cellular phones, two-way pagers, and other RF transmitting devices should not be used within 1 m of the 3600
System.
