1.3.1 General Warnings

!

1. This equipment is designed for use by medical professionals completely familiar with the required techniques and instructions for use of the equipment. Prior to using the device, read and follow all warning and precautionary notices and instructions marked on the product and included in this manual. 2. Do not modify and do not open or attempt to service the battery charger or battery, as this may void the warranty. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Removing the cover may introduce an electric shock hazard or other risks. If the system malfunctions, return it for service. 3. Do not insert objects into battery charger for risk of electric shock. 4. Do not use the battery charger in the presence of flammable anesthetics, gases, disinfecting agents, cleaning solutions, or any material susceptible to ignition due to electrical sparking. 5. Battery charger is not shipped sterile and should not be sterilized. Placing sterile batteries on battery charger will render them non-sterile. Charge batteries before sterilizing. Do not use the battery charger near the sterile field. Cross-contamination may occur. 6. Use only CONMED approved equipment, attachments and accessories. They have been tested and certified to specific medical standards. Using unapproved accessories may result in improper operation, may negatively affect EMC performance and may result in non-compliance to medical standards. 7. This system may cause radio interference or may disrupt the operation of nearby equipment. Avoid stacking equipment. It may be necessary to take mitigation measures, such as re-orienting or relocating the Battery Charger or shielding the location. Use of this equipment near RF shielded rooms for magnetic resonance imaging shall be excluded. 8. Improper fuse size in the charger could result in fire. Replace only with time delay fuses as marked on the charger or listed in section “3.5.1 Hall Lithium Battery Charger (L3000)” in the Technical Specifications section. 9. Do not expose the battery charger to moisture, operate in wet areas, or place liquids on or above the unit. Do not immerse for risk of electric shock. NOTE: Receipt of technical documentation from the manufacturer does not authorize individuals to perform repairs, adjustments, or alterations to the charger or accessories. Only authorized service personal may perform repairs, adjustments or alterations on the charger and accessories. Any violation will void the manufacturer's warranty. Authorized service technicians are trained and certified only by the manufacturer.

1.3.2 Installation Warnings 1. Equipment grounding is vital to ensure safe operation. Plug the power cord of the battery charger into a properly earthed mains supply outlet whose voltage and frequency characteristics are compatible with those listed on the unit or in this manual. Do not use plug adapters or extension cords; such devices defeat the safety ground and could cause injury.

2.0 BATTERY CHARGER INSTALLATION 2.1 Charger Mounting Options The Hall Lithium Battery Charger (L3000) can be set on a table top or wall mounted. When installing the battery charger on drywall, screw into studs not wallboard. When installing into solid masonry or brick, use suitable wall plugs and screws. Walls may contain hidden wiring, gas lines or fluid piping. Assure none of these are present before drilling or screwing. NOTE: Leave 4 inches between chargers.

For Table Top Mounting: 1. Plug the power cord into the mains receptacle on the bottom of the charger and a properly earthed mains supply outlet.

2. Measure the length of the power cord to ensure correct distance from wall plug to battery charger. 3. Use the cord wrap on the bottom of the charger to eliminate any excess power cord. To avoid tripping hazard, ensure the cord is not too tight or too loose. For Wall Mounting: 1. Determine the best wall location for mounting the battery charger. Choose a location close to an electrical outlet. 2. Use a stud finder to locate the stud intended to support the battery charger. 3. Mark the stud location center. 4. Mark the charger mounting hole center distance at 5.5”(14.0cm). 5. Install #8(M4.2) panhead type screw to approximately 1/4” (6mm) from wall. PRECAUTION: Suitable anchors must be capable of withstanding 35lbs (16kg) minimum. ! 6. Mount the charger to the screws by slight push down and verify it is secure. Readjust the screws as necessary. 7. Plug the power cord into the mains receptacle on the bottom of the charger and a properly earthed mains supply outlet.

8. Use the cord wrap on the bottom of the charger to eliminate any excess power cord. The cord can exit from either the top or the bottom. To avoid tripping hazard, ensure the cord is not too tight or loose. 9

2.2 Charging Battery Packs To charge a Hall Lithium battery pack, perform the following: 1. Slide the Hall Lithium battery pack on one of the battery charging stations.

3.4 Leakage Test The purpose of this test is to measure the amount of 50/60 cycle leakage from the transformer primary to the circuitry of the battery charger. The AC leakage from any exposed metal part to earth ground and from all exposed metal parts having a return to chassis must not exceed 100 microamps. Test Equipment Required: ED&D Leakage Current Tester, Model LT-601 or equivalent. Procedure: 1. Plug the power cord into the back of the battery charger. Plug the battery charger power cord into the test instrument test receptacle. 2. Turn the battery charger on and allow to warm up a minimum of two (2) minutes. 3. Measure the leakage current. 4. Turn the battery charger and test equipment off. Disconnect all test equipment from the battery charger. 5. If leakage exceeds limits, the unit may have a faulty line cord or power transformer and should not be placed into service until the problem has been resolved.
