Safety information
Classification of the safety information
DANGER
indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION
indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.
NOTICE
indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, may result in property damage.
Meaning of the note
"Note:"
Refers a) to manufacturer's information that relates directly or indirectly
to the safety of people or protection of property. The information does not
relate directly to a risk or dangerous situation.
Refers b) to manufacturer's information that is important or useful for op-
erating or servicing the unit.
Knowledge of the User Manual

Protection from the risk of electric shock
WARNING
Line voltage applied to the unit housing in a single-fault
condition.
Risk of electric shock and resulting consequential injuries.
The unit/objects in the vicinity of the unit can be damaged.
Use a ground fault interrupt system, e.g. personal pro-
tection outlet with a circuit breaker/r.c.c.b. independent
of line voltage, or an isolating transformer. If an isolating
transformer is used, the tests for ground conductor re-
sistance and ground leakage current must be performed
without the isolating transformer. For these tests the
unit is supplied with current via the safety tester.
Connect the unit to a properly installed grounded power
outlet.
Only connect the unit using an Erbe power cord (see the
user manual for REF numbers). Alternatively: power ca-
bles with a length of no more than 5 m can be used in
accordance with country/region requirements, e.g. hos-
pital grade power cables.
Multiple outlets and extension cords should not be used.
If their use is unavoidable for servicing work, only use
multiple outlets and extension cords with proper ground
terminals.
WARNING
Unit accidentally carrying voltage.
Risk of electric shock and resulting consequential injuries.
The unit/objects in the vicinity of the unit can be damaged.
Before opening, repairing and cleaning, switch off the
unit and unplug at the power outlet.

1 •Safety information
80116-288_V23381  2022-04
WARNING
Open unit intentionally carrying voltage for servicing
work.
Risk of electric shock and resulting consequential injuries.
The unit/objects in the vicinity of the unit can be damaged.
Under no circumstances should you touch live compo-
nents, e.g. unprotected wires, conductive surfaces inside
of the unit.
Use insulated, non-conductive tools (conforming to IEC
60900).
Use a ground fault interrupt system, e.g. personal pro-
tection outlet with a circuit breaker/r.c.c.b. independent
of line voltage, or an isolating transformer.
WARNING
Moist or defective power cord.
Risk of electric shock and resulting consequential injuries.
The unit/objects in the vicinity of the unit can be damaged.
Check the power cord for damage. Do not use a damaged
power cord.
Connect the unit with a dry power cord only.
WARNING
Incorrect line fuse.
The unit/objects in the vicinity of the unit can be damaged.
Have blown line fuses replaced by a competent techni-
cian only.
Only use line fuses with the rating indicated on the rating
plate of the unit.
Before resuming operation on the unit have a perfor-
mance test conducted by a competent technician (see
Repair Instructions, chapter "Maintenance and servic-
ing", section "Performance tests").

1 •Safety information
10 / 110
80116-288_V23381  2022-04
NOTICE
Incorrect line voltage.
The unit will be damaged or destroyed beyond repair.
Make sure the line voltage agrees with the voltage indi-
cated on the rating plate of the unit.
Make sure the line voltage agrees with the voltage indi-
cated on the line input module of the unit.
Electrostatically sensitive components
NOTICE
Electrostatically charged persons or environment during
servicing work.
The unit or unit components will be damaged. The damage
causes a unit failure either instantly or with a delay.
Put on a grounding armband.
Provide the workbench with a grounded antistatic mat.
Use antistatic containers when transporting electrostat-
ically sensitive components, e.g. printed circuit boards.
Liability and warranty
CAUTION
Servicing work not performed properly.
Risk of total or partial unit failure that can result in hazards
to the patient and medical staff.
System adjustments, modifications, and repair work may
only be performed by Erbe or persons trained and autho-
rized by Erbe. If any unauthorized work as stated above
is performed, Erbe accepts no liability and warranty
rights become void.
CAUTION
Use of non-original Erbe replacement parts.
Risk of total or partial unit failure that can result in hazards
to the patient and medical staff.
Only use original Erbe spare parts. Erbe accepts no liabil-
ity and warranty rights shall be void if non-original Erbe
spare parts are used.

Description of the various assemblies
Line input
The VIO system can be operated with a line voltage of either 220 – 240 V
or 100 – 120 V. For this the corresponding value (230 V for a line voltage
of 220 – 240 V or 115 V for 100 – 120 V) must be visible in the inspection
window on the power connection, and fuses corresponding to the value
given on the rating plate must be used.
Low voltage power supply unit (l.v. supply)
The low voltage power supply unit produces the operating voltages +5 V,
+15 V, –15 V and +24 V. A special socket on the underside of the unit is
used to supply the +24 V voltage to other system components (e.g. APC 2).
The input voltage range for this power supply unit is 90...264 V with 50 or
60 Hz. Switching over the line voltage at the power connection has no ef-
fect on this power supply unit.

Power supply (high-voltage power supply unit)
The high-voltage power supply unit provides the HF generator with a DC
voltage which may reach 450 V. It depends on the surgical effect selected
and the alternating voltage necessary for this.
The line input voltage is directly rectified using a bridge-connected recti-
fier. The AC line voltage of 230 V changes to a DC voltage of approx. 320
V; this can be checked between MP3 (ground) and the holding clips of the
fuse holder. 
If the power connection is set to 115 V, the bridge circuit becomes a volt-
age doubler connection, also producing approx. 320 V.
The input circuit contains two NTC resistors to limit the high charging cur-
rent which flows when the unit is switched on. Once the capacitors of the
high-voltage power supply unit are charged, limitation is no longer neces-
sary. The NTC resistors are therefore jumpered during activation via the
closed contacts of relay Rel10.
The resulting DC voltage is changed by a chopper regulator and supplied
to a transformer. The transformer is equipped with two identical output
windings which produce a DC voltage through the rectification. With relay
Rel13 these two output windings can be connected either in series or in
parallel, resulting in two operating ranges for the power supply unit: in the
range up to 250 V the maximum output current is 3.5 A, and in the range
up to 450 V 1.75 A max. is possible.
The high voltage power supply unit is controlled by two analog inputs:
The nominal voltage is predefined at J21 pin 11. Thus 4.5 V control voltage
results in a power supply unit output voltage of 450 V. The current limita-
tion is predefined at pin 9. Here 5 V corresponds to the maximum current
of 3.5 A.
Measuring equipment for voltage and current is available. The measured
values are also reported back analogously to pin 8 (voltage actual value)
and pin 6 (current actual value) with the same gain factor.
In addition, there are also two control inputs available: an enable signal
(pin 7 5 V –> off), with which the high voltage power unit can be switched
on and off, and the activation for the discharge circuit (pin 1 5 V –> on),
with which the output capacitors can be discharged.
