CHAPTER 1
Safety information
Classification of the safety information
Knowledge of the User Manual
The User Manual for this unit constitutes an integral part of this Service
Manual. For performing servicing activities it is assumed that the reader
has knowledge of the User Manual, especially procedures for installation,
putting into operation, and handling.
Protection from the risk of electric shock
WARNING! The WARNING! safety indication refers to a risk of personal injury.
CAUTION! The CAUTION! safety indication refers to a risk of damage to property.
ATTENTION! The ATTENTION! safety indication refers to a risk which can cause
equipment to become unserviceable.
IMPORTANT! The IMPORTANT! designation indicates application information and
other particularly important information.
WARNING! The supply voltage must match the voltage specified on the rating
plate. Connect the unit / the equipment cart to a properly installed
grounded outlet. Only use the Erbe power cord or an equivalent power
cord for this purpose. The power cord must bear the national test sym-
bol.
For safety reasons, multiple outlets and extension cords should not be
used. If their use is unavoidable, they also must be provided with proper
grounding.
WARNING! Unplug the power cord from the outlet before exchanging parts of the
unit or cleaning it.
WARNING! Do not plug a wet power cord into the unit or into an outlet.

Electrostatically sensitive components
Liability and warranty
WARNING! Do not touch any unprotected wires or conductive surfaces while the
unit is opened and under voltage.
WARNING! Blown line fuses may only be replaced by a competent technician. Only
replacement fuses of the rating specified on the unit's name plate may
be used. Before resuming operation the unit must be subjected to a
performance test by a competent technician.
CAUTION! This unit contains electrostatically sensitive components. Work at an
anti-static workplace while repairing the unit. Wear a grounding arm-
band while working with electrostatically sensitive components. Hold
the circuit boards by their non-conducting corners. Use an anti-static
container for transporting electrostatically sensitive components and
the circuit boards.
ATTENTION! Adjustments, tests, modifications, maintenance and repair work may
only be performed by Erbe or persons trained by Erbe. If the work is not
performed by trained persons, Erbe accepts no liability and warranty
rights become void.
It is recommended that the technical safety check also be performed by
Erbe or persons trained by Erbe.
ATTENTION! Only use original Erbe spare parts. The manufacturer accepts no liability
and the warranty rights becomes void if original spare parts are not
used.

CHAPTER 2
Unit description
Unit variants
How do the unit variants differ
from one another?
There are VIO S units in different unit variants. Each unit variant has modes
assigned permanently to it.
In the VIO 300 S the unit variant 1 (= basic variant) contains all modes ap-
proved for this unit. These modes are described in the User Manual of the
unit. All other unit variants contain less modes than the basic variant. A list
of all unit variants for the VIO 300 S can be requested from Erbe Tübingen.
Currently only unit variant 1 is available in the VIO 200 S. The modes of this
variant are described in the User Manual of the unit.
How do I determine the unit
variant?
When the VIO S is switched on, the following information about the unit
software appears on the start screen:
•Software status (e.g. 2.0.x)
•Upgrades (e.g. EndoCut I)
•Unit variant (e.g. Variation 2)
The VIO 200 S is an exception. Since at the time of printing only unit variant
1 is available, no statement about the unit variant is made on the start
screen.
Which service work does the
unit variant affect?
The unit variant has an effect on the some tests of the safety check.
