CHAPTER 3: SYSTEM INSTALLATION
3.1 INSTALLATION ISSUES AND REQUIREMENTS
3.1.1 Environmental Requirements
Verify the system is to be operated in a room that meets the environmental requirements listed
in Table 3-1 (below).
Caution: Avoid placing the system against walls or structures that may decrease air circulation.
Table 3-1: System Environment Specifications
Item Metric Value US Value
Ambient Operational Temperature 16 to 35° C 61 to 95° F
Internal Operational Temperature 16 to 55° C 61 to 131° F
Internal Operational Humidity 10% to 80% (non-condensing)
Storage Conditions -20 to 60° C -4 to 140° F
Storage Humidity 10% to 90% (non-condensing)
Warning: Operate in an indoor environment only, free from moisture, flammable liquids, gases,
corrosive substances, strong electrical or magnetic fields and equipment that generates
high frequency waves.
Ultrasonix cannot guarantee the proper performance of the system if used in the above-
listed conditions.

3.1.2 Electrical Requirements
Verify the system is to be operated in a room that meets the electrical requirements listed below.
Table 3-3: Electrical Specifications
Electrical Rating Value
Measurement (System Only) 115 Vac @ 47-63Hz (Canada and USA)
(International)
Current Draw (System Only) 4.00A (Canada and USA)
(International)
Power Draw (System Only @ peak) 450 VA
Leakage Current (System Only) < 100 uA
Note: Refer to OEM peripheral manuals for peripheral-specific electrical ratings.
3.1.2.1 Instrument Input Power Rating
An instrument input power rating has been established to clarify the maximum power
requirement of the system with all accessories. Depending upon the accessories and options
installed, the system may not draw the full amount of power listed below:
Table 3-4: Instrument Power Input Rating
System
Voltage, VAC Nominal System Power Usage, including isolated accessory power SONIX System Power Usage Isolated Accessory Power Available
115V 7A Continuous 5.5A Continuous 1.5A Continuous
220V 4A Continuous 3.25A Continuous 0.75A Continuous
For optimal system performance, use a dedicated, interference-free, isolated, grounded wall
outlet. To ensure grounding reliability, use a hospital-grade power cord and connect it only to an
equivalent hospital-grade socket. The specifications of the hospital-grade power cord as follows:
Table 3-5: Hospital-Grade Power Cord Specifications
Input Voltage Hospital Grade Power Cord Specifications
100-120V ~, 47-63Hz 125Vac, 15A, 3 wire, 18 AWG, grounding type, 5-15P Hospital Grade plug
cap, less than 6 m long, CSA & UL approved
200-240V~, 47-63Hz 250Vac, 15A, 3 wire, 18 AWG, grounding type, 6-15P Hospital Grade plug
cap, less than 6 m long, CSA & UL approved
