Notes:
Recommended Service Outlet:
115 vac, 60Hz, Single Phase, 20A (North America)
230 vac, 50Hz, Single Phase, 16A (EU); 230 VAC/13A for U.K.
Transient Overvoltage
Installation Category II (branch circuit)
Circuit:
The instrument must have a separate, dedicated line with Hot, Neutral, and Isolated Ground in its own conduit. The
conduit should start at the distribution panel and be continuous to the receptacle. Three-wire distribution to the
receptacle is required for each instrument. The third (green) ground wire should start at the distribution panel and be continuous to the receptacle in accordance with NEC paragraph 250.146(d) unless local codes prohibit. The ground wire should not be tiedgrounds from other loads.
Wire Size (North America only):
10 AWG wire is required to minimize voltage drop between the distribution panel and the receptacle when the instrument operates at full current load.
Receptacle:
Customer must provide a Hospital Grade receptacle, installed by a qualified electrician before arrival of the instrument. The receptacle must be accessible to the 9-ft (2.7-m) power cord furnished with the instrument. The U. S. A. requires NEMA #5-20R 20 amp straight blade receptacle (Hubbell receptacle No. IG-8310 or equivalent).
Electromagnetic Radiation:
Do not locate the instrument within 50 ft (15 m) in any direction of an electromagnetic radiation source such as diathermy apparatus.

| Measurement Standard | UL3101-1 | EN61010-1 |
| This complies with the requirement of UL 3101-1, CSA C22.2 #1010.1 and TUVS Certification for EN61010-1 safety standards for laboratory equipment in non-patient-vicinity laboratory equipment. | ||
| Phone Line Requirement | |
|---|---|
| A dedicated phone line connected to the Dimension® Xpand® Plus system is required for installation. | • Dedicated, direct line connected only to the Dimension® Xpand® Plus system (not through a switchboard) • Full duplex, capable of two-way transmission • Standard phone connection (not digital) • RJ11C or RJ11W phone jack |
| Host Interfacing | |
|---|---|
| A 25-pin female connector is required for hookup to the male connector used for host communications port. |
| Installation | |
|---|---|
| The Dimension® Xpand® Plus clinical chemistry system will be installed by a qualified Siemens representative. | |
| The installation will include checkout of all aspects necessary to ensure the equipment is fully operational. |
| Preventive Maintenance Frequency | |
|---|---|
| Four Siemens service preventive maintenance visits per year for the Dimension® Xpand® Plus system with HM. | |
| Three Siemens service preventive maintenance visits per year for the Dimension® Xpand® Plus system without HM. |
| Code Compliance | |
|---|---|
| Safety Compliance The Dimension® Xpand® Plus system has been designed and tested to comply with safety standards UL3101-1, CSA C22.2 #1010.1 and EN61010-1 under the following environmental conditions [subclause 1.4]: |
|
| Temperature | 5°C (41°F) to 40°C (104°F) |
| Humidity | Maximum 80% at 31°C to 50% at 40°C |
| Altitude | Maximum 2,000 m (6,562 ft) |
| Main Supply | 115±10% vac or 230±10% vac, 50/60Hz |
| Overvoltage Category | Category II, connected to a branch circuit |
| Pollution degree | Degree 2, normal indoor laboratory environment. Air contains only non-conducive pollutants with occasional condensation. |
| Additional functional environmental conditions are discussed earlier in this document. | |
| Emission Compliance | The Dimension® Xpand® Plus system has been designed and tested to EN55022 Class A. In a domestic environment it may cause radio interference, in which case you may need to take measures to mitigate the interference. The Dimension® Xpand® Plus system should not be used next to any Industrial Scientific and Medical (ISM) equipment that must functionally produce RF energy (e. g., diathermy equipment). |
| Barcode Scanner | The barcode scanner uses Class I LEDs (light-emitting diodes) and is not hazardous to your eyes. |
