Overview
This procedure describes how to install a 9900 System. Use the procedure in conjunction with the
9900 Installation Checklist. Follow the inspection and installation procedures in the order they
appear here and record all required information on the checklist. If any corrective actions are
required, open a new service request and note in the Comments section of the Installation Checklist.
File the Checklist in accordance with local procedures.

Safety
Do not attempt to service or maintain this equipment before reading this entire publication.

Note: Safety glasses and safety shoes are required when performing any installation, servicing or
maintenance of equipment. See the hazard matrix in the following Energized Electrical Work
Procedure for specific PPE relative to energized electrical work.

Hazard Alerts
This document uses three kinds of hazard alerts. They are:
 Danger
 Warning
 Caution
This table describes each type of hazard:
Alert Circumstances for Use
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
moderate to minor injury, equipment damage or loss of data.

Energized Electrical Work Procedure

WARNING: All electrical circuits or energized parts shall be de-energized and rendered safe using
the appropriate Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedure as described in the Safety Section
of the 9900 Service Manual Supplement, unless energized system testing, positioning,
or adjustment is required. When energized work is required, follow the Energized
Electrical Work Procedure that follows.

Master in Document Control

Definitions
NFPA 70E – is a national consensus standard that forms a “Standard for Electrical Safety in the
Workplace.” It is also a part of the National Electrical Code, which has been adopted by OSHA as an
enforcement standard.
Arc-flash – an explosion of electrical energy that can cause burns and other injuries. An arc-flash is
essentially a short circuit through the air.
Qualified Individual – an authorized employee who has been properly trained and certified (verified)
to work on energized equipment. Anyone not meeting these requirements is an un-authorized
individual.

Purpose
To mitigate the electrical safety hazards (arc-flash) associated with energized system testing,
positioning, or adjustment (calibration) of GEHC/OEC equipment - in accordance with the NFPA 70E
consensus standard.

Training Requirements
It is the obligation of each GE Field Service Engineer to follow this procedure and understand that
failing to do so can cause serious injury or death.
Only Field Service Engineers who have completed the following training will be considered “Qualified”
employees and permitted to work on energized GEHC/OEC equipment:
 LOTO Authorized [LOTOAth]
 Electrical Safety Authorized [GE-EHS-280-a] and
 LOTO Hands-On Demo [CEP-38]
All other non-authorized personnel will be considered “Affected” individuals.
In addition, “Qualified” personnel must be trained on the proper use of voltage testing equipment.
The training must include:
 how to apply the test instrument to the circuit or energized part,
 how to interpret meter readings,
 how to test to confirm the absence of voltage, and
 the need to test equipment before and after use.

Master in Document Control

Special Precautions
Conductive articles of jewelry shall be removed from the hands, wrists, and shirt pockets. Tools and
test equipment shall be visually inspected before use. Individuals shall be aware of their surroundings
and take precautions to prevent accidental contact with the energized electrical circuits. Each
“Qualified” person is responsible for ensuring that non-authorized individuals remain outside the
“Default Approach Boundary.” When ever possible, protective barriers should be erected around the
flash protection boundary as means to protect “Unqualified” personnel from the effects of an arc
blast.
Insulated tools used within the restricted boundary must be rated for the nominal voltage of the
system being worked on.
Only ladders possessing non-conductive side rails (e.g., fiberglass) shall be allowed within the “Limited
Approach Boundary.”
Emergency Procedures: In case of an accident
1. De-energize the system.
2. Immediately call emergency personnel or summon hospital staff.
3. Check the victim for injuries.
4. Care for victim until help arrives.
5. Report incident to manager and/or EHS staff.
Application of Energized Work Procedure
1. Plan for energized work.
2. Locate energized work procedures.
3. Notify customer of energized work and associated hazards.
4. Inspect and apply proper PPE for hazard class (see Hazard class section).
5. Determine arc-flash boundaries (see Hazard class section).

Electrical Hazards and Hazard Classes

Hazard: Accidental contact with exposed energized circuits resulting in electrical shock or arc-flash.
GEHC/OEC equipment contains one or more of the following voltage ranges: 0v – 50v, 50v – 120v,
120v – 240v, and 240v – 480v. The appropriate section of this energized work procedure will apply
based on the voltage range to which the authorized employee may be exposed.
Voltage 0v – 50v
Task: System testing, positioning, or adjustment (calibration) with exposed and energized conductors.
Minimum Number of Qualified Individuals 1
Limited Approach Boundary Not Specified
Restricted Approach Boundary Not Specified
Prohibited Approach Boundary Not Specified
Default Flash Protection Boundary 4 feet
Hazard/Risk Category None

Master in Document Control

Required PPE/Equipment: No significant arc-flash risk. Only general safe electrical work practices and
standard PPE needs to be used – safety glasses (w/side shields) and safety shoes.
Voltage 50v – 120v

Ingress of Fluids
Excessive amounts of fluids such as antiseptics, cleaning solutions or body fluids may damage
internal components if they are allowed inside the equipment.

WARNING: The equipment is not rated for watertight operation. Do not allow any liquids to leak
into the equipment where they can cause electric shock, fires, and short circuits. If
leakage does occur, ensure that all internal circuitry is completely dry before
attempting to operate the equipment.

WARNING: Never store or operate the system in the presence of conductive fluids like water or
saline solution unless the system is adequately protected by an approved bagging or
draping system.

Electric Shock
If the equipment must be serviced with the covers removed, observe the following precautions:

Master in Document Control

WARNING: High voltage cables, electrolytic capacitors, and CRTs can retain a dangerous static
charge for long periods after power has been removed. Some devices can acquire a
charge spontaneously without direct contact with other circuitry. Do not touch these
components unless power has been completely removed and they have been
discharged. Equipment that contains high power electrical components must be
serviced only by personnel familiar with proper safety procedures for working near
these components. Disconnect AC power (and battery packs if used) before
discharging static electricity in components such as electrolytic capacitors and high
voltage cables. Failure to heed this message will result in death or severe personal
injury. Allow adequate time for static charges to discharge through bleeder resistors.
Use a high wattage resistor when discharging circuits to avoid burns. Have someone
watch while you work near high voltages. This person must remain clear of all
circuitry and be prepared to turn off the power to the system and render aid in an
emergency.

WARNING: Systems with battery packs can deliver high currents at high voltage. Electric shock
from batteries can cause death or personal injury, including severe burns. Use
extreme caution when working on circuits energized by or located near the batteries.
Batteries are dangerous at all times. Setting the battery pack circuit breaker to off
removes battery current from other circuitry, but does not render the batteries
harmless.

CAUTION: Never operate the system unless all potential equalization conductors (green wire with
a yellow stripe) and related components are fastened in place. Dangerous electrical
shock and improper equipment operation can otherwise result.

CAUTION: Remove all metal rings and watchbands before working on system circuitry. Skin
burns and damage from involuntary muscle contractions can result if metal jewelry
shorts electrical circuits.

Explosion
An AP label identifies Anesthetic Proof (AP) equipment in accordance with the requirements of
IEC 60601-1. An AP label means that under normal conditions certain components may be operated
safely in close proximity to flammable gases.
However, if an abnormal condition such as leaking flammable gas occurs, you must take immediate
steps to prevent the gas from contacting non-AP rated components within the equipment. Follow
these guidelines:
 Do not turn the system on or off.
 Do not un-plug or plug-in system or peripheral equipment power cords.
 Do not operate light switches or other electrical equipment.
 Evacuate all personnel immediately.
 Notify the hospital administration and/or fire department.
 Ventilate the room to clear the air of all flammable vapor or gas.
 Identify the source and stop the flow of the flammable liquid, vapor, or gas.

 b. Manually creating a log file
i. Press Ctrl-Alt-F1 on the Workstation keyboard to get to the Linux login prompt on
the right monitor. You may also have to press the Enter key to get to the login
prompt.

ii. Log on to Linux using service as the login and iamageds as the password. If
the login was successful, the Linux prompt will read [service @ ws_gpos ~]$.
iii. From the Linux prompt, type the following command line, replacing <Serial
Number> with the serial number of the system that you are working on, and
replacing MMDDYYYY with today’s date (note the spacing and case):
tar czvf /tmp/<Serial Number>_MMDDYYYY.tar.gz –h /var/log
For example, if you were retrieving the log file for system E2-0399 on June 12th,
2008, you would enter: tar czvf /tmp/E2-0399_06122008.tar.gz –h /var/log

Note: The “-h” parameter is vital to the correct contents of the log file package.
Ensure that the command line is correct before pressing the Enter key.
