Two features of the system are user programmable. They are the displayed language and line rate.
The system may be configured to display messages in languages other than the default setting of English. These
languages are French, Spanish, Italian, and German. Also, the system can be configured to run at 50 or 60 Hertz.
The system is preset at the factory such that all 115 VAC units (Model GEN01) are at 60 Hz, and all 230 VAC
units (Model GEN32) are at 50 Hz. If the line rate is set inappropriately, a system error will always be displayed at
normal power up. To change the language or line rate, refer to the following sections.
Follow steps 1 through 5 in section 3.2 to prepare the Generator for power up. Prior to turning the Generator on,
press and hold the Increase and Decrease Buttons simultaneously with one hand. While holding these two buttons
in, turn the Generator power on. Once the power light comes on, release the two buttons. The preset language and
software revision (1.35) should now be displayed. This indicates that the first page of the service mode is accessed.
If you are unable to access this first page of the service mode, refer to section 5.2.
In the first page of the service mode, different languages can be displayed by pressing the Increase Button. Once
the desired language is located, press the Save Button and turn the Generator off. All display messages will now be
in the newly selected language.
Enter the first page of the service mode as described above. Press the Standby Button to access the second page of
the service mode. In this second page, the display will indicate the line rate currently selected. The line rate may be
toggled between 50 Hz and 60 Hz by pressing the Increase Button.
A validation sequence is required to change the line rate. In addition to updating the line rate, the memory check
sum is updated and the error history is erased. This is explained in more detail in section 5.2. Before entering the
validation sequence, verify that the number following the letters CRC is 55947. If this is not the case, do not
continue with the validation (see section 5.2). Once 55947 is verified, enter Save, Increase, Decrease, Save, and
Standby sequentially. The Generator is now configured to operate at the selected line rate
Chapter 5 - Upper Level Diagnostics
This section discusses the most common problem areas and how to resolve these problems primarily through
modifications to usage and swapping of blades and hand pieces. This section is a good place to start once a
problem has been identified.
The testing sequence should proceed as follows:
1. Perform the basic functional test as described in section 3.3.
2. Starting with section 5.1 (Trouble Shooting Guide), work through the sub-sections (5.2 and 5.3) until
the problem is identified.
3. If the problem then is still unidentified, refer to Chapter 6 for a module by module diagnosis.
The following section lists the probable causes and corrective actions for error conditions that may occur during
operation of the ULTRACISION HARMONIC SCALPEL Generator. If the symptoms specified in this section are
inappropriate or the corrective actions are insufficient, consult a qualified hospital technician or call one of the
following numbers for service:
• 1-800-USE-ENDO (U.S. calls)
• 1-513-483-8901 (International calls - English speaking only)
