intermediate ceiling construction, the ceiling tube is mounted onto the threaded rods M12 that were screwed
into the carrier plate.

Danger of injury from falling parts!

Since mounting the arms requires overhead work, injuries can be
caused by parts falling from above. This is especially the case if
not all of an extension arm's six mounting screws are correctly
tightened in sequence!

Mount the silicone retaining ring before the extension arms!

Before mounting the extension arms, the silicone retaining ring
that accommodates the ceiling tube cover must be correctly
mounted, “Mounting the ceiling tube for Sim.FLEX“, page 31.

This is no longer possible after mounting the extension
arms!

If a monitor mount is included in the lighting system, the central
axis for the corresponding extension arm is delivered together
with a stop piece. When mounting the ceiling tube, it is important
to ensure that the range of rotation of this extension arm is as
desired. To this end, the ceiling tube can be turned in steps of
60° before mounting. During mounting, the central axis allows
additional adjustments of the range of rotation of 120° each,

 “Mounting the round central axis“, page 33.

4.1.11 Mounting and connecting the power supply unit for surgical lights to the ceiling tube

Danger of electric shock!

A switch is to be provided on-site as a disconnector from the
mains power supply which disconnects the system from the
mains power supply at all poles simultaneously This switch must
meet the creepage and air distance requirements set forth in IEC
61058-1 for a mains voltage peak of 4 kV. The activation device
for this switch must meet the requirements of IEC 60447.

If the switch is not visible to the maintenance personnel, it will
have to be possible to lock it in the OFF position.

The locking mechanism may be located in the mains power
supply switch of the organisation in charge.

The sample image shows a switching power supply mounted
on a ceiling tube. The switching power supply can also be
mounted externally in a control cabinet.

Risk of injury due to light/camera malfunction!

In order to safeguard against the possibility of a lighting system outage,
every switching power supply on site must be powered by a separate feed
line!

Each light must be supplied with a separate switching power supply.
Each camera on a separate arm must be supplied with a separate

switching power supply.

The Line out outputs (2) are only used to supply an optional, medically
approved display (with 100 – 240V AC, if possessing country- / region­specific approval).

Risk of injury due to voltage fluctuations!
The mains power supply must satisfy overvoltag e category II in

terms of the mains transients. Voltages above 110 % or below 90 %
of the voltage's nominal value may not arise between arbitrary
conductors of the system or between one of these conductors and
earth. The client must also offer Simeon products protection against
excessively high start-up currents.

 Next, affix the ferrite core (2) to the Line in (1) mains supply

line. To do so, place the ferrite core around the cable and
allow the ferrite core's snap lock to snap into place. If the cable
is not securely clamped by the ferrite core, secure the ferrite
core in position (3) against sliding using a cable tie.

 Make sure that the ferrite core is not mounted at a distance

greater than 40 mm from the terminal (1).
