Important safeguards/notices for use in the
medical environments
1. All the equipments connected to this unit
shall be certified according to Standard
IEC60601-1, IEC60950-1, IEC60065 or
other IEC/ISO Standards applicable to
the equipments.
2. Furthermore all configurations shall
comply with the system standard
IEC60601-1-1. Everybody who connects
additional equipment to the signal input
part or signal output part configures a
medical system, and is therefore,
responsible that the system complies
with the requirements of the system
standard IEC60601-1-1.
If in doubt, consult the qualified service
personnel.
3. The leakage current could increase
when connected to other equipment.
4. For this particular equipment, all
accessory equipment connected as
noted above, must be connected to
mains via an additional isolation
transformer conforming with the
construction requirements of IEC606011 and providing at least Basic Insulation.
5. This equipment generates, uses, and
can radiate radio frequency energy. If it is
not installed and used in accordance with
the instruction manual, it may cause
interference to other equipment. If this
unit causes interference (which can be
determined by unplugging the power
cord from the unit), try these measures:
Relocate the unit with respect to the
susceptible equipment. Plug this unit and
the susceptible equipment into different
branch circuit.
Consult your dealer. (According to standard
EN60601-1-2 and CISPR11, Class B,
Group 1)

environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered.
If the measured field strength in the location in which the MCC-3000MT is used exceeds the
applicable RF compliance level above, the MCC-3000MT should be observed to verify normal
operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such
as reorienting or relocating the MCC-3000MT.

Recommended separation distances between portable and
mobile RF communications equipment and the MCC-3000MT
The MCC-3000MT is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF
disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the MCC-3000MT can help prevent
electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF
communications equipment (transmitters) and the MCC-3000MT as recommended below,
according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.

For transmitters rated a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation
distance d in meters (m) can be estimated using the equation applicable to the frequency of the

Connection between the Camera Head and CCU
Connecting the camera cable to the CAMERA A/B connector
Connect the camera cable connector on the
camera head with the CAMERA A/B connector
on the CCU using the optional CCMC-T05/T10/
T20 Camera Cable.
Notes
• Be sure to turn off the power supply for all
equipment when you connect or disconnect the
camera cable. Connecting/disconnecting a
cable while the power is on may result in
malfunctions.
• Be sure to connect the camera head and CCU
with the camera cable before you start the unit.
• Insert the connector by pushing it straight in,
being careful not to bend the pins.
• Insert the connectors of the cables properly.
Loose connection often generates noise. When
pulling out a cable, be sure to pull it out by the
connector, not the cable itself.
Connecting the camera cable to the camera head

Preparations
1 Connect the camera cable square plug
to the CAMERA A connector.
2 Tighten the two screws on the square
plug.
Connect the camera cable to the CAMERA B
connector in the same way.
Notes
• Excessive tightening the screws may make
them difficult to loosen and result in damage.
• Turning the screws with your hands until the
screws do not move is sufficient. Do not use
tools or excessive force when tightening the
screws.
Positioning marks
1 Align the positioning marks on the
camera cable connector and on the
camera cable round plug, and then push
the plug in.
2 Turn the connector ring to tighten.
