Use a suitable approved mains lead for the C8 inlet. Confirm whether the order includes the mains lead; the catalogue does not specify an AC cord as included.
Medical Isolation and Application
Isolation design
2 × MOPP primary-to-secondary isolation and a BF-rated design.
BF application
BF-rated adapter design with the listed home-healthcare standards.
Touch current
<100 µA at 264 VAC.
Primary-to-secondary withstand
4 kVAC.
Insulation resistance
Input/output: 100 MΩ at 500 VDC, 25°C and 70% RH.
MOPP stands for means of patient protection. The isolation and leakage ratings support medical-equipment design; they do not by themselves certify the complete medical device or its patient connections. Verify the required applied-part classification, installation and system-level safety for the actual equipment.
Protection
Overload / short circuit
Overload threshold 105–150% of rated output power; hiccup mode, with automatic recovery after the fault is removed.
Overvoltage
105–135% of rated output voltage; output shuts down and requires re-powering.
Overtemperature
Output shuts down; re-power after temperature has returned to a safe level.
Cooling, Derating and Environment
Operating ambient
−30 to +70°C, subject to derating.
Horizontal temperature curve
100% load from −30°C through 40°C; the curve marks 80% at 50°C and 50% at 70°C.
Input-voltage derating, 60 Hz
80 VAC: 80% load; 100 VAC: 100% load; 264 VAC: 100% load.
Operating humidity
20–90% RH, non-condensing.
Storage
−40 to +85°C; 10–95% RH, non-condensing.
Temperature coefficient
±0.03%/°C over 0–40°C.
Operating altitude
Up to 3000 m. Above 2000 m, reduce the operating ambient-temperature limit by 3.5°C per additional 1000 m for this fanless adapter.
Vibration
10–500 Hz, 2 G; 10 minutes per cycle and 60 minutes along each X, Y and Z axis.
Apply input-voltage and temperature derating together. Use the horizontal orientation of the catalogue curve and provide ventilation around the case. Do not interpret the 70°C ambient endpoint or the 3000 m altitude as an unconditional full-power rating.
