Pneumatic system
The argon gas is extracted from the gas cylinder at approx. 200 bar. Down-
stream of the pressure reducer unit it is available at the APC unit with ap-
prox. 5 bar. The pressure reducer unit is equipped with a high-pressure
sensor which can be used to identify the level of gas in the cylinder.
In the unit itself the internal supply pressure sensor is downstream of the
input filter. A switching valve is then used to switch the gas to the control
unit. This consists of the internal pressure reducer, which reduces the
pressure to 2.5 bar, a proportional valve and the flow sensors. For redun-
dancy reasons the flow is measured using two sensors based on different
physical principles. One is designed as a differential pressure sensor which
measures the differential pressure occurring at a specified bottleneck.
With the calorimetric flow sensor an electrically heated element is cooled
by the gas flow. This cooling can be used to calculate the flow rate.
The output is also equipped with another pressure sensor which is used to
control the pressure in the instrument. This allows a blockage to be detect-
ed and the gas pressure maintained at non-critical levels.
A switched mode power supply unit housed on the "APC controller" gen-
erates the necessary supply currents of +5 V, +15 V and –15 V from the

Activation recognition The activation recognition checks whether one of the activation buttons
(or ReMode button) has been pressed. It is designed to analyze the differ-
ent coding systems (diode coding, resistor coding connected in parallel or
series).

jumpers on the socket connectors.

sockets) This data is converted to CAN using the "CPU + Sensors" and sent to the
control panel.
The safety relays, which switch the HF voltage on activation to the instru-
ment connected, are also located on the IIF assembly. The actual switching
state of the relay is reported back to the system such that defective relays
or incorrect switching states can be recognized.
There are two types of IIF:
• IIF ME: for monopolar instruments, equipped with a relay that can
switch the activated electrode to the instrument.
• IIF BE: for bipolar instruments and multifunction instruments designed
for bipolar use only. Each equipped with one relay for the activated
electrode and patient plate.

Setup and Service settings
The setup and service settings relevant to the APC 2 are called up and
changed from the VIO electrosurgical unit to which the APC 2 is connected.
The setup and service settings vary depending on which VIO electrosurgi-
cal unit (VIO D or VIO S) the APC 2 is connected to. They are therefore only
described in the service manuals for the VIO electrosurgical units.

ATTENTION! Adjustments, technical tests, modifications, maintenance and repair
work may only be performed by Erbe or persons trained by Erbe. If the
work is not performed by trained persons, Erbe accepts no liability and
warranty rights become void.
Temperature conditions
IMPORTANT! Measurement/adjustment should take place when the unit has
warmed up (standby temperature). For this purpose, switch on the unit
and wait until the temperature attains a constant value. This value is
between +40 °C and +55 °C and is attained after approx. half an hour.
(This value is displayed in the test program "TP generator", for exam-
ple.)

IMPORTANT! During adjustment of the APC 2 the APC 2 and the VIO electrosurgical
unit must not under any circumstances be connected with one another
via ECB.
IMPORTANT! Erbe recommends using an argon pressure cylinder to supply the argon
gas to adjust the APC 2. In addition, original Erbe pressure reducers for
APC 2 should be used. For article numbers see chapter "Testing and

Safety information
ATTENTION! In the event of a fault occurring in the test specimen or individual com-
ponents during the technical safety check the test steps taken so far no
longer apply.
Remedy the defect and repeat the technical safety check from the
beginning.
IMPORTANT! For all tests the test specimen must be connected to a VIO HF surgical
unit and be connected to the same via ECB. In the case of tests con-
cerning grounded conductor resistance, ground leakage current, and
patient leakage current it is always the device combination of VIO HF
surgical unit and the actual test specimen (APC 2) which is tested
because the test specimen does not have it own built-in power supply

IMPORTANT! If the test specimen is provided with two APC sockets, operation of both
sockets must be verified in accordance with the Safety Check instruc-
tions.
IMPORTANT! It is assumed that the user knows how to operate the test specimen,
the test equipment, the measuring equipment, and auxiliary test equip-
ment. The test instructions only apply in conjunction with the relevant
test steps.
IMPORTANT! For this test only Erbe pressure reducers may be used. For article num-
bers see chapter "Testing and measuring equipment".

Test procedure
1st test step 1. Reduce the input pressure on the test specimen slowly (from 5 bar)
using the variable pressure regulator. When doing so, check the actual
pressure on the pressure gauge.
2. Press the Purge button. Gas flow is generated and the actual pressure
is reduced.
3. When the actual pressure drops to <2.5 bar, the test specimen must
display the underpressure warning "A-10".
2nd test step 1. Increase the input pressure on the test specimen slowly (from 5 bar)
using the variable pressure regulator. When doing so, check the actual
pressure on the pressure gauge.
2. When the input pressure rises to >7.5 bar, the test specimen must
display the overpressure warning "A-11".

Test procedure
1. Press the Purge button. The gas flow generates a back pressure at
the gas output.
2. Check output pressure with the pressure gauge.
3. When an output pressure of 2.0 bar ±0.4 bar has been reached, the
test specimen must discontinue activation automatically and display
the warning "A-40".

until the red value is shown (red = value can be modified).
– Set the red value to 100 using the up and down buttons.
– Press the selection button next to the P. valve (analog) again
repeatedly until the black value is shown (black = value has been
confirmed).
5. Close the argon gas bottle valve. The test specimen does not leak if
the input pressure that can be read off the pressure gauge of the
pressure regulator does not drop noticeably within 5 minutes.

• With APC socket (not illustrated): The gas outlet of the APC socket is
connected to the ITP flowmeter via the test hose. The VIO APC hand-
piece is electrically connected to the APC socket.
Test procedure
1. On the VIO HF surgical unit set the first flow setpoint of 0.2 l/min.
2. Activate test specimen via the footwitch.
3. Document the measured value.
4. Repeat the test with all the flow setpoints on the table below. All the
measured values must be within the specified tolerance ranges.

Test procedure
1st test step 1. Insert the blue connector of the APC measuring cable into the 10 Ohm
socket of the APC test box. The test specimen must detect that an
instrument has been connected and display a corresponding advisory
message.

2nd test step 1. Insert the blue connector of the APC measuring line into the 90 Ohm
socket of the APC test box. The test specimen must detect that an
instrument has been connected and display a corresponding advisory
message.
2. Disconnect the resistance. The test specimen must detect and display
instrument removal.
Test procedure
1. Connect VIO APC handpiece to an APC socket on the test specimen.
The test specimen must indicate instrument recognition with a mes-
sage. The setting on the VIO HF surgical unit must switch to APC
socket.
2. Remove VIO APC handpiece. The test specimen must recognize and
indicate removal of the instrument.
