Standard Plug Control System
Lockout: Plug Control System with lockout, power is controlled through a series of mercury contactors activated by the door over the Laser Outlet (ALO-R) inside the operating room. All other outlets are locked out until the door is shut. 12 circuits are maximum.
Selectability: Plug Control System with up to four outlets that can be on at any one time before
the other outlets are locked out. Power is controlled through a series of mercury contactors activated by
the door over the Laser Outlet (ALO-R) inside the operating room.
The Laser Panel has an electronic module that counts how many doors are allowed to be on before it locks out the
remaining outlets. This setting is factory set to your specification and is field adjustable by switches on a
printed circuit board. 12 circuits are maximum.
Advantages
The advantages of our Plug Control System are the hospital staff does
not have to leave the operating room to turn the Laser/Xray System on or
off. For safety no one can turn them off accidentally until they are
finished and unplug their machine. Gravity will close the door
automatically. Each mercury contactor has its own branch breaker to
protect its circuit. This gives you the option to mix amperages on the
same system since many hospitals have different models of lasers. 20,
30, 50 & 60 amp lasers are very common. With our Selectability Plug
Control System you can run more than one Laser at any one time, saving
the cost of two or more power supplies. Since our system is also field
adjustable you can make substitutions without major changes. Change the
branch breaker, receptacle NEMA configuration and reset switches for how
many outlets you want on at any one time. With our Plug Control only the
room that is using the system will get an alarm if a fault occurs.
Circuit Breaker Panel
Similar to a basic Isolated power panel, power is fed through branch
circuit breakers appropriately sized for the application. With this
style, power is provided to each circuit (1-16) at all times. The
disadvantage of this is that all circuits are on, contributing to system
leakage. Also when an alarm goes off it will alarm in all rooms per NFPA
99 Code.
