Lead-to-Lead (Patient Auxiliary) Leakage Tests

The Lead-to-Lead (Patient Auxiliary) leakage test
is available when the IEC60601 or ANSI/AAMI
ES1-1993 standard is selected.
To measure the leakage current through each applied part
or lead and combination of lead connections (all other or
between two), push the Lead to Lead softkey from the
Leakage Test main menu shown in Figure 19. Figure 24
shows the electrical connections between the Product and
the DUT when it does a Lead-to-Lead (Patient Auxiliary)
Leakage Current Test.
The Lead-to-Lead (Patient Auxiliary) Leakage test adds a
diagram of the applied parts connection posts to the
display, as shown in Figure 23. In the figure, the applied
parts post RA/R is shown above the other posts. This
shows that the leakage measurement is from RA/R to all
others. To move to the subsequent applied part post, push
F. The first post will show inline with the other posts while
the LL/F post shows above all others. This shows the
second leakage measurement is from LL/F to all others.
Continue to push E or F to move from one connection post
to another.
After each post is isolated individually, the Lead-to-Lead
(Patient Auxiliary) Leakage test measures current of three
different combinations of posts tied together: RA/R and
LL/F, RA/R and LA/L, or LL/F and LA/L.

How to Do Electrical Safety Tests
Figure 23. Applied Parts Connection Posts Display
The Lead-to-Lead (Patient Auxiliary) Leakage test can
make different fault measurements. Push P to switch
the polarity of the mains voltage applied to the test
receptacle between Normal, Off, Reverse, and Off. Push
N to open and close the neutral connection to the test
receptacle. Push Dto open and close the earth or
ground connection to the test receptacle.
If there are more than five applied parts to
connect to the Product, see the How to Use the
1210 Adapter section in this manual.
