Page 25: Preliminary Steps
Operation, Maintenance, and Service Preliminary Steps Preliminary Steps The Analyzer measures electrical parameters, as described below. These voltages and currents are a natural phenomenon, and their presence within reasonable limits does not constitute a hazard. However, it is necessary to measure their values to determine if there is a significant change from previous measurements or from the device specifications. -
Page 26: Verifying The Power Outlet Connections
Users Guide Prepare the Analyzer for use as follows: 1. To start from the same position each time, place the Analyzer's switches in the following starting positions: FUNCTION switch V- LINE VOLTS LEAD switch NEUTRAL switch CLOSED OUTLET switch OFF [center] 2. -
Page 27: Measuring Line Voltage
Operation, Maintenance, and Service Measuring Line Voltage WX Warning To avoid electrical shock due to faulty DUT, DO NOT touch the metal chassis, any accessible conductive part, or terminal of the DUT with mains power applied until all applicable tests have been completed and the product is verified as compliant. -
Page 28: Measuring Device Current
Users Guide device being tested. Depending on the device's operating current and the electrical supply wiring, the voltage differential may be significant. 3. Check the value under load against the device's ratings to ensure that the actual value remains within prescribed limits. An excessive drop also suggests that a dedicated line of increased capacity should be run to the instrument. -
Page 29: Measuring Chassis Grounding Resistance
Operation, Maintenance, and Service Measuring Chassis Grounding Resistance Measuring Chassis Grounding Resistance Note This test is only applicable to devices utilizing three-wire (grounded) power cords. Ground Wire Resistance [R ] (grounding resistance) is the resistance from the device's conductive "grounded" chassis to the grounding terminal on the receptacle into which it is plugged. -
Page 30: Measuring Leakage Current
Users Guide Note The OUTLET switch should be in the OFF (center) position for this measurement. Measuring Leakage Current Leakage current is the flow of current through or over the surface of an insulating material or insulator. For example, if a person comes in contact with an operational device, leakage current is the amount of current that flows from the point where the person came in contact with the device product, through the person’s body, and back to ground. -

Page 34: Lead-To-Lead (Auxiliary) Current
Users Guide Lead-to-Lead (Auxiliary) Current Lead-to-Lead [I ] (auxiliary) current flows from any patient lead to any other patient lead and to all other leads connected together. The current can be dc or ac or a combination of both. Measurements are made with a true-rms converter to provide the common base necessary for accurate readout with a variety of common wave forms. -
