Test Guidelines
When performing recurrent tests:
• Perform required test steps in the order defined above.
• Measure all areas of the system indicated in the following chapters.
• All tests must be passed before the device can be considered safe.
• The calibration of the measuring device must be valid at the time of measurement.
NOTE: The measurement outlet connection of the measuring device must remain established
during the entire measurement cycle. If you unplug the measurement outlet during measurement,
the measuring device recognizes that the connection is no longer established and you will need to
repeat the entire test.
If a test does not pass, device must be repaired by Brainlab support. After repair, repeat the
entire electrical safety test from the beginning.
Safety Inspection Form
• Print out or make a copy of the safety inspection form (from page 48).
• Enter the inspection results.
• Compare measured values with critical values (defined on page 49) to determine if the test
has been passed.
• Keep form as a record of the inspection.
