Grounding Continuity (Systems with Modo Cart only)

Electric Shock Hazard!
CAUTION
The patient or operator MUST NOT come into contact with equipment during this test.
!! CAUTION:
NOTE: This test is not valid for stand-alone Voluson i / Voluson e systems and is only applicable when the
Voluson i / Voluson e portable ultrasound system is mounted on the Modo Cart.
Measure the resistance from the third pin of the attachment plug to the exposed metal parts of the
Modo Cart.
The ground wire resistance should be less than 0.2 ohms.
Reference the procedure in the IEC 60601-1-1.
GROUND PIN
Lacquer is an isolation barrier! Resistor may be high-impedance!
CAUTION
Measure only on blank parts, stated in
!! CAUTION:

Meter Procedure

Follow these steps to test the Ground wire resistance.
1.) Turn the Voluson i / Voluson e unit OFF.
2.) Plug the unit into the meter, and the meter into the tested AC wall outlet.
3.) Plug the black chassis cable into the meter's "CHASSIS" connector and attach the black chassis
cable clamp to an exposed metal part of the Voluson i / Voluson e unit.
4.) Set the meter's "FUNCTION" switch to the RESISTANCE position.
5.) Set the meter's "POLARITY" switch to the OFF (center) position.
6.) Measure and record the Ground wire resistance.
