Page 12: Keys
KEYS Six tactile-touch keys with audio feedback are provided for system operation: – This key turns the unit off and on. The unit will initiate with the Main Screen . – When not in SETUP mode, this key will initiate the Full System Test, which includes both a bath conductivity test and a transducer electrical leakage test. - Page 13 – This key toggles the unit into and out of the system modes. Depressing this key will toggle from the Main screen to the Meter Screen (ULT-2020 Only) and then to the Datalog Screen (ULT-2020 only). Depressing and holding this key will allow entry to the SETUP mode where the configuration can be viewed and adjusted.

Page 14: Screens
SCREENS MAIN SCREEN – The main screen indicates to the user that the ULT-2000 Series unit is initialized and ready for testing. This screen is loaded after power-up initialization and can be shown by pressing the key after a test is complete. - Page 15 The BATH TEST consists of a Self-Test and a Bath Conductivity Test. The Self Test ensures that the ULT-2000 Series unit is working properly before checking the DUT. The Bath Conductivity test ensures that the test fluid has the proper level of electrical conductivity needed for a good electrical leakage test.
- Page 16 METER SCREEN (ULT-2020 ONLY) – The meter screen allows for extended leakage current measurements. This helps in troubleshooting ultrasound probes. This screen is accessed by pressing the key. The test voltage, frequency, and output control are selected by pressing the key.
- Page 17 DATALOG SCREEN (ULT-2020 ONLY) – The Datalog screen shows the test results for up to 99 test records. The datalog includes a Time/Date Stamp, the Test Type, Pass/Fail, Test Measurements, and Test Limits. This screen is accessed by pressing key. In this screen, the arrows are used to scroll through the test records.
- Page 18 LOW BATTERY – When the battery life reaches 10 percent, the LOW BATTERY message box will be displayed. BATTERY ELIMINATOR – A 2.1 mm jack is provided for the optional 9 VDC Battery Eliminator (BC20-21100, BC20-21101) that may be used for continuous run applications. It bypasses the internal battery when plugged in.

Page 19: Setup
SETUP The SETUP Mode allows the user to adjust the configuration of the meter. The Setup screen can be entered by depressing and holding using the key until the Access code screen appears (5 sec). The arrows are then used to enter the access code. When the access code is displayed, the key is then depressed again to gain access to the SETUP mode. - Page 20 System Setup Configuration Parameter Description Range Determines whether the test measurements (actual test PASS/FAIL or readings) are shown in the test screen, or if the unit will Test Mode simply give a PASS or FAIL result. The Default setting Numerical is Numerical.
- Page 21 System Setup Configuration Parameter Description Range Determines the period of inactivity before the meter is turned OFF. A timer is started when the meter is turned ON and is reset each time a key is pressed. When the timer reaches the value set in this parameter, the power is automatically turned OFF.

Page 23: Operations
OPERATION GENERAL OPERATING OVERVIEW The ULT-2000 is designed to test the electrical safety of all types of diagnostic ultrasound transducers, independent of the ultrasound machines on which they are typically used. Although the ULT-2000 can be used on virtually any type of ultrasound transducer, it is especially recommended in the testing of TEE (Transesaphogeal Echocardiography) transducers prior to each use, as recommended by many TEE ultrasound manufacturers. - Page 24 Typical electrical safety (leakage) testing of the diagnostic ultrasound transducer should occur as part of the routine cleaning and disinfecting activity that is undertaken between patient ultrasound scanning procedures. The ultrasound transducer (see Item 5 in Figure 1) is immersed in a basin (see Item 4 in Figure 1) that contains a suitable electrically conductive liquid (see Item 7 in Figure 1).
- Page 25 The first part of an actual ultrasound transducer electrical safety testing procedure is to test the conductivity of the liquid medium in the test basin. The ULT-2000 accomplishes this test quite easily, and reports either a simple PASS/FAIL or the actual numerical conductivity of the medium (according the user-selectable setup of the unit).

Page 27: Self Test
SELF TEST The ULT-2000 performs an internal self test in two steps prior to doing either a Bath or Transducer Test. Voltage Source Test - The first step is to read the actual high voltage (challenge voltage) that will be used during the testing to ensure that it is within range. If it is not, an alarm is activated and the test is halted. -
