Tests

LL/F, RA/R and LA/L, or LL/F and LA/L.

Note

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 selected combination of lead connections (all other or between two), press the softkey labeled Lead to Lead from the Leakage Test main menu shown in Figure 17. Figure 22 shows the electrical connections between the Analyzer and the DUT during 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 21. In the figure, the applied parts post RA/R is shown above the other posts. This indicates that the leakage measurement is being made from RA/R to all others. To move to the next applied part post, press F. The first post will appear inline with the other posts while the LL/F post appears above all others. This indicates the second leakage measurement is being made from LL/F to all others. Continue pressing For Eto move from one connection post to another and noting the measured current in the display.

After each post is isolated individually, the Lead-to-Lead (Patient Auxiliary) Leakage test measures current of three

Within the Lead-to-Lead (Patient Auxiliary) Leakage test, a number of fault measurements can be made. Pressing

Pswitches the polarity of the mains voltage applied to the Analyzer’s test receptacle between Normal, Off, Reverse, and Off. Pressing Nopens and closes the neutral connection to the Analyzer’s test receptacle. Pressing Dopens and closes the earth or ground connection to the Analyzer’s test receptacle.

Note

If there are more than five applied parts to connect to the Analyzer, see Using the 1210 Adapter later in this manual.
