WARNING

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some users routinely perform a safety-earth or ground-bonding test at currents in excess of

 

10 amps. Test currents in excess of 1 amp will likely exceed the impedance limit specification,

 

and can damage the RFI protection finger contacts. Exposed metal on the transducer assembly,

 

including the connector, are for RFI and are not safety grounds.

Chassis to Ground Resistance Test Procedure

To test the system for resistance between chassis and ground:

1.Inspect the power cord for cracks and wear.

2.Set the mode on the analyzer to measure resistance in the power cord.

3.Plug the analyzer into an available AC wall outlet. Plug the ultrasound system power plug into the test receptacle on the analyzer.
