To prevent possible electric shock, fire, or personal injury:

Connect the factory supplied three-conductor line power cord to a properly grounded power outlet.

Do not use a two-conductor adapter or extension cord; this will break the protective ground connection.

Do not touch the applied part/ECG terminals or the device under test when adjacent red warning indicators are illuminated. These terminals source potentially hazardous voltages in these conditions.

Caution: Connect the analyzer to a properly grounded, three-prong outlet. The Analyzer will not properly test a device under test (DUT) when the ground lead is open.

The analyzer is intended for use with single-phase, grounded power. It is not intended for dual, split-phase, or three-phase power configurations. It can, however, be used with any power system that is grounded and supplies the correct voltages for single-phase configurations.

1. Connect the analyzer with the included power cord to a grounded outlet.

2. Press the power button to turn the analyzer on. The analyzer will show the home screen after successfully completing all self-tests.

3. The analyzer is now ready for making measurements and running procedures.

During start-up, the analyzer performs a self-test, and checks the ac mains input for proper polarity (when applicable), ground integrity, and voltage level.

The high voltage indicator illuminates briefly during the start-up. If the ground is open, the analyzer shows this fault. If the analyzer model requires a certain polarity and this is not fulfilled, the user will get the option to reverse the polarity in the analyzer.

All LEDs will illuminate during the start-up. If any LED does not illuminate, contact technical support.

The analyzer can run the following tests on battery, without mains connected: Point to point, protective earth resistance, ECG and respiration simulations.

At the home screen, there are two options:

For running procedures, see “Procedures”.

For measurement sessions, see “Measurement types”.

The analyzer can perform several different types of measurements, depending on analyzer model and selected standard:

Mains voltage (Line voltage)

Protective earth resistance (Ground wire resistance)

Insulation resistance

Equipment current

Touch current

Earth leakage current (Ground wire leakage current)

Direct equipment leakage

Alternative equipment leakage

Patient leakage current (Lead to ground)

Mains on applied part leakage (Lead isolation)

Direct applied part leakage

Alternative applied part leakage

Point to point: voltage, leakage and resistance

Simulated ECG waveforms and respiration

1: Tabs with measurement types.

2: Measurement variant selection, when applicable.

3: Applied part configuration, when applicable.

4: Measurement settings, when applicable.

5: Measurement value.

6: Measure button, when applicable.

7: Equipment outlet configuration, when applicable.

8: Store the value in the ongoing measurement session.

9: Access the summary screen.

For some measurement types, the applied part posts can be used. The applied part posts can be activated and grouped in many ways. Learn more in “Custom applied parts setup”.

Depending on the selected measurement type, there may be some user-selectable options, such as leakage current mode (ac, dc or ac + dc), applied part posts (floating or earthed), voltage and duration.

Depending on the selected measurement type and variant, the equipment outlet may be configured in the following ways:

Polarity, normal or reversed

Neutral, open or closed

Earth, open or closed

The protective earth resistance and point to point resistance measurements require test leads to be nulled or zeroed.

To zero a test lead:

1. Make sure leads are inserted into the proper jack.

For protective earth resistance: Connect the test lead to the V/Ω/A jack. Connect the loose end of the lead to Ø/Null.

For point to point resistance: Connect test leads to both input jacks. Connect the loose ends of the test leads to each other.

2. Tap the zeroing button on the screen.

The screen will also guide you on proper zeroing procedures.

Note: Use supplied null post adapter when zeroing the test lead with an alligator clip.

To create a custom applied part setup:

1. Select a measurement type with applied part posts configuration.

2. Tap the applied part symbol at the top of the screen to open the applied parts setup screen.

3. You can create your own setup by editing group names, types, number of leads and indicate whether adapters will be used or not.

4. Go back to the measurement screen when done.

Up to three groups of applied parts can be tested at the same time. The groups have five, three and two posts, respectively. If a group is selected all posts from that group are active, independent of how many posts are configured. By merging two or three groups together, it is possible to measure leakage current with up to ten posts in one group.

Note: Refer to the test standard when deciding the type of the applied parts and how they should be grouped for testing.

The 1-to-10 adapter, an optional accessory, increases the number of lead or applied parts connections. The adapter connects a maximum of 10 leads together into one lead that is connected to one of the input jacks of the analyzer. The other input jacks can also be used in conjunction with the adapter. Even more leads can be added with multiple 1-to-10 adapters.

When a measurement value is displayed, you can tap the store button to store that measurement to the current measurement session.

In the upper right corner, the number of measurements stored to the current measurement session is visible. Tap that symbol to go the summary screen for the measurement session. From the summary screen, you can complete the session to store it as a result.

Mains voltage (Line voltage) measures the voltage on the mains input through three separate measurements of the electrical connection between the mains voltage supply and the analyzer.

To measure mains voltage:

1. Select the V tab.

2. The measured values are continuously updated on the screen.

The Protective earth resistance (Ground wire resistance) measures the impedance between the protective earth terminal of the equipment outlet and the exposed conductive parts of the device under test that are connected to the protective earth of the device under test.

To measure protective earth resistance:

5. The measured value is continuously updated on the screen.

Notes:

The zero level is important for this test. For more information on proper zero adjustment, see “Zeroing test leads”.

A negative resistance measurement indicates test leads need to be zeroed again.

A low resistance reading is required to confirm a good ground connection through the power cord. Refer to the appropriate electrical safety standard for the specific limit.

There are several insulation resistance measurement variants. The resistance is measured as:

Mains (L & N) to protective earth

Applied part to protective earth

Mains to applied part

Mains to non-earthed accessible conductive part

Applied part to non-earthed accessible conductive part

All insulation resistance tests can be done using 50 V, 100 V, 250 V, or 500 V dc, at a duration of 1 to 60 seconds.

The insulation resistance measurement is a timed test. The red indicator lights will turn off when the measurement is complete and the applied part posts become safe to handle.

To measure insulation resistance:

1. Select the MΩ tab.

2. Select the desired variant from the drop down menu. LEDs on the analyzer indicate connections for the selected variant.

Select the nominal mains voltage applicable for the measurement situation. Direct equipment leakage, alternative equipment leakage, direct applied part leakage and alternative applied part leakage values are scaled to the nominal mains voltage value.

The GFCI (Ground fault current interrupter) protects the device under test from excessive leakage current to earth, for example from a short circuit, when connected to the equipment outlet of the analyzer. When the GFCI trips, the power is removed from the equipment outlet. The analyzer continues to operate, but shows a message to the user. The GFCI limit setting has no effect when the equipment outlet is powered off.

Select unit to display when measuring protective earth resistance and point to point resistance. This setting does not affect procedures.

The polarity switching delay is the shortest time the equipment outlet is powered off when switching polarity. Use a longer delay to protect the internal components of the analyzer from transient effects. Transient effects can occur when the device under test has a highly capacitive or inductive power supply. These types of power supplies exist in larger devices, e.g. ultrasound, dialysis, and portable X-ray machines. If you think the device under test has a highly capacitive or inductive power supply, increase the polarity switch delay to at least 5 seconds. The increased time will allow the device under test to self-discharge safely. This setting does not affect procedures.
