Warnings and Cautions
A Warning identifies hazardous conditions and actions that could cause
bodily harm or death.
A Caution identifies conditions and actions that could damage the Analyzer,
the equipment under test, or cause permanent loss of data.
XW Warning
To avoid possible electrical shock or personal injury,
follow these guidelines:
•
Disconnect all patient connections before connecting
the device to be tested to the Analyzer. Continued
connection may jeopardize patient safety by possible
application of measurement currents.
•
Maintain care when making connections. Isolation test
uses 120 or 230 V ac applied to patient leads or to
external connections that are accessible to the tester.
Although the voltage is current limited to 1 mA is safe
for healthy intact skin contact, it can be felt and can
result in a startle reaction.
• Ensure the mains installation current rating is
adequate for the DUT (device under test). If the DUT
requires 20 A, the Analyzer must be powered by a 20 A
service to avoid overloading the mains installation
.
W Caution
To avoid possible damage to the Analyzer, follow these
guidelines:
•
Ensure that the DUT power requirements are within the
capabilities of the Analyzer, labeled as 15 A or 20 A at
120 V ac (depending on model purchased) and 10 A at
230 V ac. While the analyzers are equipped with
receptacles limiting access to devices of higher
ratings, the replacement cord set may have been
installed incorrectly.
