Setting the Test Standard

The Analyzer is designed to perform electrical safety
testing based on a number of different safety standards:
AAMI ES1/NFPA99, IEC62353, IEC60601-1, and
AN/NZS 3551. AAMI is the Analyzer’s default standard.
To select another standard:
1. Press

2. From the setup menu, press the softkey labeled

More to reveal additional menu selections.

3. Press the softkey labeled Instrument to reveal the

instrument setup selections.

4. Press the softkey labeled Standard to open the

scroll box above the softkey label.

5. Press

G

or H to scroll through the standard

selections.

6. When the desired standard is displayed, press the

softkey labeled Done.

Some electrical tests may not be applicable for a specific
standard. In these cases, the Analyzer’s menu will not
display the excluded test as a selection.

Performing Mains Voltage Testing

The Mains Voltage test measures the voltage on the
mains input through three separate measurements. To
access the Mains Voltage test, press V. The Mains
Voltage test menu is shown in Figure 7.

Mains Voltage test.

Performing a Ground Wire (Protective Earth)
Resistance Test

The Ground Wire (Protective-Earth) Resistance test
measures the impedance between the Analyzer’s test
receptacle’s PE terminal and the exposed conductive
parts of the DUT that are connected to the DUT’s
Protective Earth.
