ESU Tests with the Analyzer
15
Access these tests using the following steps:
1.
Press F2 until an asterisk (*) symbol appears
following ‘Mode’.
2.
Rotate the encoder knob until the required test mode
appears on the screen, and then press the Enter
key.
Power Output Tests
You can conduct power output tests with the Analyzer in
the Continuous Operation, Single Operation, or Power
Distribution mode. These tests check the power output
characteristics of the ESU and provide output current (A),
power (W), peak-to-peak voltage (V), and crest factor
values.
The following standards and setup diagram apply to any
of the power output test modes.
Note
Do not reduce the power output by more than
that specified in IEC 601-2-2, Third edition
1998-09. The power output must be within the
range specified in ANSI/AAMI HF18-2001.
Figure 4 shows a test setup for ESU power output using
the Analyzer foot switch trigger. You can use the same
red and black connections with the ESU triggered by its
foot switch or hand switch. Refer to Table 3 for load
resistance settings.

Warning
No probes or accessories supplied with the
Analyzer are intended for handheld use.
