Electrical Safety Analyzer
Intended Use
3
Inspect the Analyzer before using it. Do not
use the Analyzer if abnormal conditions of
any sort are noted (such as a faulty display,
broken case, etc.)
Inspect the test leads for damaged
insulation or exposed metal. Check test
lead continuity. Replace damaged leads
before using the Analyzer.
When testing, always be sure to keep your
fingers behind the safety barriers on the
test leads.
Never open the Analyzer's case. Dangerous
voltages are present. There are no user
replaceable parts in the Analyzer.
Have the Analyzer serviced only by
qualified personnel.
The Analyzer must be properly earthed.
Only use a supply socket that has a
protective earth contact. If there is any
doubt as to the effectiveness of the supply
socket earth, do not connect the Analyzer.
Do not use a two-conductor adapter or
extension cord; this will break the
protective ground connection.
Do not use the 15-20A adapter to power
devices rated in excess of 15A. Doing so
may overload the installation.
Use extreme caution when working with
voltages above 30 volts.
Use the proper terminals, functions and
ranges for the test being performed.
Do not touch metal parts of the device
under test (DUT) during analysis. The DUT
should be considered an electrical shock
hazard when connected to the Analyzer as
some tests involve high voltages, high
currents, and/or the removal of DUT earth
bond.
Intended Use
The Analyzer is intended for use by trained service
technicians to perform periodic inspections on a wide
range of medical equipment. The testing procedures are
menu-driven, and simple to operate.

XWWarning
To avoid shock hazard and for proper
Analyzer operation, 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.
Connect the Analyzer to a properly grounded three-prong
outlet. The Analyzer will not properly test a 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. But it can be used with
any power system that supplies the correct voltages for
single-phase and is grounded.
Connecting a DUT to the Analyzer
A Device Under Test (DUT) can be connected in a number
of different ways depending on the device and the number
of connections needed for a full electrical safety test.
Figure 4 shows a DUT connected to the test receptacle,
applied parts posts, and a separate connection to the
DUTs enclosure or protected earth ground.
Turning the Analyzer On
Note
To ensure the high voltage indicator is working,
look for it to illuminate during the power-up self
test.

During the self-test, the Analyzer checks its ac mains input
for proper polarity, ground integrity and voltage level. The
high voltage indicator illuminates briefly during the self
test. If the polarity is reversed, the Analyzer indicates this
condition and allows the polarity to be reversed internally.
If the ground is open, the Analyzer displays this fault. If the
mains voltage is too high or too low, the Analyzer displays
this fault and does not continue until the supply voltage is
corrected and the ESA620 power cycled off and then on
again.
Accessing the Analyzers Functions
For each test and setup function, the Analyzer uses a
series of menus to access various Analyzer test and setup
variables. As shown in Figure 5, the Analyzer indicates
various leakage current tests along the bottom of the
display. An Exit selection is also indicated as a way of
backing out of the leakage current tests. Pressing a
softkey (F1 through F5) under a specific test will cause the
analyzer to setup for or perform the selected test.

Controlling the Analyzer Remotely
Fluke Biomedical Ansur test automation software allows a
solutions-based approach to complete testing of the
medical device under test (DUT). Ansur helps create
standard work using the test template/sequence (which is
based on a user written test procedure), and integrates all
test results into a single test report which can be printed or
archived. Ansur allows for automatic comparisons to the
limits of the standard selected, indicating whether results
are passing or failing. Ansur manages test procedures by
allowing both manual and visual automated test
sequences.
The software works hand-in-hand with Fluke Biomedical
analyzers and simulators, creating a seamless integration
for:
Visual inspections
Preventive maintenance
Work procedures
Performance tests
Safety tests
Ansur software utilizes plug-in modules to work with a
wide array of Fluke Biomedical instruments. The plug-in
module is a software interface to the Ansur test program.
The plug-in modules are available for purchase as an
optional accessory. Plug-ins provide test elements used
by Ansur. This has the benefit of using the same user
interface for all analyzers and simulators supported by an
Ansur plug-in.
When a new Fluke Biomedical analyzer or simulator is
purchased, simply update your existing Ansur software by
installing a new plug-in. Each plug-in module works only
with the options and capabilities needed for the instrument
being tested.
Maintenance
The Analyzer needs little maintenance or special care.
However, treat it as a calibrated measuring instrument.
Avoid dropping or other mechanical abuse that could
cause a shift in the calibrated settings.
