Procedures
When running a complete performance verification, perform the tests in order
to ensure logical fault diagnosis. If the ventilator fails any performance
verification test, see “Performance Verification Troubleshooting/Repair” on
page 8-41 for troubleshooting instructions. Fill in the applicable parts of the
Performance Verification Data Form as each test is completed.
Electrical Safety (Test 1)
The electrical safety test verifies that the ground resistance and forward and
reverse leakage current are within specified limits.
Use the ground lug (equipotential) at the back of the ventilator to connect the
electrical safety analyzer to ventilator ground (refer to Figure 8-12). Include
the External Battery and Backup Battery (if installed) when performing
electrical safety testing.
1. Check that the ground resistance < 0.2 ohm (
Ω
).
2. Turn ventilator on and check that the cooling fans are operating
properly.
3. Check that the forward and reverse leakage current is < 100
microamperes (µA) for ventilators connected to 100-120 V), or < 300
µA for ventilators connected to 220-240 V.
