Safety Features and Precautions
The SECUTEST
®
SII test instrument has been manufactured and tested in
accordance with the following safety regulations:
IEC 61010-1 / DIN EN 61010-1 / VDE 0411-1 and DIN VDE 0404,
DIN VDE 0413 Part 2 and 4.
When used for its intended purpose, the safety of the user, the test
instrument and the device under test (electrical equipment or electrical
medical device) is assured.
Read the operating instructions carefully and completely before placing your test
instrument into service. Follow all instructions contained therein. Make sure that
the operating instructions are available to all users of the instrument.
Tests may only be performed by a qualified electrician or under the supervision
and direction of a qualified electrician. The user must be instructed by a qualified
electrician in the execution and evaluation of tests.
Note
☞
Manufacturers and importers of electrical medial devices must
provide documentation for the performance of maintenance by
trained personnel.
Observe the following safety precautions:
•
The instrument may only be connected to electrical systems with a
maximum of 230 V which are protected with a fuse or circuit breaker
with a maximum rating of 16 A.
•
Measurements within electrical systems are prohibited.
•
Be prepared for the occurrence of unexpected voltages at devices
under test (for example, capacitors can be dangerously charged).
•
Make certain that the measurement cables are in flawless condition,
e.g. no damage to insulation, no interruptions in cables or plugs etc.
•
Grip the test probe firmly, for example during insertion into a jack
socket. Tensioning at the coil cord may otherwise cause the test probe
to snap back resulting in possible injury.
•
Measuring of insulation resistance
(equivalent leakage current)
The test is conducted with up to 500 V, with a current limit of
I < 10 mA. However, when touching the terminals (L or N), you will get
an electric shock which, in turn, may lead to accidents.
Feature F01:
When connecting the DUT via jacks 1 to 3, special care
must be taken to avoid touching the open cables.
•
Leakage current measurement
During leakage current measurement it is essential to ensure that the
DUT is operated at mains voltage. Exposed conductive parts may be
subject to hazardous contact voltage during the test and may not be
touched under any cricumstances. (A mains shutdown takes place
when the leakage current exceeds approx. 10 mA).
Attention!
!
The function test may only be performed after the DUT has
successfully passed the safety test!
The measuring and test instrument may not be used:
•
If it demonstrates visible damage
•
With damaged connector cables, measuring cables or patient ports
•
If it no longer functions properly
•
After extraordinary stresses due to transport
In such cases, the instrument must be removed from operation and
secured against unintentional use.
