Frequency/Time Confirmation
Accuracy requirement specification
Time accuracy is not specified in IEC 60601-2-25:2011. Based on the
requirements for the device under test, a time accuracy of ±1ms over a 100ms
period (equivalent to ±1%) should be sufficient.
General description of method
Connect a meter to terminals V1 and RL, using a meter which can detect
frequency from signals around 10mVrms.
To verify the frequency, the sine or square function can be utilized. The
selected frequency should be higher to allow accurate measurement. A
frequency of 40Hz is suitable for this purpose. The digital nature of the system
is that only one point needs to be confirmed.
Equipment required
Any suitable meter that can measure frequency with an uncertainty of ±0.2%
at 40Hz.
Method
1.
Select “Sine” from the “Other functions” section
2. Set the amplitude 10mVpp
3. Set the frequency to 40Hz
4.
Press the “Load” button
5.
Press the “Start” button
6. Connect the frequency meter to LEAD I monitor (if provided) or V1
7. Measure the frequency and confirm it is within ±1% of the setting

Standalone Behavior
To support subclause 202.6.2.1.10 and 202.6.2.6 in IEC60601-2-25. MECG
(with firmware version 2.3 or above) is kept outputting the CAL20110 signal
after power-on, and stopped outputting the signal after connecting to MECG
application
