Display

The main information in the system is presented in the 3-1/2 digit LCD display. This
data is provided as simple meter readings with the measurement units indicated to the
right by one of four LED indicators.

Universal Patient Lead Connectors

The 10 Universal Patient Lead Connectors allow for 12 lead ECG simulation with
independent outputs. AHA and IEC color-coded labels are located on the face of the
unit to aid in connecting the corresponding U.S. and International Patient Leads.

Function Selection

Ten LEDs and two keys make up the Function Selection Section. The keys are up and
down arrows. When depressed, they step the Analyzer through the available options.
The LED next to the currently selected option is illuminated.

Load Selection

The unit may either use the AAMI ES1-1993 or IEC 601 Test load for measurements.
This is selected by the Load Selection switch.

7

Analyzer Test Receptacle Control

There are four keys and 8 LEDs in the Analyzer Test Receptacle Control Section. They
allow the manual control of the power connections that are made to the DUT. Internally,
a series of relays are switched by the microprocessor based on the keys that are
depressed. The LEDs indicate the current state of the power connections to the
Receptacle.

Note: The Forward/Reverse Polarity key has a safety delay feature, preventing damage
to the internal relays and the DUT. When the key is depressed, the DUT power is
disabled and the safety delay is activated. When this delay is complete, the internal
relays switch the polarity to the DUT and apply power. This delay allows any reactive
power stored in the DUT to self-discharge before the polarity is reversed.

Note: The unit will power up with the Neutral and Ground Closed, in Forward Polarity
and with the Hot Open. It is recommended that the unit be returned to this condition
when plugging and unplugging the DUT.

Patient Lead Control

There are ten patient leads. During testing, it is necessary to select between these
leads, select all of them and apply High Voltage to them. This section provides the
control keys to do these test configurations and the LEDs to indicate the current state.

There is one LED and an internal relay for each lead. The LEDs and the markings to the
right of each LED indicate when that relay is on, thus selecting the indicated lead. The
Up and Down arrow keys sequentially select each lead in order and scroll through from
None, to 1-10 to All and around again.

To apply High Voltage to the leads, the “ISO” Test key is depressed. It is only active in
the Lead Isolation mode. It is a momentary key so that High Voltage is only applied
while the key is held down.

Waveform Selection

When the ECG Waveforms function is selected, the two keys and 10 LEDs become the
Waveform Selection Control Section. The markings on the left side of the LEDs are
used during these tests. The LEDs indicate which waveform is generated. The Up and
Down arrow keys sequentially select each waveform. The microprocessor sends the
selected waveform to a Digital to Analog converter that generates an accurate analog
representation. This waveform is then sent through a resistor network, developing the
appropriate signals on the output terminals.

Power Outlet Indicators

Three Neon indicators help verify the polarity and wiring of the wall receptacle that the
Safety Analyzer is plugged into.

8

HI Level Output (+)

A HI Level connector is located on the side of the unit for the high level ECG output
signal (1 V p-p). The connection is between the High Level (+) snap and the RL (-) ECG
lead.

Self-Test Snaps

There are two snaps on the side of the unit that allow for a quick self-test of the
Analyzer. They provide a fixed 1.0 Ohm resistance to Earth/Ground and a 100 µAmp
leakage current source to Earth/Ground when the Chassis lead is applied and the
Analyzer set to the proper mode.

Connectors

There are two connectors for test cables on the unit. One is for the Chassis lead and
the other is for one of two different leads used for external testing. The test cables
simply plug into the sockets. There is a release pin on the cable plug that must be
depressed to remove the cable.

Fuse

There is a fuse in the ground leg of the Analyzer Test Receptacle. This is to help
prevent damage from excess ground current. It is located on the face for ease of
replacement.

Test Receptacle

This receptacle is for the connection of the DUT. The Receptacle Rating depends on
the specific Analyzer model. SA-2010S models use a Hospital Grade North
American/USA standard NEMA 5-20R receptacle rated 20 Amps @ 125 VAC. SA­2010S-INTL models use a universal international receptacle rated 20 Amps @ 250
VAC. SA-2010S-AUS models use an Australian-specific AU1-10R receptacle rated 10
Amps @ 240 VAC. An external patch cord may be necessary to connect devices
utilizing different types of plugs to the Analyzer receptacle.

Power Cord

The Power Cord, which is connected internally, provides power to both the Safety
Analyzer and the DUT through the Test Receptacle. The Power Cord varies depending
on the Analyzer model. SA-2010S models use a NEMA 5-15P plug designed to plug
into a NEMA 5-15R or 5-20R Receptacle. SA-2010S-INTL models have a short IEC
C20 plug for which a country-specific adapter cable must be connected – See the
following section for this information. SA-2010S-AUS models use an Australian AU1­10P plug intended for operation with Australian and New Zealand AU1-10R
Receptacles.

TESTING

NOTICE – PERFORMING TESTS

The SA-2010S Models allow the user a great deal of flexibility in testing. Any of the
basic tests can be run and in almost any sequence. The information in this section
presents a systematic approach that is just one way to proceed. It is only presented as
a guide and it is the responsibility of the user to establish which tests are required.

REFER TO DUT MANUFACTURER’S SERVICE MANUAL FOR

TEST PROCEDURES AND MEASUREMENT LIMITS.

The Analyzer requires a good Earth/Ground connection for operation. It should be
plugged into a “Hospital Grade” receptacle where available. This is necessary for both
valid test results and personal safety.

Power Receptacle Confirmation

Once plugged in, the first step is to ensure that the wall receptacle the Safety Analyzer
is plugged into is wired properly (120 VAC Non-Isolated Power Systems Only). There
are three neon indicators in the unit that provide this confirmation. The REV indicator is
red and the other two are green. If the two green indicators are on, the receptacle is
wired correctly. If not, utilize the following patterns to help determine the problem. Do
not proceed with any testing until you get only the two green lights.

NOTE: Neutral/Ground Reversal is not checked.

NOTE: These Indicators are valid only for 120 VAC Non-Isolated Power Systems.

Mains Voltage

With the Mains Voltage function selected, the display will show the Voltage that is
present on the incoming power lines. This is measured from Line to Neutral. Note that
the voltage may drop when the DUT is turned on. Ensure that this value is within the
DUT specifications.

11

Device Current

With the Device Current function selected, the display will show the current draw of the
DUT. The Receptacle should be configured with HOT-CLOSED, NEUTRAL-CLOSED,
GROUND-CLOSED and POLARITY-FWD. Refer to the Specifications section for
current capacity and permitted duty cycle for this test mode.

Earth Resistance

With the Earth Resistance function selected, the display will show the resistance
between the Chassis Test lead and Receptacle Earth/Ground. This resistance is a
combination of the resistance within the DUT enclosure and the resistance of the
Earth/Ground Lead in the DUT power cord.

NOTE: This test has no meaning for equipment that does not use a grounded cord.
The test requires that the Chassis Test lead be plugged into the Chassis Connector.

The other end should be connected to a solid ground point on the DUT.
The display is in hundredths of Ω and will read to 19.99 Ω. Over-range shows as

“1_ _ _”.

Earth/Ground Leakage Current

With the Earth/Ground Leakage function selected and the Ground-Open, the display will
show the leakage current in the ground wire of the DUT.

NOTE: This test has no meaning for equipment that does not use a grounded cord.
Selecting this function automatically opens the connection to Earth/Ground and passes

any leakage current through a 1000 Ω load with either AAMI ES1-1993 or IEC 601
frequency compensation as selected by the Load Selection switch.

Enclosure Leakage

With the Enclosure function selected, the display will show the leakage current between
the Enclosure (Chassis) and Earth/Ground.

The test requires that the Chassis Test lead be plugged into the Chassis Connector.
The other end should be connected to a solid ground point on the DUT.

NOTE: If a non-conductive enclosure is used, a 200 cm2 conductive foil pad should be
used. This foil is to be placed in close contact with the enclosure and connected to the
Chassis Test lead.

Any leakage current will flow through the Chassis Test lead and then through a 1000 Ω
load with either AAMI ES1-1993 or IEC 601 frequency compensation as selected by the
Load Selection switch.

12

WARNING

The SA-2010S applies 110% of line voltage to the

Isolation test. Although this is current limited by

Isolation Test key.

Lead to Earth/Ground Leakage

With the Lead to Earth/Ground function selected, the display will show the leakage
current between the selected lead and Earth/Ground.

Attach the patient leads to the connectors on the top of the Safety Analyzer. The Up
and Down arrow keys may then be used to select any individual lead or all of the leads.

This test should be done for each lead individually and all leads together.
This test measures the leakage current that would flow through the leads if the patient

were to come into contact with Earth/Ground.

Lead to Lead Leakage

With the Lead to Lead function selected, the display will show the leakage current
between the selected Patient Lead and all other patient leads.

Attach the patient leads to the connectors on the top of the Safety Analyzer. The Up
and Down arrow keys may then be used to select any individual lead. Internally, relays
connect the leads as necessary. The LEDs indicate the selected lead.

This test should be done for each lead individually.
This test measures the current that would flow from a lead to other leads. Normally

these are Auxiliary currents from bias, measurement and sensing circuits.

Lead Isolation

With the Lead Isolation function selected and the “ISO” Test key depressed, the display
will show the leakage current between the selected Patient Lead(s) and Earth/Ground.

Attach the patient leads to the connectors on the top of the Safety Analyzer. The Up
and Down arrow keys may then be used to select any individual lead and all of the
leads.

Patient leads or External test leads during the

a 121 kΩ internal resistor, per standard test

specifications, care should be taken to prevent
contact with this voltage. Do not touch the test

leads, connections or DUT while depressing the

13

WARNING

The SA-2010S applies 110% of line voltage to the

Isolation test. Although this is current limited by

Isolation Test key.

As each lead and then All leads are selected, depress and hold the “ISO” Test key.
This will apply 110% of the line voltage through a 121 kΩ resistor to the selected lead(s)
and measure the current that flows to Earth/Ground through a 1000 Ω load with either
AAMI ES1-1993 or IEC 601 frequency compensation as selected by the Load Selection
switch.

This test is to be done for each lead individually and All leads together.
This test measures the leakage current that would flow through the lead(s) if the patient

were to come into contact with Line voltage. This is referred to as MAP (MAINS on
Applied Parts).

Point to Point Measurements

The unit has the ability to measure Leakage Current, Isolation Leakage Current and
Resistance between two points, utilizing two test leads. These tests are separated
because they use a slightly different setup than the previous tests.

Point to Point Leakage Current

With the External function selected, the display will show the leakage current between
the test leads.

The test requires that the Chassis Test lead be plugged into the Chassis Connector and
the External Test lead be plugged into the External Connector. The other ends of the
leads are then attached to the points of interest.

Any current flowing between the test points is passed through a 1000 Ω load with either
AAMI ES1-1993 or IEC 601 frequency compensation as selected by the Load Selection
switch.

Point to Point Isolation Leakage Current

With the External function selected and the “ISO” Test key depressed, the display will
show the isolation leakage current between the test leads.

Patient leads or External test leads during the

a 121 kΩ internal resistor, per standard test

specifications, care should be taken to prevent

contact with this voltage. Do not touch the test

leads, connections or DUT while depressing the

14

The test requires that the Chassis Test lead be plugged into the Chassis Connector and
the External Test lead be plugged into the External Connector. The other ends of the
leads are then attached to the points of interest.

Depress and hold the Isolation Voltage key. This will apply 110% of the line voltage
through a 121 kΩ resistor to the test leads and measure the current that flows through a
1000 Ω load with either AAMI ES1-1993 or IEC 601 frequency compensation as
selected by the Load Selection switch.

Point to Point Resistance

With the Earth Resistance function selected, the display will show the resistance
between the two test leads.

The test requires two Chassis Test leads, one in the Chassis Connector and the second
in the External Connector. The opposite cable ends should be connected to the points
of interest.

NOTE: Remove any device plugged into the Analyzer Test Receptacle. If there is a DC
voltage present between the two test points, the reading may contain an error. This can
be checked by reversing the connections. If the readings differ, average the two to get
the actual resistance value.

The communication protocol provides a means to completely configure and use the
Analyzer from a PC or other device with RS-232 communications interface. This
provides for hands free or automated operation of the equipment.

Communication Port

The Serial port is configured as 115,200 Baud Rate, 8 Data Bits, 1 Stop Bit, and No
Parity.

Command Syntax

The command description is broken into columns; the KEYWORD, the NODE and the
VALUE.

The KEYWORD provides the name of the command. The actual name of the command
consists of one or more keywords since SCPI commands are based on a hierarchical
structure, also known as a tree system.

In such a system, associated commands are grouped together under a common node in
the hierarchy, analogous to the way leaves at a same level are connected at a common
branch. This and similar branches are connected to fewer and thicker branches, until
they meet at the root of the tree. The closer to the root, the higher a node is considered
in the hierarchy. To activate a particular command, the full path to it must be specified.

This path is represented in the following tables by placing the highest node in the left­most position. Further nodes are indented one position to the right, below the parent
node.

The highest level node of a command is called the Keyword, followed by the Node, and
then the value.

Some commands allow for reading and writing data and some commands are Read
Only. To indicate a read function, a question mark (?) is placed at the end of the
command path. For example, to change the mode to Earth Resistance measurement,
“CONFigure:MODE ERESistance<cr>”, where <cr> indicates a carriage-return. To read
the current operating mode of the device, a mode read command would be
“CONFigure:MODE?<cr>”, which would return the current operating mode of the device.

Lowercase letters indicate the long-form of the command (for example,
CONFigure:MODE ECGwaveforms) and can be omitted for simplification. Uppercase
letters indicate the abbreviated, or short-form, of the commands and must be included
(for example, CONF:MODE ECG).

All commands sent to the unit are terminated with a Carriage Return.
NOTE: Commands can be entered in either upper or lowercase or a mixture of the two,
