ES601Plus OPERATING MANUAL
Symbol Definitions
The following symbols may be found on ES601:
CONSULT MANUAL FOR PROPER OPERATION
The operating manual provides valuable information on the proper use of ES601Plus. It is highly recommended
the operator read the instructions thoroughly before operating the device. It is possible to damage the Device
Under Test (DUT) and/or cause harm to the operator if ES601Plus is used incorrectly.
AUX1: LINE VOLTAGE TO FLOATING I/O ~264V max
During testing of the isolation of (floating) input/output connections on the DUT, an AC voltage of 110% of the
line voltage is applied to the AUX1 (CAT I) connector (Yellow 4mm banana jack), which is connected to the
(floating) input/output connector(s). This AC voltage may reach a maximum of ~264 VAC and, while current
limited, represents a serious shock hazard to the operator. Proper precautions should be taken when performing
a test which includes the application of this voltage to the (floating) input/output connector(s). When a hazardous
voltage is present at the AUX1 connector, a red LED adjacent to the AUX1 connector will be ON .
APPLIED PARTS: Hazardous Voltage: 264 VAC or 500 VDC max
This warning appears on the Applied Parts label on the front of ES601Plus. During testing of the isolation of the
DUT Applied Parts with respect to either ground, or to the power input leads, a voltage of either 110% of the AC
line voltage or 500 VDC may be present on the Applied Parts (CAT I) connectors. This voltage may reach a
maximum of ~264 VAC or 500 VDC and, while current limited, represents a serious shock hazard to the operator.
Proper precautions should be taken when performing a test which includes the application of this voltage to the
Applied Parts connectors. When a hazardous voltage is present at the Applied Parts connectors, a red LED
adjacent to the warning on the Applied Parts label will be ON .
These warnings appear on the serial number label of ES601Plus. ES601Plus contains hazardous electrical
voltages internally which WILL BE present when the covers are removed. The operator should read the Operating
Manual to determine what actions to take in the event of failure of ES601Plus. Refer to the Troubleshooting and
Maintenance Section of the Operating Manual.
Definitions # Page xii
ES601Plus OPERATING MANUAL
Kelvin Cable
The Kelvin Cable (CAT I) is used to measure the Protective Earth Resistance, using either a 1A DC current or
a 25A AC current (optional). The voltage present at these terminals is low, but the 25A AC current can present
a potential hazard if used incorrectly. Consult the Operating Manual for the proper operation of the Protective
Earth Resistance test.
DO NOT EXCEED THE FOLLOWING CURRENT LOAD ON THE D.U.T .
RECEPTACLE:
The regulatory requirements for loading a circuit (cct.) in a power distribution system sets a current limit on any
individual receptacle to 80% of the value of the circuit breaker on that circuit. For instance, in a circuit with a 15A
circuit breaker (or fuse), the maximum current allowed to be drawn from any individual receptacle is 12A.
Allowing 1A for the ES601Plus circuitry, the load current for the Device Under Test (D.U.T.) should not exceed
11A. These limits are set by the Electrical Code in most jurisdictions in an attempt to avoid unexpected circuit
overloads and subsequent circuit failure. If the D.U.T. load is expected to approach the maximum value on a
routine basis, it is recommended that a circuit with only a single receptacle be provided for use with ES601Plus.
WARNING: OPENING THE ES601Plus MAY COMPROMISE USER SAFETY.
REFER SERVICING TO DATREND AUTHORIZED AGENT.
ES601Plus is a complex instrument which contains internally distributed line voltages and other high voltages for
specific measurement purposes. Failure to observe appropriate measures when the instrument has been
opened, or failure to reassemble correctly may compromise the safety of the user.
WARNING: GROUNDING CIRCUIT CONTINUITY IS VITAL FOR SAFE
OPERATION. NEVER OPERATE THE ES601Plus WITH GROUNDING
CONDUCTOR DISCONNECTED.
Proper grounding is essential to ensure operator safety. Do not bypass the grounding provisions inherent in the
design of ES601Plus, otherwise, the operator may be subjected to an electrical shock risk.
Definitions # Page xiii
ES601Plus OPERATING MANUAL
WARNING: HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES OR CONDITIONS MAY EXIST DURING
TESTS. CONSULT THE ACCOMPANYING DOCUMENTS FOR APPROPRIATE
PRECAUTIONS.
During the execution of an electrical safety test on the D.U.T., ES601Plus may apply high voltages (up to 264 VAC
or 500 VDC) to the D.U.T. While these voltages are current limited, they do represent a shock hazard to the
operator if precautions are not followed. Consult the instructions in this manual regarding Mains on Applied Part
leakage current tests and Insulation Resistance tests for further information.

2.1 Testing Electrical Safety
ES601Plus performs a number of measurements related to testing the electrical safety of medical devices.
Electrical safety measurements performed by ES601Plus include:
2.1.1 Insulation Resistance
This is a test of the breakdown strength of electrical insulating materials that provide electrical isolation
between certain electrical conductors and the ground connection at the AC receptacle. At the AC line cord
of the DUT, ES601Plus applies a high voltage (500 VDC) between L1 and L2 shorted together, and the
ground. ES601Plus measures the resulting current and reports the test result as resistance in megohms. In a
variation of this test, ES601Plus applies the high voltage between the applied parts and the line cord ground
pin, and measures the resistance.
2.1.2 Protective Earth
In this test, ES601Plus will source one amp of DC current through the dead short circuit that should exist
from the ground pin on the line cord of the DUT to any exposed metal part on the DUT's enclosure. In
practice, the connection from the ground pin to the enclosure of the DUT has a non-zero resistance in the
range of 0.02 to 0.2 ohms, and this is what ES601Plus measures and reports as the test result.
To comply with requirements of various safety standards, ES601Plus performs this measurement twice: the
first resistance is measured with the DC test current sourced into the DUT enclosure and back through line
cord; a second resistance is then measured with the DC test current flowing through the DUT in the
opposite direction. The test result reported by ES601Plus is the larger of the two measurements.
When an ES601Plus with the factory installed Protective Earth Module (or "PETM") is used, an optional
variation of this measurement can be performed where the test current is 25 amps AC RMS, rather than 1
amp bipolar DC. The optional PETM allows protective earth tests to be performed in full accordance with
the requirements of the IEC60601 and IEC61010 safety standards. When an ES601Plus with PETM
conducts a 25A test, ten measurements are taken over a ten-second period. The highest result is reported
and saved in the Test Record.
Overview/Chapter 2 # Page 10
ES601Plus OPERATING MANUAL
By providing multiple measurement and point-to-point test modes, ES601Plus accommodates special test
requirements of permanently-installed equipment, and manufacturer-recommended protocols where
continuity of protective earth must be verified at several locations on the equipment. Multiple resistance
measurements and point-to-point testing can be enabled for manual tests or automated test sequences, and
with 1A or 25A test current for units equipped with PETM option.

b e sp e c ifie d w he n th e un it is o rd e re d.
2.1.3 Line Voltage
In this test, ES601Plus connects an internal voltmeter to the AC supply input and reports the AC RMS
voltages measured between L1 and L2, L1 and PE, and L2 and PE.
2.1.4 Load Current
To perform this measurement, ES601Plus connects an internal ammeter to the DUT and measures the
current it draws from the AC line when the DUT is powered up and running.
2.1.5 Leakage Current
Different safety standards require different types of leakage measurements to be performed. ES601Plus
focuses on medical device testing and implements the four general types of leakage measurement specified
in the IEC60601 and AAMI-ES1 standards. The alternative leakage measurements and the direct leakage
measurements of the VDE0751 and IEC62353 safety standards are also provided. ES601Plus can also
perform a leakage test according to the IEC61010 standard for laboratory instruments.
In all, ES601Plus incorporates measurements encompassing the requirements of nine different electrical
safety standards used worldwide.
In accordance with the IEC60601 and AAMI-ES1 safety standards, the types of leakage measurement
performed by ES601Plus are:
