Safety Information

• Do not use the Product around explosive
gas, vapor, or in damp or wet
environments.

• Do not use an extension cord or adapter
plug.

• Do not connect the Product to a patient
or equipment connected to a patient. The
Product is intended for equipment
evaluation only. The Product must not be
used in diagnostics, treatment, or other
capacities where the Product could
touch a patient.

• Remove the null post adapter from the
∅/Null jack after a test lead zero is

performed. The ∅/Null jack becomes
potentially hazardous during some of the
test conditions. Use only cables with
correct voltage ratings.

• Keep fingers behind the finger guards on
the probes.

• Do not use the 15-20 A adapter to supply
power to devices rated more than 15 A.

Set the GFCI Limit

The GFCI (Ground Fault Current Interrupter) protects the
DUT from short circuits when it is connected to the test
receptacle of the Analyzer. (The GFCI has no effect
during Insulation testing, Ground Wire Resistance testing,
and Voltage testing because the test receptacle is not
connected to mains power for these tests.) When the
GFCI trips, it removes power from the test receptacle,
and also the DUT, by opening the relays. The Analyzer
continues to operate and shows “Fault Detected” with an
explanation.

The Analyzer uses the GFCI setting for the standard the
user selected for testing. For best results, verify the GFCI
setting in the Setup menu. The AAMI standard specifies
5 mA. Other standards specify 10 mA. The 25 mA setting
is a special case that is not defined in any standard.

number of lead or applied parts connections to the Product
from 5 to 14. The adapter connects a maximum of
10 leads together into a one lead that is connected to one
of the input jacks of the Product. The other four Product
input jacks can also be used in conjunction with the
Adapter. More leads can be added with multiple 1-to-10
Adapters.

The example in Figure 20 shows one application of the
Adapter. The Defibrillator/Monitor in the example has 10
ECG leads, two pacer leads, and two defibrillator paddles
which must be connected together, and in groups if single
function, for current leakage. The example shows the ECG
leads to be snap type connectors and two BJ2ECG
adapters are shown connected to the Adapter. If the ECG
leads do not have snap connectors, then the Universal
Snap to Banana Adapter can be used to make the
