ES601Plus OPERATING MANUAL
When one of the "-BAT" safety standards is selected on the MANUAL MODE menu, buttons for LINE
VOLTAGE; LOAD CURRENT; and PROTECTIVE EARTH are removed from the menu, leaving just
the LEAKAGE CURRENT and INSULATION RESISTANCE buttons, and other buttons related to
saving or reviewing test data.
Any of the above safety standards may be programmed as the MANUAL MODE default. The MANUAL
MODE default is selected by ES601Plus at power-up, or if MANUAL MODE is entered from the
AUTOSEQUENCE MODE menu. If the safety standard is temporarily changed from the default, it
remains as set by the user for as long as ES601Plus remains operating in MANUAL MODE.
To program the MANUAL MODE default:
a.) select the desired default safety standard for the MANUAL MODE menu by pressing the
STANDARD button;
b.) press the SYSTEM SETTINGS button immediately after setting the standard; and
c.) return to the MANUAL MODE menu by pressing the EXIT button on the SYSTEM SETTINGS
menu.
The above procedure will program the default setting of the safety standard for the MANUAL MODE into
the non-volatile flash memory of ES601Plus. This default may be changed at any time by repeating the
above procedure.
5.4 Safety Limits
User-defined Safety Limits are an accessory option for ES601Plus. This accessory feature allows the user to
select the pass/fail limits to be applied for the given standard. This setting may be toggled between:
• Per Standard (default)
• User-Defined
Each of the primary safety standards (IEC60601; AAMI-ES1; VDE0751; IEC62353; and IEC61010) is
allocated one user-programmable table of limit values. The five user tables are maintained in the non-
volatile or "flash" memory of ES601Plus. Leakage and other limit values in these tables may be edited using
the optional Safety Limits Editor plug-in of the ES601pc software package.
Note: If the Safety Limits accessory option has not been installed in ES601Plus, pressing the LIMITS
button of Fig u re 16 will cause "(DISABLED)" to be displayed beside the button.
