IMPORTANT
UNITS OF MEASURE—The specified leakage tester (E278-06) measures
in mV. There is a direct correlation of mV to μA. In other words, on this
text fixture, 1 mV = 1 μA.
220/230/240 VAC POWER CORD—For 220/230/240 VAC testing, use
only P/N 600034 line cord to power the E278-06 test fixture.
Initial Conditions
1. Attach the monitor power cord to the leakage test fixture.
2. Verify that the leakage test fixture’s main AC power cord is attached.
AC Line
1. With the leakage tester connected to power, connect the monitor’s power cord
to the leakage tester and turn monitor power on.
2. Select the leakage tester’s setting to measure the line voltage.
3. Record the resulting reading in Electrical Safety section of the Preventative
Maintenance Report.
Ground Impedance
1. With the leakage tester connected to power, connect the monitor’s power cord
to the leakage tester and turn monitor power on.
2. Select the leakage tester’s setting to measure resistance.
