TM80 Telemetry Monitor Service Manual A-1
A Electrical Safety Inspection
A.1 Electrical Safety Tests for the TM80, BP10, and Central
charger
The following electrical safety tests are recommended as part of a comprehensive
preventive maintenance program. They are a proven means of detecting
abnormalities that, if undetected, could prove dangerous to either the patient or the
operator. Additional tests may be required according to local regulations.
All tests can be performed using commercially available safety analyzer test
equipment. These procedures assume the use of a 601PROXL International Safety
Analyzer or equivalent safety analyzer. Other popular testers complying with IEC
60601-1 used in Europe such as Fluke, Metron, or Gerb may require modifications to
the procedure. Follow the instructions of the analyzer manufacturer.
The consistent use of a safety analyzer as a routine step in closing a repair or
upgrade is emphasized as a mandatory step if an approved agency status is to be
maintained. The safety analyzer also proves to be an excellent troubleshooting tool
to detect abnormalities of line voltage and grounding, as well as total current loads.
