Setting the Test Standard
The Analyzer is designed to perform electrical safety
testing based on a number of different safety standards:
AAMI ES1/NFPA99, IEC62353, IEC60601-1, and
AN/NZS 3551. AAMI is the Analyzer’s default standard.
To select another standard:
1. Press Q.
2. From the setup menu, press the softkey labeled
More to reveal additional menu selections.
3. Press the softkey labeled Instrument to reveal the
instrument setup selections.
4. Press the softkey labeled Standard to open the
scroll box above the softkey label.
5. Press G or H to scroll through the standard
selections.
6. When the desired standard is displayed, press the
softkey labeled Done.
Some electrical tests may not be applicable for a specific
standard. In these cases, the Analyzer’s menu will not
display the excluded test as a selection.
Performing Mains Voltage Testing
The Mains Voltage test measures the voltage on the
mains input through three separate measurements. To
access the Mains Voltage test, press V. The Mains
Voltage test menu is shown in Figure 7.

Press each function softkey to perform each of the three
measurements: Live to neutral, neutral to earth, and live
to earth.
Note
Power to the test receptacle is off during the
Mains Voltage test.
Performing a Ground Wire (Protective Earth)
Resistance Test
The Ground Wire (Protective-Earth) Resistance test
measures the impedance between the Analyzer’s test
receptacle’s PE terminal and the exposed conductive
parts of the DUT that are connected to the DUT’s
Protective Earth.
