Analyzer Test Receptacle Control
There are four keys and 8 LEDs in the Analyzer Test Receptacle Control Section. They
allow the manual control of the power connections that are made to the DUT. Internally,
a series of relays are switched by the microprocessor based on the keys that are
depressed. The LEDs indicate the current state of the power connections to the
Receptacle.
Note: The Forward/Reverse Polarity key has a safety delay feature, preventing damage
to the internal relays and the DUT. When the key is depressed, the DUT power is
disabled and the safety delay is activated. When this delay is complete, the internal
relays switch the polarity to the DUT and apply power. This delay allows any reactive
power stored in the DUT to self-discharge before the polarity is reversed.
Note: The unit will power up with the Neutral and Ground Closed, in Forward Polarity
and with the Hot Open. It is recommended that the unit be returned to this condition
when plugging and unplugging the DUT.
Patient Lead Control
There are ten patient leads. During testing, it is necessary to select between these
leads, select all of them and apply High Voltage to them. This section provides the
control keys to do these test configurations and the LEDs to indicate the current state.
There is one LED and an internal relay for each lead. The LEDs and the markings to the
right of each LED indicate when that relay is on, thus selecting the indicated lead. The
Up and Down arrow keys sequentially select each lead in order and scroll through from
None, to 1-10 to All and around again.
To apply High Voltage to the leads, the “ISO” Test key is depressed. It is only active in
the Lead Isolation mode. It is a momentary key so that High Voltage is only applied
while the key is held down.
Waveform Selection
When the ECG Waveforms function is selected, the two keys and 10 LEDs become the
Waveform Selection Control Section. The markings on the left side of the LEDs are
used during these tests. The LEDs indicate which waveform is generated. The Up and
Down arrow keys sequentially select each waveform. The microprocessor sends the
selected waveform to a Digital to Analog converter that generates an accurate analog
representation. This waveform is then sent through a resistor network, developing the
appropriate signals on the output terminals.
Power Outlet Indicators
Three Neon indicators help verify the polarity and wiring of the wall receptacle that the
Safety Analyzer is plugged into.
