Warranty and Product Support
Fluke Biomedical warrants this instrument against defects in materials and workmanship for one year from the date of original purchase OR
two years if at the end of your first year you send the instrument to a Fluke Biomedical service center for calibration. You will be charged
our customary fee for such calibration. During the warranty period, we will repair or at our option replace, at no charge, a product that proves
to be defective, provided you return the product, shipping prepaid, to Fluke Biomedical. This warranty covers the original purchaser only and
is not transferable. The warranty does not apply if the product has been damaged by accident or misuse or has been serviced or modified
by anyone other than an authorized Fluke Biomedical service facility. NO OTHER WARRANTIES, SUCH AS FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. FLUKE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT,
INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA, ARISING FROM ANY CAUSE OR THEORY.
This warranty covers only serialized products and their accessory items that bear a distinct serial number tag. Recalibration of instruments is
not covered under the warranty.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights that vary in different jurisdictions. Since some jurisdictions
do not allow the exclusion or limitation of an implied warranty or of incidental or consequential damages, this limitation of liability may not
apply to you. If any provision of this warranty is held invalid or unenforceable by a court or other decision-maker of competent jurisdiction,
such holding will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.

Electrical Safety Analyzer
Introduction
The Fluke Biomedical ESA609 Electrical Safety Analyzer
(the Analyzer) is a full-featured, compact, portable
analyzer that verifies the electrical safety of medical
devices. The Analyzer tests to domestic (ANSI/AAMI ES1,
NFPA 99) and international (and parts of IEC 62353 and
IEC 60601-1) electrical-safety standards. The integrated
ANSI/AAMI ES1 and IEC 60601-1 patient loads are easy
to select.
The Analyzer does the following tests:
•Line (Mains) voltage
•Ground Wire (or Protective Earth) Resistance
•Equipment current
•Ground Wire (Earth) leakage
•Chassis (Enclosure) leakage
•Direct equipment leakage
•Point to point leakage and resistance
Intended Use
The Product is an electronic signal source and
measurement device for verifying the electrical safety of
medical devices.
The intended user is a trained biomedical equipment
technician who performs periodic preventative
maintenance checks on medical equipment in service.
Users can be associated with hospitals, clinics, original
equipment manufacturers and independent service
companies that repair and service medical equipment. The
end user is an individual, trained in medical
instrumentation technology.
This Product is intended to be used in the laboratory
environment, outside of the patient care area, and is not
intended for use on patients, or to test devices while
connected to patients. This Product is not intended to be
used to calibrate medical equipment. It is intended for
over-the-counter use.

 Warning
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or
personal injury, follow these guidelines:
•Read all safety information before you use
the Product.
•Use the Product only as specified, or the
protection supplied by the Product can be
compromised.
•Do not connect to live output terminals.
The Product can supply voltages that can
cause death. Standby mode is not
sufficient to prevent electrical shock.
•Do not apply more than the rated voltage,
between the terminals or between each
terminal and earth ground.
•Limit operation to the specified
measurement category, voltage, or
amperage ratings.
•Use Product-approved measurement
category (CAT), voltage, and amperage
rated accessories (probes, test leads, and
adapters) for all measurements.
•Measure a known voltage first to make
sure that the Product operates correctly.
•Use the correct terminals, function, and
range for measurements.
•Do not touch voltages > 30 V ac rms, 42 V
ac peak, or 60 V dc.
•Do not use the Product around explosive
gas, vapor, or in damp or wet
environments.
•Do not use the Product if it is damaged.
•Disable the Product if it is damaged, by
removing the power cord and fuses.
•Do not use the Product if it operates
incorrectly.
•Examine the case before you use the
Product. Look for cracks or missing
plastic. Carefully look at the insulation
around the terminals.
•Do not use test leads if they are damaged.
Examine the test leads for damaged
insulation, exposed metal, or if the wear
indicator shows. Check test lead
continuity.
•Use this Product indoors only.

•Use only the mains power cord and
connector approved for the voltage and
plug configuration in your country and
rated for the Product.
•Make sure the ground conductor in the
mains power cord is connected to a
protective earth ground. Disruption of the
protective earth could put voltage on the
chassis that could cause death.
•Replace the mains power cord if the
insulation is damaged or if the insulation
shows signs of wear.
•Connect the common test lead before the
live test lead and remove the live test lead
before the common test lead.
•Keep fingers behind the finger guards on
the probes.
•Do not use test leads if they are damaged.
Examine the test leads for damaged
insulation and measure a known voltage.
•Do not use a current measurement as an
indication that a circuit is safe to touch. A
voltage measurement is necessary to know
if a circuit is hazardous.
Unpacking the Analyzer
Carefully unpack all items from the box and check that you
have the following items:
•ESA609
•Safety Sheet
•Users Manual CD
•Carrying case
•Power cord
•ESA USA Accessory Kit (USA, Australia, and Israel
only)

Warning
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or
personal injury, do not use an extension cord
or adapter plug.
Connect the Analyzer to a properly grounded three-prong
outlet. The Analyzer will not properly test a DUT when the
ground lead is open.
The Analyzer is intended for use with single-phase,
grounded power. It is not intended for dual, split-phase or
three-phase power configurations. But it can be used with
any power system that supplies the correct voltages for
single-phase and is grounded.
