Rigel SafeTest 60 Instruction Manual –Revision 1.26
1 Introduction
The Rigel SafeTest 60 is a dedicated medical safety analyser, ideal for testing high volumes of
basic medical and laboratory equipment. A robust and reliable design ensures that the SafeTest
60 can withstand a busy schedule of testing medical equipment that does not require patient
lead testing, such as beds, hoists, infusion pumps, CPAP’s and centrifuges etc.
With a large colour display and a colour-coded user interface, it’s easy to select the required
tests with a single key press, whilst a fast step-through of the test routine makes the testing
process speedy and dependable. Whilst small, the SafeTest 60 includes a range of safety tests
to enable compliance with a range of international safety standards, including leakage testing to
IEC 60601, 62353 and 61010, earth bond testing to 62353 and 61010 (Annex F).
Full manual control offers the benefit of executing only those specific tests that are required and
provide the user with full control of the power cycles, making testing simple, easy and fast. An
automatic warning of secondary earth/ground paths ensures users are made aware when invalid
readings are made, thus ensuring correct and accurate test results first time, every time.

EARTHBOND TESTING
Each time the earthbond probe is placed on a new test point, the
zap circuit will be reactivated, ensuring accurate readings at
every measurement point.
Do not exceed the maximum permitted voltage of 30 V AC/DC with
respect to earth potential! Electric Shock danger!
To compensate for the test cable resistance, connect the test cable between the
black earthbond socket and the EUT earth, then press the button on the
front panel.
When the lead compensation is activated, the icon will appear on the
screen.
To remove the lead compensation, remove the probe and press the button.
