The SA-2005-INTL and SA-2005-AUS Model Layouts are shown above, note that the only differences from the standard model are the Line cords and the DUT test
Receptacles.
Note: The RS-
232 connector isn’t shown for the SA-2005-AUS above, but is an available option (see previous section).

Display
The main information in the system is presented in the 3-1/2 digit LCD display. This data is provided as simple meter readings with the measurement units indicated to the right by one of four LED indicators.
Function Selection
Nine LEDs and two keys make up the Function Selection Section. The keys are up and down arrows. When depressed, they step the Analyzer through the available options.
The LED next to the currently selected option is illuminated.
Load Selection
The unit may either use the AAMI ES1-1993 or IEC 601 Test load for measurements.
This is selected by the Load Selection switch.
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 five 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 below 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 1-5 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.
6
Power Outlet Indicators
Three Neon indicators help verify the polarity and wiring of the wall receptacle that the
Safety Analyzer is plugged into.
Self-Test Snaps
There are two snaps on the side of the unit that allow for a quick self-test of the
Analyzer. They provide a fixed 1.0 Ohm resistance to Earth/Ground and a 100 µAmp leakage current source to Earth/Ground when the Chassis lead is applied and the
Analyzer set to the proper mode.
Connectors
There are two connectors for test cables on the unit. One is for the Chassis lead and the other is for one of two different leads used for external testing. The test cables simply plug into the sockets. There is a release pin on the cable plug that must be depressed to remove the cable.
Fuse
There is a fuse in the ground leg of the Analyzer Test Receptacle. This is to help prevent damage from excess ground current. It is located on the face for ease of replacement.
Test Receptacle
This receptacle is for the connection of the DUT. The Receptacle Rating depends on the specific Analyzer model. SA-2005 models use a Hospital Grade North
American/USA standard NEMA 5-20R receptacle rated 20 Amps @ 125 VAC. SA-
2005-INTL models use a universal international receptacle rated 20 Amps @ 250 VAC.
SA-2005-AUS models use an Australian-specific AU1-10R receptacle rated 10 Amps @
240 VAC. An external patch cord may be necessary to connect devices utilizing different types of plugs to the Analyzer receptacle.
Power Cord
The Power Cord, which is connected internally, provides power to both the Safety
Analyzer and the DUT through the Test Receptacle. The Power Cord varies depending on the Analyzer model. SA-2005 models use a NEMA 5-15P plug designed to plug into a NEMA 5-15R or 5-20R Receptacle. SA-2005-INTL models have a short IEC C20 plug for which a country-specific adapter cable must be connected
– See the following section for this information. SA-2005-AUS models use an Australian AU1-10P plug intended for operation with Australian and New Zealand AU1-10R Receptacles.

TESTING
The SA-2005 Models allow the user a great deal of flexibility in testing. Any of the basic tests can be run and in almost any sequence. The information in this section presents a systematic approach that is just one way to proceed. It is only presented as a guide and it is the responsibility of the user to establish which tests are required.
NOTICE
– PERFORMING TESTS
REFER TO DUT MANUFACTURER’S SERVICE MANUAL FOR
TEST PROCEDURES AND MEASUREMENT LIMITS
.
The Analyzer requires a good Earth/Ground connection for operation. It should be plugged into a “Hospital Grade” receptacle where available. This is necessary for both valid test results and personal safety.
Power Receptacle Confirmation
Once plugged in, the first step is to ensure that the wall receptacle the Safety Analyzer is plugged into is wired properly (120 VAC Non-Isolated Power Systems Only). There are three neon indicators in the unit that provide this confirmation. The REV indicator is red and the other two are green. If the two green indicators are on, the receptacle is wired correctly. If not, utilize the following patterns to help determine the problem. Do not proceed with any testing until you get only the two green lights.
NOTE: Neutral/Ground Reversal is not checked.
NOTE: These Indicators are valid only for 120 VAC Non-Isolated Power Systems.
Mains Voltage
With the Mains Voltage function selected, the display will show the Voltage that is present on the incoming power lines. This is measured from Line to Neutral. Note that the voltage may drop when the DUT is turned on. Ensure that this value is within the
DUT specifications.
9
Device Current
With the Device Current function selected, the display will show the current draw of the
DUT. The Receptacle should be configured with HOT-CLOSED, NEUTRAL-CLOSED,
GROUND-CLOSED and POLARITY-FWD. Refer to the Specifications section for current capacity and permitted duty cycle for this test mode.
Earth Resistance
With the Earth Resistance function selected, the display will show the resistance between the Chassis Test lead and Receptacle Earth/Ground. This resistance is a combination of the resistance within the DUT enclosure and the resistance of the
Earth/Ground Lead in the DUT power cord.
NOTE: This test has no meaning for equipment that does not use a grounded cord.
The test requires that the Chassis Test lead be plugged into the Chassis Connector.
The other end should be connected to a solid ground point on the DUT.
The display is in hundredths of
Ω and will read to 19.99 Ω. Over-range shows as
“1_ _ _”.
Earth/Ground Leakage Current
With the Earth/Ground Leakage function selected and the Ground-Open, the display will show the leakage current in the ground wire of the DUT.
NOTE: This test has no meaning for equipment that does not use a grounded cord.
Selecting this function automatically opens the connection to Earth/Ground and passes any leakage current through a 1000
Ω load with either AAMI ES1-1993 or IEC 601 frequency compensation as selected by the Load Selection switch.
Enclosure Leakage
With the Enclosure function selected, the display will show the leakage current between the Enclosure (Chassis) and Earth/Ground.
The test requires that the Chassis Test lead be plugged into the Chassis Connector.
The other end should be connected to a solid ground point on the DUT.
NOTE: If a non-conductive enclosure is used, a 200 cm
2
conductive foil pad should be used. This foil is to be placed in close contact with the enclosure and connected to the
Chassis Test lead.
Any leakage current will flow through the Chassis Test lead and then through a 1000
Ω load with either AAMI ES1-1993 or IEC 601 frequency compensation as selected by the
Load Selection switch.
10
Lead to Earth/Ground Leakage
With the Lead to Earth/Ground function selected, the display will show the leakage current between the selected lead and Earth/Ground.
Attach the patient leads to the connectors on the top of the Safety Analyzer. The Up and Down arrow keys may then be used to select any individual lead or all of the leads.
This test should be done for each lead individually and all leads together.
This test measures the leakage current that would flow through the leads if the patient were to come into contact with Earth/Ground.
Lead to Lead Leakage
With the Lead to Lead function selected, the display will show the leakage current between the selected Patient Lead and all other patient leads.
Attach the patient leads to the connectors on the top of the Safety Analyzer. The Up and Down arrow keys may then be used to select any individual lead. Internally, relays connect the leads as necessary. The LEDs indicate the selected lead.
This test should be done for each lead individually.
This test measures the current that would flow from a lead to other leads. Normally these are Auxiliary currents from bias, measurement and sensing circuits.
Lead Isolation
With the Lead Isolation function selected and the
“ISO” Test key depressed, the display will show the leakage current between the selected Patient Lead(s) and Earth/Ground.
WARNING
The SA-2005 applies 110% of line voltage to the
Patient leads or External test leads during the
Isolation test. Although this is current limited by a 121 kΩ internal resistor, per standard test specifications, care should be taken to prevent contact with this voltage. Do not touch the test leads, connections or DUT while depressing the
Isolation Test key.
Attach the patient leads to the connectors on the top of the Safety Analyzer. The Up and Down arrow keys may then be used to select any individual lead and all of the leads.
11
As each lead and then All leads are selected, depress and hold the
“ISO” Test key.
This will apply 110% of the line voltage through a 121 kΩ resistor to the selected lead(s) and measure the current that flows to Earth/Ground through a 1000
Ω load with either
AAMI ES1-1993 or IEC 601 frequency compensation as selected by the Load Selection switch.
This test is to be done for each lead individually and All leads together.
This test measures the leakage current that would flow through the lead(s) if the patient were to come into contact with Line voltage. This is referred to as MAP (MAINS on
Applied Parts).
Point to Point Measurements
The unit has the ability to measure Leakage Current, Isolation Leakage Current and
Resistance between two points, utilizing two test leads. These tests are separated because they use a slightly different setup than the previous tests.
Point to Point Leakage Current
With the External function selected, the display will show the leakage current between the test leads.
The test requires that the Chassis Test lead be plugged into the Chassis Connector and the External Test lead be plugged into the External Connector. The other ends of the leads are then attached to the points of interest.
Any current flowing between the test points is passed through a 1000
Ω load with either
AAMI ES1-1993 or IEC 601 frequency compensation as selected by the Load Selection switch.
Point to Point Isolation Leakage Current
WARNING
The SA-2005 applies 110% of line voltage to the
Patient leads or External test leads during the
Isolation test. Although this is current limited by a 121 kΩ internal resistor, per standard test specifications, care should be taken to prevent contact with this voltage. Do not touch the test leads, connections or DUT while depressing the
Isolation Test key.
With the External function selected and the
“ISO” Test key depressed, the display will show the isolation leakage current between the test leads.
12
The test requires that the Chassis Test lead be plugged into the Chassis Connector and the External Test lead be plugged into the External Connector. The other ends of the leads are then attached to the points of interest.
Depress and hold the Isolation Voltage key. This will apply 110% of the line voltage through a 121 kΩ resistor to the test leads and measure the current that flows through a
1000
Ω load with either AAMI ES1-1993 or IEC 601 frequency compensation as selected by the Load Selection switch.
Point to Point Resistance
With the Earth Resistance function selected, the display will show the resistance between the two test leads.
The test requires two Chassis Test leads, one in the Chassis Connector and the second in the External Connector. The opposite cable ends should be connected to the points of interest.
NOTE: Remove any device plugged into the Analyzer Test Receptacle. If there is a DC voltage present between the two test points, the reading may contain an error. This can be checked by reversing the connections. If the readings differ, average the two to get the actual resistance value.
13
COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL
The communication protocol provides a means to completely configure and use the
Analyzer from a PC or other device with RS-232 communications interface. This provides for hands free or automated operation of the equipment.
Communication Port
The Serial port is configured as 115,200 Baud Rate, 8 Data Bits, 1 Stop Bit, and No
Parity.
Command Syntax
The command description is broken into columns; the KEYWORD, the NODE and the
VALUE.
The KEYWORD provides the name of the command. The actual name of the command consists of one or more keywords since SCPI commands are based on a hierarchical structure, also known as a tree system.
In such a system, associated commands are grouped together under a common node in the hierarchy, analogous to the way leaves at a same level are connected at a common branch. This and similar branches are connected to fewer and thicker branches, until they meet at the root of the tree. The closer to the root, the higher a node is considered in the hierarchy. To activate a particular command, the full path to it must be specified.
This path is represented in the following tables by placing the highest node in the leftmost position. Further nodes are indented one position to the right, below the parent node.
The highest level node of a command is called the Keyword, followed by the Node, and then the value.
Some commands allow for reading and writing data and some commands are Read
Only. To indicate a read function, a question mark (?) is placed at the end of the command path. For example, to change the mode to Earth Resistance measurement,
“CONFigure:MODE ERESistance<cr>”, where <cr> indicates a carriage-return. To read the current operating mode of the device, a mode read command would be
“CONFigure:MODE?<cr>”, which would return the current operating mode of the device.
Lowercase letters indicate the long-form of the command (for example,
CONFigure:MODE MVOLtage) and can be omitted for simplification. Uppercase letters indicate the abbreviated, or short-form, of the commands and must be included
(for example, CONF:MODE MVOL).
All commands sent to the unit are terminated with a Carriage Return.
NOTE: Commands can be entered in either upper or lowercase or a mixture of the two,
14
uppercase and lowercase. Commands sent to the device are not case sensitive. Upper case characters in the command summary table below are used to show the shortened versions of the commands if available.
