Safety information
WARNING! For safety reasons (personnel protection) the test specimen should
generally be operated by a suitable isolating transformer.
An exceptional case is the tests for grounded conductor resistance,
ground leakage current, and patient leakage current, in which the test
specimen is supplied with current via the safety tester.
ATTENTION! In the event of a fault occurring in the test specimen or individual com-
ponents during the technical safety check the test steps taken so far no
longer apply.
Remedy the defect and repeat the technical safety check from the
beginning.
ATTENTION! The specifications made in this chapter for test programs / test pro-
gram settings allow the service technician to perform the technical
safety check. In addition, the test program mode provides a number of
diagnostic and inspection options for the service technician. They are
described in the repair manual. Erbe Elektromedizin expressly states
that the full functional range of the test program mode may not be
used without precise knowledge of the individual test programs.

IMPORTANT! It is assumed that the user knows how to operate the test specimen,
the test equipment, the measuring equipment, and auxiliary test equip-
ment. The test instructions only apply in conjunction with the relevant
test steps.
IMPORTANT! The test report for the technical safety check can be requested from
Erbe Technical Service Tübingen. For the address see address sheet on
last page.

Test procedure
1. Start safety tester in the "Insulation resistance" function The mea-
sured value displayed should be >200 MOhm.
2. Start test specimen and select the test progam "TP relay".

specimen with "All switch on". The measurement value displayed on
the safety tester has to drop considerably from >200 MOhm.
4. Determine insulation resistance using the safety tester. The measured
value must be >2 MOhm.
