Measure the resistance between the third pin of the attachment plug and any exposed metal parts on
the SafeLock Cart. The Ground wire resistance should be less than
0.2
Ohms. Refer to the procedure
in the IEC 601-1.1.

Ground Continuity Testing - Generic Procedure
NOTE:
Follow the steps below to test the Ground wire resistance.
If the test passes, there is no safety
risk. However, the input power cable should be tested with a substitute Safety Tester.
1.) Connect one of the Ohmmeter probes to the tested AC wall outlet cable side (Ground pin).
2.) Using the other Ohmmeter probe, touch the exposed metal part of the SafeLock Cart.
3) Set the meter
Function
switch to the
Resistance
position.
4) Measure and record the Ground wire resistance.
This should be less than 0.2 Ohms.
NOTE:
Since very low resistance is measured, the Ohmmeter probe resistance should be subtracted
from the reading.
NOTE:
Electrical leakage testing may be accomplished with any calibrated Electrical Safety Analyzer
tool compliant with AAMI/ESI 1993 or IEC 60601 or AS/NZS 3551.
