GMC-I Messtechnik GmbH 5
Applications and Classification of Devices Under Test
1 Applications
The measuring instrument is intended for quick, safe
measurement of repaired or modified electrical medical devices
and their components (e.g. applications parts) in accordance with
IEC 62353.
Adherence to technical safety requirements assures safe handling
of electrical medical devices for users of the measuring
instrument. The safety of the patient is also assured during use of
tested electrical medical devices.
Use for Intended Purpose
The measuring instrument can be used as a benchtop device
which must be isolated and set up on a solid base while
measurements are being performed.
Only those measurements which are described in the following
chapters may be performed with the measuring instrument.
The measuring instrument, including the measuring probe,
may only be used within the specified measuring category (see
page 8, as well as the table below regarding significance).
Overload limits may not be exceeded. See technical data on
page 30 for overload values and overload limits.
Measurements may only be performed under the specified
ambient conditions. See page 32 regarding operating temper-
ature range and relative humidity.
The measuring instrument may only be used in accordance
with the specified degree of protection (see page 33).
Measuring Categories and their Significance per IEC 61010-1
Attention!
!
The measuring instrument may not be used for
measurements within electrical systems!
CAT Definition
I
Measurements in electrical circuits which are not directly connected to
the mains: for example electrical systems in motor vehicles and
aircraft, batteries etc.
II
Measurements in electrical circuits which are electrically connected to
the low-voltage mains: via plug, e.g. in household, office and
laboratory applications
III
Measurements in building installations: stationary power consumers,
distributor terminals, devices connected permanently to the distributor
IV
Measurements at power sources for low-voltage installations:
meters, mains terminals, primary overvoltage protection devices
