Introduction to the ESA601 1
Introduction to the ESA601
The Fluke Biomedical ESA601 Electrical Safety Analyzer (hereafter called the ESA601)
is a full-featured, low-cost, compact analyzer, designed to verify the electrical safety of
medical devices. The ESA601 satisfies international (IEC 601-1,VDE) and domestic
(ANSI/AAMI ES1) electrical-safety standards. The integrated ANSI/AAMI ES1 and IEC
601-1 patient loads are easily selectable, utilizing a slide switch.
The ESA601 quickly and easily measures many important parameters for electrical-safety
testing:
• Mains voltage
• Earth resistance (one-amp test current) with lead nulling
• 500 V AP and Mains insulation
• Earth leakage
• Enclosure leakage
• Patient and patient-auxiliary leakage
• Mains on applied parts
• Equivalent-device and equivalent-patient leakage
• Differential leakage
• Dual-lead leakage
• Dual-lead voltage
Test results can be printed, and the ESA601 can be automated via the RS-232 port. The
ESA601 utilizes a switching power supply with a voltage range of minimum 90 V to
maximum 264 V. The ESA601 carries the P, ), and ; marks.
Whenever possible, all product-enclosure nomenclature utilizes internationally
recognized symbols, terms, and icons.

Powering Up the ESA601
For the location of the FUNCTION-SELECTION KNOB, the POWER-STATUS INDICATORS, and
the POWER SWITCH, refered to Figure 1-1 in Chapter 1 of this manual. Specifically locate
items 10, 17, and 18, and the accompanying descriptions of switches and indicators on
the unit’s right-side and top panels.
With the controls identified, perform the following steps to power up the ESA601.
1. Turn the FUNCTION-SELECTION KNOB to the OFF position.
2. Power up the system by toggling the POWER SWITCH to the ON position. After
three seconds the unit powers up, and a green light appears in the POWER LED to
indicate the tester is switched on.
3. When the unit is powered up, the ESA601 will check for proper polarity and
range of the AC-input voltage. During this check, the display indicates firmware
X.XX (e.g. 1.00). If all goes well during power up, the display will show the
word OFF.
4. If the FUNCTION-SELECTION KNOB is not set to OFF when the unit is powered up,
the unit immediately moves (with audible clicking) to the mode indicated by the
current FUNCTION-SELECTION KNOB setting, and the display indicates a reading
related to that selected function (usually a meter reading).
5. If a fault is found at startup, a RED light appears in the POWER FAULT LED, and
the ESA601 display indicates an error code. (For explanations of startup-error
codes, see the section called “Error Codes” in Chapter 7 of this manual.
Note
Once you have the ESA601 up and running, please fill out the Registration
Card and mail it to Fluke Biomedical.

Selecting Language Options 3
Selecting Language Options
Five language options support the eight available factory-set versions of the ESA601 that
are unique combinations of types of DUT outlet (test receptacle), detachable line cord,
and overlay language:
• English with IEC nomenclature (“E”)
• English with AAMI nomenclature (“E-US,” default)
• French (“F”)
• Italian (“I”)
• German (“D”)
When the unit is initially received, the factory-set, default-language option should match
the instrument’s overlay language. However, if this is not the case, or if for any reason
the current default language is not the one desired, perform the following steps to change
the default:
1. Hold down the OHMS-FUNCTION SWITCH in the MEASURE Ω position while
powering up the ESA601.
2. When the display indicates SEL, release the switch.
3. To cycle through optional language selections, repeatedly press and release the
OHMS-FUNCTION SWITCH in the MEASURE Ω position.
4. When the code for the desired language option (i.e., E, F, I, or D) displays, wait
for two seconds; the language selection indicated on the display is saved
automatically.
5. The new default language remains in effect until steps #1 through #4 are
repeated.
Note
Choosing a language option affects only the report printouts and the
responses to the remote port. It does not affect the display.
Note
For procedures on how to change the current default language for
printouts, see the section in this chapter called “Selecting Language
Options.”

Mode Control 5
Mode Control
The operation of the ESA601 can be controlled through two separate modes: Local and
Remote. The power-up default mode of the ESA601 is Local Mode where functions are
selected by manually positioning the FUNCTION-SELECTION KNOB. (For the location of
the FUNCTION-SELECTION KNOB, refer to “Unit Characteristics” in Chapter 1 of this
manual. Specifically see item 10 in Figure 1-1.) In Remote Mode, the ESA601 can be
controlled through its RS-232 port with commands from a PC.
To change modes from Local to Remote, use a terminal-emulation program (set to 9600
baud, 8 bit, no parity, 1 start, 1 stop) to send the remote command REMOTE (with no
parameters) to the RS-232 serial port. The system responds with the message “REMOTE
MODE,” followed by the messages “WAIT” and “OK.”
Note
When the mode is changed from Local to Remote, the system initially sets
the “active” function to OFF. This action turns OFF all power to the
Equipment Outlet and to applied parts, but leaves power to the ESA601ON.
To change modes from Remote to Local, send the remote command LOCAL (with no
parameters)to the RS-232 serial port. The system responds with the message “LOCAL
MODE.”
The remainder of this chapter describes the operation of the ESA601 using the local
mode. Remote mode operation is explained in Chapter 6 of this manual.
Function Selection
Table 5-1 describes the ESA601 electrical-safety tests that are selected by positioning the
FUNCTION-SELECTION KNOB, a sixteen-position rotary switch. (For the location of the
FUNCTION-SELECTION KNOB, refer to “Unit Characteristics” in Chapter 1 of this manual.
Specifically see item 10 in Figure 1-1.) Some switch positions will have two names
listed. The first name refers to the overlay with IEC nomenclature, and the second name
refers to the overlay with AAMI nomenclature.

When the EARTH RES Ω (GROUND WIRE RES Ω) function is selected initially, and the
OHMS-FUNCTION SWITCH is set to the default (OFF) position, the ESA601 display
indicates PE (Protective Earth), and the null offset value is equal to the last null offset
value.
Action
1. Position the FUNCTION-SELECTION KNOB to EARTH RES Ω (GROUND WIRE RES Ω).
2. Connect the DUT power cord to the test receptacle on the ESA601
3. Connect the banana plug end of the red test lead into the RED signal jack and the
probe end into to the GREEN signal jack that is labeled PE TEST POINT.*
4. Depress and hold down the OHMS-FUNCTION SWITCH in the OFFSET/ZERO 0 position.
5. After the meter settles, release the switch. If the operation is successful, a null offset
is saved, and the ESA601 display indicates a string of zeroes. (If the meter will not
zero, the ESA601 display indicates OL when the switch is released, meaning that the
lead resistance is too high.)
6. Disconnect the lead’s probe end from the PE-TEST POINT, and connect to the DUT
enclosure at desired points. Connect the DUT power cord to the test receptacle on the
ESA601.
7. Depress and hold down the OHMS-FUNCTION SWITCH in the MEASURE Ω position
until a stable reading is obtained (approximately three seconds).
8. Release the switch to hold and display the reading.
9. Press the PRINT SWITCH to print the reading.
10. Repeat steps 6 through 9 as many times as necessary, using the RED test lead to
connect to all exposed conductive parts of the DUT.
Note
When the EARTH RES Ω (GROUND WIRE RES Ω) function is exited, the
NULL value (OFFSET/ZERO) is held. To ensure accuracy of readings, it is
recommended that the nulling of the test lead resistance be performed
periodically, whenever a test lead is disconnected and reconnected, when
results are questionable, or when a new test lead is applied.

Setup Requirements
Set up the terminal emulator to 9600 baud, 8 bit, no parity, 1 start, 1 stop.
The serial-port connector is a 9-pin female D-SUB, configured as Data Communications
Equipment (DCE) and intended to connect straight through to Data Terminal Equipment
(DTE).
The supplied cable (P/N 2238626), is a cable with modem elimination (or null modem)
that can be used to connect to a PC serial port. If a “straight” serial cable is used, a
modem eliminator adapter is required.
To run a COM port or a PC, a terminal emulation program is required, with XON/XOFF
and RTS/CTS capabilities.
