 Warranty and Product Support
Fluke Biomedical warrants this instrument against defects in materials and workmanship for one year from the date of
original purchase. During the warranty period, we will repair or at our option replace, at no charge, a product that proves to
be defective, provided you return the product, shipping prepaid, to Fluke Biomedical. This warranty covers the original
purchaser only and is not transferable. The warranty does not apply if the product has been damaged by accident or misuse
or has been serviced or modified by anyone other than an authorized Fluke Biomedical service facility. NO OTHER
WARRANTIES, SUCH AS FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. FLUKE SHALL
NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES,
INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA, ARISING FROM ANY CAUSE OR THEORY.
This warranty covers only serialized products and their accessory items that bear a distinct serial number tag. Recalibration
of instruments is not covered under the warranty.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights that vary in different jurisdictions. Since
some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of an implied warranty or of incidental or consequential damages,
this limitation of liability may not apply to you. If any provision of this warranty is held invalid or unenforceable by a court or
other decision-maker of competent jurisdiction, such holding will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.

Fluke Biomedical agrees to a limited copyright release that allows you to reproduce manuals and other printed materials for use in service
training programs and other technical publications. If you would like other reproductions or distributions, submit a written request to Fluke
Biomedical.

Unpacking and Inspection

Follow standard receiving practices upon receipt of the instrument. Check the shipping carton for damage. If damage is found, stop unpacking
the instrument. Notify the carrier and ask for an agent to be present while the instrument is unpacked. There are no special unpacking
instructions, but be careful not to damage the instrument when unpacking it. Inspect the instrument for physical damage such as bent or
broken parts, dents, or scratches.

Technical Support
For application support or answers to technical questions, either email [email protected] or call 1-800- 648-7952 or 1-425-
446-6945.

Claims
Our routine method of shipment is via common carrier, FOB origin. Upon delivery, if physical damage is found, retain all packing materials in
their original condition and contact the carrier immediately to file a claim. If the instrument is delivered in good physical condition but does not
operate within specifications, or if there are any other problems not caused by shipping damage, please contact Fluke Biomedical or your local
sales representative.
Standard Terms and Conditions
Refunds and Credits
Please note that only serialized products and their accessory items (i.e., products and items bearing a distinct serial number tag) are
eligible for partial refund and/or credit. Nonserialized parts and accessory items (e.g., cables, carrying cases, auxiliary modules, etc.)
are not eligible for return or refund. Only products returned within 90 days from the date of original purchase are eligible for refund/credit. In
order to receive a partial refund/credit of a product purchase price on a serialized product, the product must not have been damaged by the
customer or by the carrier chosen by the customer to return the goods, and the product must be returned complete (meaning with all manuals,
cables, accessories, etc.) and in “as new” and resalable condition. Products not returned within 90 days of purchase, or products which are not
in “as new” and resalable condition, are not eligible for credit return and will be returned to the customer. The Return Procedure (see below)
must be followed to assure prompt refund/credit.
Restocking Charges
Products returned within 30 days of original purchase are subject to a minimum restocking fee of 15 %. Products returned in excess
of 30 days after purchase, but prior to 90 days, are subject to a minimum restocking fee of 20 %. Additional charges for damage and/or
missing parts and accessories will be applied to all returns.
Return Procedure
All items being returned (including all warranty-claim shipments) must be sent freight-prepaid to our factory location. When you return an
instrument to Fluke Biomedical, we recommend using United Parcel Service, Federal Express, or Air Parcel Post. We also recommend that
you insure your shipment for its actual replacement cost. Fluke Biomedical will not be responsible for lost shipments or instruments that are
received in damaged condition due to improper packaging or handling.
Use the original carton and packaging material for shipment. If they are not available, we recommend the following guide for repackaging:
ƒ Use a double–walled carton of sufficient strength for the weight being shipped.
ƒ Use heavy paper or cardboard to protect all instrument surfaces. Use nonabrasive material around all projecting parts.
ƒ Use at least four inches of tightly packed, industry-approved, shock-absorbent material around the instrument.

Certification
This instrument was thoroughly tested and inspected. It was found to meet Fluke Biomedical’s manufacturing specifications when it was
shipped from the factory. Calibration measurements are traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Devices for
which there are no NIST calibration standards are measured against in-house performance standards using accepted test procedures.

WARNING
Unauthorized user modifications or application beyond the published specifications may result in electrical shock hazards or improper
operation. Fluke Biomedical will not be responsible for any injuries sustained due to unauthorized equipment modifications.

Using the 1210 Adapter

The 1210 Adapter, an optional accessory, is designed to
increase the number of lead or applied parts connections
to the Analyzer from five to 14. The adapter itself ties up to
ten leads together into a single lead that is plugged into
one of the input jacks of the Analyzer. The four remaining
Analyzer input jacks can also be used in conjunction with
the Adapter.
Figure 29 shows one application of the Adapter. The
Defibrillator/Monitor in the example has ten ECG leads,
two pacer leads, and two defibrillator paddles which need
to be tested together, and in groups if single function, for
current leakage per IEC62353. The example shows the
ECG leads to be snap type connectors and two BJ2ECG
adapters are shown plugged into the Adapter. If the ECG
leads did not have snap connectors, then the Universal
Snap to Banana Adapter can be used to make the
connections to the Adapter. The common lead from the
st
Adapter is plugged into the RA jack (1 jack) of the
Analyzer. Using four sheathed test leads with alligator
clips, connect the two defibrillator paddles into the LL and
LA Analyzer jacks and the two pacer leads into the RL and
V1 jacks. Using the selection that ties all five Analyzer
jacks together will test all fourteen leads for leakage
current. Using the selection of applied part group of 1, 2,
and 2 allows for testing of groups of applied parts of single
function.

instructions are also located on the software web page. If no record ID data is entered, a default ID of
Note 0000000000000001 and a date of --/--/-- is
assigned to the record.
It is recommended that memory data be
uploaded daily or as often as possible to reduce
upload time.
Storing Data into Memory
Each of the six measurement functions allow data storage
within the Analyzer. The ECG function allows storage of
the simulated waveforms only for reference of tests
performed. To store data, a Test Record ID should be
created first. To input a new Test Record ID:
1. Press Q to open the screen shown in Figure 34.
2. Press G or H to set the first character. Available
characters are 0-9, A-Z, and space. fis114.bmp
