1.11 Dangers concerning the generator
Local regulations for the protection of radio services must be observed. The interference generated by the
generator can cause both conducted and radiated interference.
If the radiated energy exceeds the permissible level, a shielded chamber with filtering of the supply lines or
similar must be used. Decisive for the measures are the used levels, the geometry of the setup, the fre-
quency range and the distance to the neighbor.
Depending on the level used, the effectiveness of the connected antenna, TEM cell or similar, fields can be
generated using appropriate power amplifiers, from which the operating personnel must be protected by
suitable measures.
Localized burning, arcing or ignition of explosive gases.
Disruption of unrelated electronic, telecommunications or navigational installations or heart pacemakers
through intentional and unintentional radiation of RF energy.
Persons fitted with a heart pacemaker must not operate the instrument nor approach the test
setup while it is in operation.
WARNING
1.12 Dangers concerning the EUT
EUTs are frequently simply functional samples that have not previously been subjected to any safety tests.
Therefore, in some cases, the EUT is quickly damaged through internal overloads caused by the control
electronics being disrupted. The EUT may even begin to burn.
As soon as the EUT shows signs of damage the test should be stopped and the equipment under test
should be switched off.
Possible erroneous behavior by the EUT for example, a robotic device may misbehave, or a temperature
regulator may fail.
Even when power is off, capacitors may retain an electrical charge.
1.13 Applicable safety standards
Development and manufacture of the instrument complies with ISO 9001.
The equipment conforms with the essential requirements of the EMC Directive 2004 / 108 / EC and Low
Voltage Directive (LVD) 2006 / 95 / EC based on the following specifications applied: DIN EN 61326-1:2006,
table 2 and chapter 7 class B and DIN EN 61010-1:2001
1.14 Intended use
The purpose of this instrument is the generation of defined interferences signals for EMI im-
munity testing. Depending on the test stand layout, configuration, wiring, and the characteris-
tics of the EUT itself, a significant amount of electromagnetic radiation may be generated that
can affect people as well as other equipment and systems.
The device is designed for operation in industrial as well as home environment. For the in-
tended operation, electromagnetic fields are generated by the connection of coupling devices
(antennas, clamps, CDN etc.) or by the injection on lines. The operator, persons in the vicinity
and the environment must be protected by suitable measures, e.g. Faraday cage.
