Electromagnetic Compatibility
This equipment has been designed and constructed to comply with the European
Community Directive 89/336/EEC. To ensure that the requirements of the Directive and
related standards are satisfied it is essential that the equipment is used as intended and in
full accordance with the operating instructions.
Immunity to external interference (EN 6100-6-3:2001)
•
This equipment will not suffer permanent damage, or become dangerous or unsafe as
a result of electromagnetic interference at the levels set in the standards. Normally it
will continue to operate as intended. Electrostatic discharges or breaks in the power
supply may cause the equipment to shut down until it is manually re-set and re-started.
•
Exposure to higher levels of electromagnetic disturbance, above the prescribed limits
(for example by the operation of a hand-held transmitter close to the remote controller)
may result in out-of-tolerance readings on the instrumentation.
Electromagnetic emissions (EN 61000: Part 6-3:2001)
•
Electromagnetic disturbances generated by this equipment do not exceed the
prescribed levels that could cause interference to radio, telecommunications or
television reception apparatus. There will be no interference provided the reception
equipment itself is constructed and used in accordance with the applicable standards,
and its antenna is located more than 10 metres away.
•
If highly susceptible apparatus is used nearby, particularly if its faulty operation could
cause danger, then you must take additional measures to minimise the risks.
•
This test equipment is intended to cause controlled changes in the load on an electrical
power supply. Such tests may result in disturbances in the Supply-on-Test that are
outside prescribed limits. If susceptible apparatus is connected to the Supply-on-Test,
particularly if its faulty operation could cause danger, then it should be switched off, or
disconnected, during the tests.
