EC Declaration of Conformity 

 

 

 

The CE marking of the Castle Pocket Vibration Meter range indicates compliance with the EMC 
Directive. 

 

   

Castle Group Ltd declares that the: - 

 

GA2002 and GA2003 range of Vibration Meters 

 

have in accordance with the following Electromagnetic Compatibilty Directives: - 

 

SI 2005/281 

 

2004/108/EC 

 

been designed and manufactured to meet the following tests: - 

 

Radiated Emissions:    

EC 61000-6-3:2005 + IEC 61000-6-4:1995 

 

ESD: 

 

 

 

IEC 61000-6-2:2005  

 

 

 

 

Levels: ±4kV(C) , ±8kV(A) 

 

RF EM Amplitude Mod: 

IEC 61000-6-2:2005   

 

 

 

 

Level 10 V/m 

 

 

No  differences  in  radio  frequency  emissions  are  apparent  between  operating  modes  of  multipurpose 
instruments. 
 

No performance or function degradation is noticeable whilst subject to electrostatic discharge or a.c power 
frequency and radio frequency fields under any operating mode with the meter.  Greatest susceptibility to a.c 
power frequencies at 180

 to source.  

 

We  hereby  declare  that  the  instruments  named  above  have  been  designed  to  comply  with  the  relevant 
sections  of  the  above  referenced  specifications,  and  that  the  above  named  instruments  comply  with  all 
essential requirements of the specified Directives.
