Radiofrequency emissions 

Electromagnetic fi eld strength of radiofrequency emissions produced by the unit (quasi-

peak value at a distance of 10 m) 

Frequency range 30 MHz to 230 MHz:  30 dB (reference 1 µV/m) or less 

Frequency range 230 MHz to 1 GHz: 

37 dB (reference 1 µV/m) or less 

The confi guration for greatest radiofrequency emissions:  power ON 

Immunity to electrostatic discharges 

No malfunction after the following electrostatic discharge tests 

 - Contact discharge: up to ±4 kV (versus ground potential) 

 - Non-contact discharge: up to ±8 kV (versus ground potential)
