Manual 1178.9932.02 ─ 01
You can operate the product up to an altitude of 2000
m above sea level. The product
is suitable for pollution degree
2 environments where nonconductive contamination can
occur.
For more information on environmental conditions such as ambient temperature and
humidity, see the data sheet.
Setting up the instrument
Always place the LISN on a stable, flat and level surface with the bottom of the LISN
facing down. Make sure that the air supply is not obstructed from any side.
Place the LISN on a nonflammable base, for example a metal plate, to prevent a fire if
the ventilation system fails or if it gets too hot.
If the instrument has foldable feet, always fold the feet completely in or out to ensure
stability. The feet can collapse if they are not folded out completely or if the LISN is
moved without lifting it. The foldable feet are designed to carry the weight of the instru-
ment, but not an extra load.
Observe the applicable national regulations and standards as part of the installation
process.
Protective ground connection
Always establish a protective ground connection before connecting the LISN to a
power source.
A protective ground protects you from electrically live parts on the casing caused by
high leakage currents. High leakage currents can cause electric shock, serious per-
sonal injury or death if you touch the casing.
Ground cables must have a sufficient cross-section that complies with
VDE
0100-540
part 5-54 (IEC 60364-5-54).
Validate that the ground connection is safe.
The ground connection must remain until the LISN has been disconnected from the
power source.
If the LISN has an auxiliary voltage: Secure the test setup with a second protective
ground. The second ground connection protects you from live parts if the ground con-
nection of the auxiliary cable fails.
Connecting to power
The product is an overvoltage category II product and must be connected to a fixed
installation used to supply energy-consuming equipment such as household applian-
ces and similar loads. Be aware that electrically powered products have risks, such as
electric shock, fire, personal injury or even death.
Keep to the protective measures given by VDE
0100-410 (IEC60634-4-41) while work-
ing with the LISN.
