Warnings
The test generators SESD 216 and SESD 230 creates high voltage up to 16.500 Volts and 30.000 Volts.
The energy of these high voltages is limited, but injury might be incurred if the probe tip is touched.
The handling of the generator is only allowed to experienced and instructed persons according to
DIN 570105 / VDE 0105 part 1. Persons with a cardiac pacemaker are not allowed to handle this
unit.
The use of the ESD generator assumes, like all measurement tasks and verifications, that the local and
branch specific directions are considered. Precautions should be taken that any part that carries high
voltage and can be touched should be shielded. This is important with both the ESD Generator and the
object under test.
While using the ESD generators it must be sure that the ground / earth connection is fastened at
the generators ground and connected to earth potential.
It is not allowed to use the tripod connector for grounding!
The interference generator SESD 216 and SESD 230 is according to its specifications designed
only for laboratory use in the industrial surrounding (tests in a Faraday’s cage).
1.2
Reduction of safety
If the unit has visible damage so that a save operation is no longer possible, it has to be set out of opera-
tion. It has to be ensured against unauthorized usage. The unit has to be sending immediately to the
manufacture / dealer with a description of the damage!
We warn against untrained staff opening the unit. There is high voltage inside EVEN WHEN
SWITCHED OFF. Your warranty will be void if the unit is opened.
