Maintenance setup and service
9.1.
General
Inside the test system there are no adjustable elements accessible to the user neither for calibration nor for
maintenance purpose.
The housing of the test system must not be opened. Should any maintenance or adjustment become necessary,
the whole test system, together with an order or fault report, should be sent to an AMETEK CTS service center.
9.2.
Maintenance and cleaning
The generator is maintenance-free by using a solid-state semiconductor switch to generate transients.
Maintenance by the user is restricted to cleaning the outer housing, performing a function check and verification
of the pulse parameters.
In general, a moist cloth is enough for cleaning the outer housing, including the touch panel. If necessary add a
small amount of a mild, non-foaming household cleanser.
No chemicals (acid, etc.) should be used for cleaning purposes.
Before beginning to clean the test system ensure that it is switched off and the mains power cable is unplugged
from the supply.
9.3.
Test setup
When setting up the test national and international regulations regarding human safety must be guaranteed.
It is recommended to connect the simulator to the ground reference plane of the test setup.
The generators of the NSG 3000A series and their coupling networks, can be linked together to a fully
automotive test setup.
The setup communicates via the Ethernet / optical link is controlled by software. For setting up the system
see the following figures:

Insulating- or external transformer for EUT power supply
The recommended power of an external transformer must be
> 500VA
. The reason is the
capacitive current of the internal filter capacitors inside the NSG 3000A.
