NSG 5500 Automotive transient immunity generator
1.6 Safety of operation
Reliable function and safe operation of the test equipment are ensured only if the relevant general precautions
as well as all safety instructions given in this manual are observed.
In particular, observe the following:
Connect the generator only to line voltage that confirms to the power specification given on the type label
(on the back of the test system).
Do not touch any conductive parts at the test point connectors, the fixture and the test object during a test run.
Never apply external voltage to the sytem’s output connectors.
Disconnect the generator f rom the mains before opening the casing for maintenance or repair.
During operating the generator always observe the relevant rules of ESD (Electro Static Discharge)
protection.
To guarantee the EMC features of the NSG 5500, the control computer must meet the requirements of the
EN 50082, 55011, 61000 standard.
The operation of radio equipment or other high frequency emitting devices near the DUT or adaptation
cables, may possibly lead to wrong test results (while HF energy is emitted).
Observe the environmental conditions as described in chapter 5.3 Environmental
conditions.
1.7 Personnel
The generator may be operated by qualified personnel only. It may be opened for adjustment, maintenance
or repair by authorized staff only. Teseq or its representative may not be held responsible for service not
performed by Teseq personnel.
1.8 Responsibility for safety precaution
The owner, operation supervisor and/or operator of the equipment are responsible for safety. The owner,
operation supervisor and/or operator are in charge of any safety measures that do not directly concern the
generator itself. For details, see the relevant accident prevention regulations. See also the safety instructions
in the manufacturer’s manual included with any additional instrument or device you intend to use with your
Teseq equipment.
Neither Teseq AG nor any of the sales organisations can accept any responsibility for personal, material or
consequential injury, loss or damage that results from improper use of the equipment and accessories.
