All mains driven types of generators are equipped for high voltage working safety in accordance with VDE
0104.
The EMC compatibility has been tested with EN 61326 version 03/2002.
1.10 Reduction of operational safety
If you have any reasons to suppose that the test equipment is not completely safe, you must shut it down and
put it out of operation. Moreover, you must mark or label the equipment appropriately so it will not inadvertently
be put into operation again. You should then call authorized service personnel for assistance.
1.11 As agreed use
The tester may be used exclusively for simulation of automotive EMC events.
1.12 General instructions
The generator is to be used only for the purposes set down by the manufacturer. It is the user’s responsibility
to ensure that the test set-up does not emit excessive radiation that may effect other equipment. The instru-
ment itself does not produce excessive radiation. However, applying interference pulses to an DUT may cause
that DUT and its cables to start radiating EMI. The method recommended by standards bodies to prevent
unwanted emission is to operate the test set-up in a Faraday cage.
Only approved accessory items, connectors, adapters, etc. are to be used to ensure safe operation.
CAUTION!
Use of the generator is restricted to authorised and trained specialists.
DANGER!
Output connections must not be handled while pulses are being generated.
During pulse generation, high voltages and currents are present at the output
terminals. BNC output connectors are accessible and can have hazardous live
voltages present while in operation.
DANGER!
The construction of the unit renders it unsuitable for use in an explosive atmos-
phere.
DANGER!
Persons fitted with a heart pacemaker must not operate the instrument nor
approach the test rig while it is in operation.
