Electromagnetic Compatibility
The PowerLab C and C Series devices (the devices) have been tested to comply with IEC
60601-1-2:2014. The relevant basic EMC standards are IEC 61000-4-2, IEC 61000-4-3, IEC
61000-4-6, IEC 61000-4-8, IEC 61000-4-11 and CISPR 11.
Emissions
• The devices are suitable for use in all establishments other than domestic
and those directly connected to the public low-voltage power supply network
that supplies buildings used for domestic purposes. There may be potential
diff iculties in ensuring electromagnetic compatibility in other environments, due
to conducted as well as radiated disturbances.
Immunity
• Mains power quality should be that of a typical commercial or hospital
environment. If the user of the device requires continued operation during
power mains interruptions, it is recommended that the device be powered from
an uninterruptible power supply or a battery.
• Power frequency magnetic fields should be at levels characteristic of a typical
location in a typical commercial or hospital environment.
• Floors should be wood, concrete or ceramic tile. If floors are covered with
synthetic material, the relative humidity should be at least 30%.
Separation Distances
• The devices are intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which
radiated RF disturbances are controlled.
• Portable and mobile RF communications equipment should be used no closer
to any part of the device, including cables, than the recommended separation
distance in the table below.
• Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as determined by an electromagnetic
site survey, should be less than the compliance level in each frequency range.
