10 TEST SETUP SETTING
10.1 Applicable safety standard
Development and manufacture is in compliance to ISO 9001.
The instrument complies with the safety requirements of IEC/EN 61010-1 (Safety
requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use).
The interference immunity has been tested in accordance with EN 61326-1.
It is the user
’s responsibility to ensure that the test rig does not emit excessive
electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might affect other items of equipment. The test
system itself does not produce any excessive radiation; however, the injection of interference
pulses into the EUT can result in the device and/or its associated cables starting to radiate
EMI. To avoid radiating unwanted interference the standards organizations recommend that
the test rig be operated in a Faraday cage.
Since the purpose of the test system is to produce interference signals for interference
immunity testing, the requirements in IEC/EN 61000-6-1, -2, -3, -4 concerning limiting the
radiated EMI can only be complied with by operating the test system inside a Faraday cage
10.2 Test execution
During a test, the EUT together with its accessories and cables are to be
considered as being live always. The test system must be stopped and the
EUT supply disconnected before any work is carried out on the EUT.
The EUT is to be tested only in a protective cage or under a hood which
provides protection against electric shock and all manner of other dangers
pertaining to the EUT (see: Dangers concerning the EUT).
The safety instruction concerning all the instruments and associated
equipment involved in the test rig must be observed.
The configuration of the test rig is to be strictly in compliance with the
methods described in the relevant standard to ensure that the test is
executed in a standard-conforming manner.
For proper cooling the air flow through the ventilator must be ensured with
a free space of at least 20 cm.
