11. ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY
European Council Directive 89/336/EEC requires electronic equipment not to
generate electromagnetic disturbances exceeding defined levels and have adequate
immunity levels for normal operation. Specific standards applicable to this analyser
are stated below.
As there are electrical products in use pre-dating this Directive, and radio transmitting
devices which may not be covered by this Directive, they may emit excess
electromagnetic radiation levels and, occasionally, it may be appropriate to check the
analyser before use by:
Use the normal start up sequence in the location where the analyser will be
used.
Switch on all localized electrical equipment capable of causing interference.
Check all readings are as expected. A level of disturbance is acceptable.
If not acceptable, adjust the position to minimize interference or switch off, if
possible, the offending equipment during your test.
At the time of writing this manual (December 2004) we are not aware of any field
based situation where such interference has occurred and this advice is only given to
satisfy the requirements of the Directive.
This product has been tested for
compliance with the following generic
standards:
EN
61000-6-3
EN
61000-6-1
and is certified to be compliant
Specification EC/EMC/KI/KANE 100
details the specific test configuration,
performance and conditions of use.
