THAT MAY RESULT FROM THE USE OF THIS EQUIPMENT OUTSIDE ITS RECOMMENDED OPERATING CONDITIONS. PRECAUTIONS THE HFG02 MUST NOT BE OPERATED WITH THE TEST SUPPLY INPUT PLUGGED DIRECTLY INTO A PUBLIC MAINS SUPPLY SYSTEM. WHEN OPERATED, THE HFG02 WILL CAUSE HARMONIC AND FLICKER EMISSIONS TO THE SUPPLY CONNECTED TO THE TEST SUPPLY INPUT.

The HFG02 provides a series of harmonic and flicker disturbances of a nominal but stable level. The HFG02 may therefore be used to verify the stability of a measurement system. Additionally, due to its own stability it may be used as a transfer standard from a calibrated system, or be used as a repeatable source of interference for diagnostic and/or development design work.
EUT not covered by the generalised harmonics and flicker modes. The HFG02 can be used with test systems operating at both 110 Vac and 230 Vac (nominal) supply voltages, and with either 50 Hz or 60 Hz supply frequencies. The HFG02 constantly monitors the Test Supply under test and adjusts itself automatically, indicating the detected voltage and frequency to the operator.

NOTE. Do not allow any obstructions to interfere with the operation of the fans, or site the HFG02 such that airflow is restricted. Doing so will cause the equipment to run at an increased temperature and in so doing may affect its operation.
A steady indicator warns of a system failure, which will need to be cleared by fully restarting the HFG02 (refer to Section 4.7). Test Supply indicators These indicators display the frequency and RMS voltage of the Test Supply.
. Pressing the power switch with the 24 Vdc unit connected will turn the HFG02 on, which will be confirmed by the green indicator . Pressing the power switch again will turn the HFG02 off.
5.5 Test Supply Indicators The HFG02 monitors the input from the Test Supply under test and displays the voltage and frequency measurements on the front panel indicators as shown in Table 2.
HFG02 Operation Manual 5.6 Performing a test. The HFG02 acts as the equipment under test in the harmonics and flicker test system, and should be connected to the single-phase test power supply as per the typical test setup used (Figure 5 for example).
Typical performance results are shown in the sections below. 6.1 Flicker Load Operation The typical flicker disturbance generated by the HFG02 in each of the steady flicker modes when tested according to EN/IEC 61000-3-3 is shown in Table 3. Flicker Mode...

The periodicity of these checks is typically determined by the quality assurance regime employed by the user, however it is recommended that the HFG02 output be retested annually. This service is available from York EMC Services and can be arranged through your supplier.
Do not wet the case of the HFG02 when cleaning it, for example by using a wet cloth or aerosol cleaning fluid. If the case has become wet through any circumstances then it MUST be dried before being connected to a power supply.
These phenomena are deemed non applicable on the basis that the HFG02 has no relevant signal ports. The AC test port of the HFG02 may be looked upon as a signal port but the captive lead is less than 3m in length hence the tests do not apply.
Ensure that the airflow through the fan and ventilation duct areas remains unobstructed, and that the HFG02 is in good condition. For all maintenance and calibration procedures, the HFG02 should be returned to York EMC Services for servicing by authorized personnel.
