Page 58: Over Range Message
Using 0 dB attenuation PMM 9010 has no input protection. This is a potentially dangerous condition for the input stage of the receiver. Use 0 dB attenuation only if you are very sure that your input signal is less than 0.5 Vpp (or 106 dBμV). Before to apply an unknown signal to PMM 9010 receiver, use an oscilloscope or a wide band RF voltmeter to measure it.

Page 60: Conversion Factor
5.4.5 Conversion factor When using a transducer to make a measurement – a Voltage or Current Probe, an Antenna, etc. – there is always the need to add to the measured values the conversion factor of the transducer in use. The Conversion factor may also take proper account of losses as cable loss, attenuators added externally to the receiver, etc.

Depressing either one of these keys force the receiver in manual attenuation.
Page 64 The Pulse Limiter is a very useful device to protect the input of the receiver from transient overvoltages. Doing conducted emission tests, quite often there are conducted disturbances (usually associated to switching operations in the EUT or along the line under test) which are too high and that propagates through the LISN up to the receiver.

Page 97: Introduction To The Discontinuous Disturbance (Click) Measurement
Mechanical or electronic switching procedures - e.g. those due to 10.4 Introduction thermostats or program controls – may unintentionally generate broadband to the discontinuous discontinuous disturbances with a repetition rate lower than 1 Hz. disturbance (click) Indeed, CISPR 16-2-1 and CISPR 14-1 define a discontinuous measurement disturbance, also called “click”, as a disturbance the amplitude of which exceeds the quasi-peak limit of continuous disturbance, the duration of...
Page 98: Determination Of Click Rate
10.4.1 Determination of The first step of the measuring process is to determine the click rate N in the minimum observation time. This is done measuring the time needed to the click rate count up to 40 clicks or 40 switching operations; the maximum time allowed is anyway 2 hours (120 minutes), unless the cycle is determined by a program, which needs additional time to be terminated.
Page 99: Calculate Limit Quartile
10.4.3 Calculate Limit When the click rate N is determined it is possible to calculate the click limit Quartile Lq by increasing the relevant limit (quasi-peak) L for continuous disturbances with: ● 44 dB for N<0,2, or ● 20 log (30/N) dB for 0,2<N<30 Therefore 20 ⋅...
Page 100 After the Step 1 is completed, the Step 2 begins automatically, carrying out the measurements vs Lq limit, or, in other words, performing the heart of the test itself. In brackets, it is reported the max clicks number allowed (25% of the clicks measured during Step 1).
Page 101: Stop And Pause
10.5.1 Stop and Pause If Stop has been selected during a measurement, the test can then be aborted or it is possible to go immediately to the next step. If Paused, the test can be resumed at any convenient time. 10.6 Report After a Click test the PMM 9010 reports all the relevant data.

10.6.3 Report after a Here following the example of a report for a test done on all the defined frequencies, from Step 1 to Step 6. successful All the relevant information is provided. test at 4 frequencies When connected to a PMM LISN, the PMM 9010 can also automatically 10.6.4 Report after a line search for the worst line, defined as the one with the higher rate N.
Page 103: External Attenuator
10.7 Setup Due to the complexity of the discontinuous disturbance test, this panel is rather complex, as many parameters shall be defined. However, the PMM 9010 has been designed to be extremely user-friendly and to take care in a fully automatic way of all the necessary steps of the test.
Page 104: Limit
10.7.2 Limit Three most used limits are built-in into the analyzer: CISPR 14, CISPR22 and CISPR11. Either one can be selected simply by pressing the relevant key. The limit will be loaded and all the calculations will be done with reference to the selected limit: The Reference Standard for Click tests is always EN 55014-1 (or equivalent CISPR 14-1), which defines 4 different Limit Curves for Q-Peak...
Page 105: Factor F
10.7.3 Determination of N As required by the standard, N may be determined either by counting the clicks, or by counting the switching operations. Select Clicks if N has to be calculated on the number of clicks, or select Sw.Op.+ or Sw.Op.- to determine N on the number of switching operations, going up and down the list of the available options in terms of switched current: 10mA;...
Page 106: Terminate On
10.7.6 Terminate on To define the automatic stop condition, it is possible to select between two options: 40 Clicks/Time and Time/Manually. In the first case, the stop of the step either happens after 40 clicks or after the defined time has elapsed; in the second case, the step is not terminated when reaching 40 clicks (thus allowing to test EUTs that are commanded by a program) but only when the defined time has elapsed.
Page 107 Once the PMM LISN sub-menu has been selected, a choice is available to define if to run the test on a specific Line (L1, L2, L3, N) or to perform the test automatically on each test frequency, one Line after the other, in order to find the worst of them in terms of Emission and finally execute the complete test on that specific Line only, so dramatically reducing time consumption.

Page 149: Analyzer Mode Operating Instructions
11.15 - Analyzer Mode Operating Instructions 11.15.1 Introduction To enter in the ANALYZER Mode it’s enough to depress the Analyzer soft key on the main screen. In this mode the receiver works as a powerful Spectrum Analyzer and the display shows the "spectrum analysis" (span max 3/6/18 GHz) in the frequency domain of a signal tuned at a given frequency.
Page 150: Frequency
The Spectrum mode function is divided into five sub windows: • Frequency • Resolution Bandwidth • Level • Marker • Wide Mode The fifth button is used to change the spectrum view to wide screen mode, as shown in the picture 4-1, and with the Esc button the original view can be restored.
Page 151: Input: Attenuators And Preamplifier
The Level function has 5 sub-menus, each one with several options. 11.15.4 Level Pressing the Display button it is possible to set two parameters: the visualized Dynamic range (chosen between 80, 100 and 120dB) and the Reference Level, that can be increased or reduced by steps of 5dB within the range +55 dBμV to 90 dBμV (-50 to - 15 dBm).
Page 152: Misc
11.15.4.2 Misc Under the Miscellanea functions menu it is possible to activate or exclude the Preselector filters and also to set the Tracking Generator. The Preselector is composed by a group of filters automatically selected by the PMM 9030/9060/9180 while it is sweeping or anyway measuring. The aim of the preselector is to reduce the amount of out-of-band energy entering in the receiver, thus helping a lot in reducing intermodulation problems and similar undesired behaviors.
Page 153: Conversion Factor
When using a transducer to make a measurement – a Voltage or Current 11.15.4.4 Conversion Probe, an Antenna, etc. – there is always the need to add to the measured factor values the conversion factor of the transducer in use. The Conversion factor may also take proper account of losses as cable loss, attenuators added externally to the receiver, etc.

Page 280: A-E.3 Test Setup
A-E.3 Test setup To carry out any measurements, the following parts are required: • EMI Receiver PMM 9010 • 9010-BTA Bluetooth Adapter • Personal Computer equipped with Bluetooth • Eventual extensions, ancillaries, etc. (ex. PMM 9030, PMM L2-16B) The 9010-BTA can be connected to the rear RS232 port of the receiver directly or using the serial cable supplied together with the unit.
Page 281 5) Establish the pairing with the device. The 9010-BTA does not require a pin code. So it must be coupled with the PC without inserting any code. It could be necessary to use a proper utility to achieve this functionality. As for example, the BlueSoleil™.
