CE Compliance Requirements
In addition to the local and regional safety requirements, this section describes additional criteria that
must be met to qualify for European Conformity (CE) certification. All relevant apparatus placed on
the European market is required to comply to the European Community directive on electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC). The following instructions provide a means of compliance for the Q9

Using RCD Protection
Where a residual-current-operated protective device (RCD) is used to guard against direct or indirect
contact, only an RCD of Type B is allowed on the supply side of this Electronic Equipment.
Otherwise, another protective measure shall be applied, such as separation of the Electronic Equipment
from the environment by double or reinforced insulation, or isolation of the Electronic Equipment and
supply side by a transformer.
EMC Installation Guidelines
All systems placed on the European market are required to comply with the European Community
directive regarding electromagnet compatibility (EMC). Toshiba ensures that all systems deployed in
the European market have been screened and are in 100% compliance.
General EMC Guidelines for Consideration
•
Input filters of the appropriate rating shall be used.
•
Proper grounding is a requirement.
•
Grounds shall be kept to the minimum length to accomplish the connection.
•
Grounds shall have low RF impedance.
•
A central ground shall be employed in a complex system.
•
Paint or corrosion can hamper good grounding; remove as required.
•
Keep control and power cabling separated. Minimize exposed (unscreened) cable.
•
Use 360° shielded connections where possible.
