Safety information

Attention
2.1.

Intended use

The "compact NX5" test system is designed primarily for conducted transient interference tests as specified in the
European generic standards IEC/EN 61000-6-1 to cover equipment for household, office and light industrial use,
and IEC/EN 61000-6-2 for applications in industrial environments. The "compact NX5" generates these tests in
accordance with IEC/EN 61000-4-4, -4-5, -4-11, -4-18 and -4-29, depending of the model configuration.
Accessories are available for generating optional tests to IEC/EN 61000-4-8 and -9.
The EMC Directive 2014/30/EU (for the assignment of the CE mark) refers to these standards and to this type of
equipment.
2.2.

Responsibility of the operator

These operating instructions form an essential part of the equipment and must be available to the operator at all
times. The user must obey all safety instructions and warnings.
The purpose of this instrument is the generation of defined interferences signals for EMI
immunity testing. Depending on the arrangement of the test rig, the configuration, the
cabling and the properties of the EUT itself, a significant amount of electromagnetic
radiation may result that could also affect other equipment and systems.
The equipment is designed to operate in industrial environment. For operating in other or
sensitive environment, such as light industry, airport area..., the user may use a shielded
room for operate.
WARNING
The user himself or herself is ultimately responsible for the correct and controlled operation
of the rig. In case of doubt, the tests should be carried out in a Faraday cage.
2.3.

General hazard

Before applying power to the system, verify that your product is configured properly for your particular application.
The Compact NX5 system and its accessories operate at high voltages.
Hazardous voltages may be present when covers are removed. Qualified personnel must
use extreme caution when servicing this equipment.
Circuit boards, test points, and output voltages also may be floating above (below) chassis
WARNING
ground.
Only qualified personnel who deal with attendant hazards in impulse generators, are allowed to perform
installation and servicing.
Ensure that the AC power line ground is connected properly to the Power Rack input connector or chassis.
Similarly, other power ground lines including those to application and maintenance equipment must be grounded
properly for both personnel and equipment safety.
Always ensure that facility AC input power is de-energized prior to connecting or disconnecting any cable.
The user must ensure that the output power lines are labeled properly as to the safety hazards and that any
inadvertent contact with hazardous voltages is eliminated.
