® Safety Instructions for LISNs R&S ENV216 Choosing the operating site Only use the LISN indoors in rooms equipped with a protective earth connection (for example EMC test rooms). The product casing is not waterproof and water that enters the casing can electri- cally connect the casing with live parts.

® Safety Instructions for LISNs R&S ENV216 The ground connection must remain until the LISN has been disconnected from the power source. If the LISN has an auxiliary voltage: Secure the test setup with a second protec- tive ground. The second ground connection protects you from live parts if the ground connection of the auxiliary cable fails.

Connection for the plug-in power supply. The control circuitry of the R&S ENV216 is powered via the "External Power Supply" socket, if the R&S ENV216 is to be used to conduct measurements of AC voltages below 90 VAC or on DC voltages up to 50 VDC.
Execute the following steps in the order as described. Additional important infor- mation is provided in separate chapters that are linked within each step. 1. Place the R&S ENV216 on a non-flammable surface (e.g. metal plate, marble slab). 2. Remove all surrounding items that could obstruct the ventilation openings of the R&S ENV216.
Page 15
2. Disconnect the auxiliary protective ground connection of the R&S ENV216. Connecting to Protective Ground Before the R&S ENV216 is put into operation, the network must be connected to an additional conductor that is compliant with VDE0100. Users must be aware that it is possible for socket connections and grounding conductors to become disconnected.
® Preparing for Use R&S ENV216 Connecting to Power Connecting to Power Connection to the mains power supply is provided by a permanently attached mains cable. The device is not equipped with an ON / OFF switch. Instead, the device plug of the connecting cable serves for disconnection from the AC supply (see "Connect-...

Connecting to Power 1. DANGER! Risk of electric shock. Before you connect the V-network to the power source, you have to connect the R&S ENV216 to a protective ground terminal. An unearthed R&S ENV216 is live. Touching a live electrical device causes serious personal injury, or even death.

Operating on Non-Standardized Voltages For measurement tasks on voltages that are outside the normal mains voltage ranges (e.g. <90 VAC) and operation on DC (max. 50 VDC) the R&S ENV216 control circuit is powered by an external power supply. 1. Make sure that the DC voltage does not exceed 50 VDC. Higher DC voltages may damage the equipment.

® Preparing for Use R&S ENV216 Connecting to Reference Ground Connecting to Reference Ground The network is connected to the PE grounding connection for the mains power supply through the mains cable, but this is not adequate for use as a reference ground in HF noise voltage measurement.
>35°C, external air ventilation is recommended. The RFI voltage measurement plane is located on the front panel of the R&S ENV216. The impedance gradient of connections N and L1 of the socket is measured against the reference ground connectors (4-mm-jacks) to the left and right (2) of the socket (1).

ENV216 Measurement Setup Measurement Setup The R&S ENV216 Two Line V-Network satisfies the requirements of interference measurement regulations CISPR 16-1-2 and 16-2-1 and also EN55016-1-1 and EN55016-2-1, and the U.S. FCC (Part 15). The measurement setups prescribed in the individual standards are largely simi- lar.

Maintenance, Storage and Disposal R&S ENV216 Visual Inspection Maintenance, Storage and Disposal Before any maintenance work on the R&S ENV216 is executed, read the Safety Instructions carefully. The device does not need to be regularly serviced. Servicing is limited essentially to wiping the device's external surfaces.
Page 30
® Maintenance, Storage and Disposal R&S ENV216 Measuring the PE Conductor's Resistance A check must also be made to confirm that the fuses used match the nominal rat- ings indicated in the documentation. Testing the PE Grounding Connection This test is intended to determine whether the resistance between contactable parts, which must be securely grounded for safety reasons, and the grounding contact of the mains connector is less than 0.3 Ω.
In addition to the usual points, measurements should also be taken from the PE contact of the mains plug to the bolt on the rear panel of the R&S ENV216. The resistance of the PE connection is calculated from the voltage reading divi- ded by the supplied current.
® Maintenance, Storage and Disposal R&S ENV216 Contacting Customer Support Never use solvents such as nitro solvent, acetone or similar, as this will degrade the labeling on the front panel and may also damage the plastic parts. Storage and Packaging The device should be stored at a temperature between –40 and +70 °C.
