    AMETEK CTS ESD Simulators Safety 1.1. Safety Aspects Observe all precautions to assure your personal safety. The generators comply with Installation Category II (excess voltage section). Pay special attention to safety and operation details! 1.2. Safety and warning label on the device Take note of the following explanations of the symbols used ensure safe during operation of the equipment.
  • Page 5: Responsibility Of The Operator

    Neither AMETEK CTS GmbH, nor any of the subsidiary sales organizations can accept any responsibility for personnel, material or inconsequential injury, loss or damage that results from improper use of the equipment and accessories.
  • Page 6: Testing And Precautions

    ESD (electrostatic discharge) testing usually shows up all the weak spots in the HF-range of a piece of equipment simulta- neously. The uses to which the esd NX30 ESD simulator can be put hence go way beyond those called for in standard- conform applications.
  • Page 7: Interference To The Environment

    2.4. Interference to the environment CAUTION: The AMETEK CTS interferences generators are instruments which intentionally emit electro- magnetic interference during the test (e.g., ESD, EFT, conducted RF, etc.). Therefore, a disturbance of the environment and surrounding equipment cannot be excluded.
  • Page 8 AMETEK CTS ESD Simulators CAUTION: Never touch the EUT or anything connected to the EUT during a test! Never approach an EUT or anything connected to the DUT during a test! CAUTION It is absolutely necessary to observe and comply with all safety precautions.
  • Page 9: Before Activating The Equipment

    AMETEK CTS ESD Simulators Before Activating the Equipment 3.1. Unpacking and inspection The instrument was tested before shipment and was packed carefully on a transport palette. Each box is marked with a detailed list of the contents. Before activating the equipment, check for damage which may have occurred during shipment. Check each container as well as the generator itself.

    ESD Simulators 5.1.2 Ports (esd NX30, NSG 438 models only) This port is indented to allow the user to connect external signals in order to remote control the generator, as well as to con- nect external accessories like the charge removing device. See tables and graphs below for detailed signal description and drive circuitry information.
  • Page 14: Interlock (Esd Nx30, Nsg 438 Models Only)

    Outputs • 1. Operating mode: the esd NX30 can generate no high voltage as long as the interlock is not closed. High voltage generation is prevented if the interlock is opened during a test procedure. 2. Interlock output for other system devices The instrument is equipped with two 15-way connectors for interlock input and output.
  • Page 15 AMETEK CTS ESD Simulators The contacts should be connected in series if numerous access barriers are necessary. Either one open contact or a voltage of more than 1.5 V at the input is sufficient to disable the simulator. Quick Start and Safety Guide V 1.0...
  • Page 16: Maintenance

    CAUTION Switch the simulator off. NSG 437/438, esd NX30: Open the flap under the display and rotate the pistol backwards until the network drops out under its own weight. Dito: The R/C network can be simply pulled forward from the main unit and exchanged with another R/C network.
