AMETEK CTS

1.3. 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.
CAUTION: 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, medical or airport facilities, the user may use a shielded room for
operation.
CAUTION
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.

1.4. General hazard

Before applying power to the system, verify that your product is configured properly for your particular application.
WARNING: The generators and their 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 ground.
WARNING
The design of external insulation must be such that it exceeds the maximum impulse voltages of the
generator.
Only qualified personnel who are specifically trained to handle the hazards in immunity generators, are allowed to perform
installation and servicing.
Ensure that the AC power line ground is connected properly to the power adapter. Similarly, other power ground lines includ-
ing those to application and maintenance equipment must be grounded properly for both personnel and equipment safety.
Guard against risks of electrical shock during open cover checks by not touching any portion of the electrical circuits. Even
when power is off, capacitors may retain an electrical charge. Use safety glasses during open cover checks to avoid person-
al injury by any sudden component failure.
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.
WARNING: Personnel fitted with a heart pacemaker must neither operate instrument nor approach
the test setup while a test is being executed.
WARNING
Only approved accessories, connectors, adapters, etc. are to be used to ensure safe operation.

1.5. Qualification of personnel

The generator must be operated only by authorized and trained specialists with detailed knowledge of the international,
national or manufacturer's test standard as well as intimate knowledge of the workings and hazards of the Device Under
Test (DUT) or Equipment Under Test (EUT).
