Earthing Safety WARNING! HIGH EARTH LEAKAGE CURRENT APPARATUS This device is a Safety Class I instrument, Installation Category II, according to IEC classification and has been designed to meet the The CISPR standard which defines the circuit of the LISN requires it to requirements of EN61010-1 (Safety Requirements for Electrical contain high value decoupling capacitors from the mains supply circuits to Equipment for Measurement, Control and Laboratory Use), and has been...
Fusing Installation The LISN contains no internal overload protection for the unit under test. Mounting To ensure that the supply is disconnected if a fault condition occurs the supply arrangements should include a fuse or circuit breaker suitably The unit is designed for floor, bench or rack mounting. rated for the connecting cable used and the appliance being tested.

For this reason, all CISPR compliant This filter precedes the limiter, so it also further improves the protection receivers (whether implemented as a receiver or a spectrum analyser) against large low frequency signals causing intermodulation in the limiter. provide selectivity before the first mixer by using a "tracking"...
remote control relays in the LISN are wired to the measurement controller. Connecting to equipment See the Installation section for connection details. Place the apparatus to be tested and the LISN in the positions required by the test specification. Bond the LISN to the measurement ground plane Use on load terminals using a short, thick conductor from the binding post on the front panel.
which affect this behaviour; routine calibration consists of checking the limiter batteries, and confirming that physical damage, poor connections or unexpected component drift has not affected the other characteristics. The nominal performance curves are shown on the last page of this book. Work is currently in progress in the standards committees to address the question of reproducibility of EMC measurements and equipment characteristics, and this may lead to the publication of recommended code...
