Page 4: Safety
AMETEK CTS Automotive Transient Immunity Testing 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 in order to achieve the optimum benefit from this manual and to ensure safety 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: Qualification Of Personnel
AMETEK CTS Automotive Transient Immunity Testing 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. -
Page 7: 3-Phase Eut Power Lines
AMETEK CTS Automotive Transient Immunity Testing First check the 115 V / 230 V voltage selector where applicable! Do not connect 230 VAC into the 115 VAC units. The result could be a severely damaged unit. Figure 5 - Voltage Selection If power to the equipment of Class I is supplied by an auto-transformer which is connected to a higher supply voltage, the base of the auto-transformer must be connected to the neutral of the power supply. -
Page 8: Safety Functions
AMETEK CTS Automotive Transient Immunity Testing Safety functions The test area must be organized so that only those involved in the test may enter it. In the case that the safety circuit is used to control the complete area, an additional interlock contact must be used to directly protect the operator from contact with the DUT. -
Page 9: Testing And Precautions
AMETEK CTS Automotive Transient Immunity Testing Testing and Precautions All tests produced EMC generators are immunity tests on electronic equipment or devices. These tests are potentially dangerous to the operator. It is the responsibility of the user to avoid critical failures and risks to the environment and the operator. -
Page 10: Interference To The Environment
Automotive Transient Immunity Testing 3.5. Interference to the environment CAUTION: The AMETEK CTS interferences generators are instruments with a functionally emission of electromagnetic interference during the test (e.g., ESD, EFT, conducted RF, etc.). Therefore, a disturbance of the environment cannot be excluded. - Page 11 AMETEK CTS Automotive Transient Immunity Testing In case of internal damage, the operator may be exposed to high frequency signals of high power (up to 75 Watts and more) anywhere on the EUT. Cables and connectors can be overloaded by high voltages or energies.

Page 12: Operating Elements 200-Series
AMETEK CTS Automotive Transient Immunity Testing Operating Elements 200-series Many of the 200-series generators, such as UCS, LD, PFS, VDS, MPG, are built into a 19” housing, use a common front panel control and have a large display. Operating element as well connectors are similar, but not all connectors, in- and outputs and interfaces are available at all generators. - Page 13 AMETEK CTS Automotive Transient Immunity Testing 10 Earth plug for verification (select generators only) This earth plug can be used during pulse verification special for pulse 3a/3b verification. 11 LED Battery Switch (select generators only) The red LED shows whether the battery switch is off or on. For negative pulses the battery switch is switched OFF during pulse generation.
