    AMETEK CTS Automotive Immunity Test Generators 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 Immunity Test Generators 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 Immunity Test Generators 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 Immunity Test Generators 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 Immunity Test Generators 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 Immunity Test Generators 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 Immunity Test Generators Cables and connectors can be overloaded by high voltages or energies. Due to internal damage of components fire and/or explosion may occur. Unintended use of the EUT may cause hazardous situations in the vicinity of the test area.
