By design, V-networks exhibit high leakage currents. Moreover, by principle, such a device does not have standard-compliant isolation and there is no fuse in the measuring circuit (the R&S ENV4200 only has a fuse in the auxiliary circuit of the ventilation system). Hence, users must be protected against touching conductive parts that may carry live mains voltage.

In general, when the R&S ENV4200 is operated, make sure that the air supply is not obstructed from above or below. Since the device has air vents located on the bottom side, it must be placed upon a nonflammable base (e.g.
Deliver the unsymmetric disturbance voltage generated by the EUT to the test receiver in a defined manner ● Decouple the test circuit from mains disturbances The R&S ENV4200 V-network is built with air-core inductances (50 μH and 250 μH) and conforms to the requirements specified in CISPR 16-1-2.

Observe the notes in the "Safety instructions" chapter and the protective earth instructions in the "Protective earthing" section! In general, when the R&S ENV4200 is operated, make sure that the air supply is not obstructed from above or below. Since the device has air vents located on the bottom side, it must be placed upon a nonflammable base (e.g.
R&S ENV4200 Preparing for Use 4.4 AC Supply Electric shock due to incorrect power supply. Due to the design, V-networks do not have standards-compliant insulation, do not have a fuse in the measuring circuit and exhibit high leakage currents. In order to protect the user from contact with electrically live instrument parts, the power supply connection of this V-network must be made by experienced electrically skilled personnel.
Page 32
R&S ENV4200 Preparing for Use V-networks such as the R&S ENV4200 may also not contain any power fuses. Therefore, the connected mains supply must be sufficiently fused. The maximum permissible continuous current voltage is 200 A. Accordingly, the power supply must be protected at 200 A.
R&S ENV4200 Preparing for Use 4.5 Connecting the RF Reference Ground The V-network is connected to the PE protective earth conductor of the power supply through the protective earth conductor terminal. However, this is unsuitable as an RF reference mass for interference voltage measurement. Therefore, the V-network must be connected to an appropriate RF reference ground to obtain reproducible and correct measurement results.
R&S ENV4200 Preparing for Use Make sure that the RF reference ground is not impacted by disturbance voltages (e.g. from an industrial network) when the protective earth conductor is connected to the protective earth. If this is the case, the protective earth must be connected via a PE choke.

V-network corresponds to the local AC supply voltage. The R&S ENV4200 can be set for two different nominal AC supply voltages: 115 V and 230 V. In the 115 V setting, the nominal AC supply voltage range is 100 V to 120 V. In the 230 V setting, the nominal AC supply voltage range is 220 V to 240 V.
R&S ENV4200 Preparing for Use Fig. 8 Low-temperature socket, fuse holder and line voltage selector After selection of the voltage range, connect the V-network to the supply voltage using the supplied power cable. If the V-network is correctly connected, one of the four green LEDs for displaying the test path should light up (depending on the position of the LINE SELECTION rotary switch).
R&S ENV4200 Preparing for Use 4.8 10 dB Attenuator The built-in 10 dB attenuator attenuates the disturbance voltage emitted by the EUT by 10 dB. The attenuator ensures the 50 Ω termination required to meet the impedance tolerance, improves matching with the test receiver and provides a sufficiently high ohmic internal resistance to ensure correct functioning of the pulse limiter.
RC combination. The RC combination is a series connection of a 220 pF capacitor C and a 510 Ω resistor R that is built into the R&S ENV4200. It can be connected to the EUT via the 4 mm banana jack on the front (ARTIFICIAL HAND).
V-network is fused correctly (see also chapter AC Supply). When the R&S ENV4200 is operated, make sure that the air supply from above and below and from the side is not obstructed. The device may not be operated unsupervised and must be placed on a nonflammable base (e.g.

EMI software, the operating menu for the ESH2-Z5 V-network also applies for control of the R&S ENV4200. For control of the R&S ENV4200 with the R&S ESxI EMI test receivers ESAI; ESBI; ESMI, the EZ-22 connecting cable is used. For control with other test receivers, the EZ-21 connecting cables (3 m or 10 m) are used.
R&S ENV4200 Preventive Maintenance and Care 7 Preventive Maintenance and Care The device does not need any periodic maintenance. Maintenance is essentially restricted to cleaning the exterior of the device. Remove dirt from the housing with a damp cloth. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents. The device should be switched off during cleaning.
8 Calibration and Recommended Recalibration Interval The R&S ENV4200 V-network was calibrated by the manufacturer after completion of production and was sent to the Rohde & Schwarz warehouse together with a calibration certificate. Since the V-network is neither electrically nor mechanically...
