6.2.
Safety instructions for installation and initial installation
National regulations in installation and operation of electrical equipment must be respected.
WARNING
WARNING
6.2.1.
Qualifications of the staff
Basic knowledge of electrical engineering and electromagnetic compatibility is required to service the unit. The national
regulations for installation of electrical equipment as well as the safety at work of electrical equipment must be known to the
user.
6.2.2.
Installation
The burst NX8 generator conforms to protection class 1. Local installation regulations must be respected to ensure the safe
flow of leakage currents.
WARNING
Two independent ground connections are necessary - one for the test system and one for the EUT. These must be connected
back to the local permanent installation or to a fixed, permanent ground conductor.
Operate the equipment only in dry surroundings. Any condensation that occurs must be allowed to evaporate before putting
the equipment into operation. Do not exceed the permissible ambient temperature or humidity levels. Use only officially
approved connectors and accessory items.
Ensure that a reliable return path for the interference current is provided between the EUT and the generator. The ground
reference plane and the ground connections to the instruments, as described in the relevant test standards, serve this
purpose well.
The test system may only be opened by a qualified specialist upon specific instruction given by the manufacturer. The
equipment works on principle, with two independent power supplies, one for the generator and one for the EUT. The burst
NX8 must be disconnected from both sources before any modifications to the test setup are undertaken. Besides the mains
connections themselves, certain components also operate at high voltages, and are not provided with any form of extra
protection against accidental contact.
The system complies with the safety requirements of IEC/EN 61010-1 (Safety requirements for electrical equipment for
measurement, control, and laboratory use).
It is the user's responsibility to ensure that the test rig does not emit excessive electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might
affect other equipment. The test system itself does not produce any excessive radiation; however, the injection of interference
pulses into the EUT can result in the device and/or its associated cables radiating EMI. To avoid radiating unwanted
interference the standards organizations recommend that the test setup be in a Faraday cage.
Since the purpose of the test system is to produce interference signals for interference immunity testing, the requirements in
the IEC/EN 61000 series concerning limiting the radiated EMI can only be complied with by operating the test system inside a
Faraday cage.
The burst NX8 test system is not suitable for use in an explosive atmosphere.
Connect the EUT only after the initial system setup has finished.
Operation without a ground connection is forbidden!
