Use of the CM-3CDEFT-32 with any other equipment may result in risk of electric shock, damage to equipment, and risk of fire.

  • Page 8: Immunity Testing Guidelines

    Consider distance to the floor or table and walls if air is the insulating material.  Ensure that the proper supply mains voltages are applied to both Thermo Scientific equipment and to the equipment under test, and that the AC branch circuit is capable of supplying the current.

  • Page 9: Safety Concerns During Immunity Testing

    Safety Concerns During Immunity Testing Immunity testing is hazardous. The equipment under test (EUT) can ignite, possibly explosively. Noxious, toxic and sometimes fatal fumes can be generated by the burning equipment. Accumulated gases may ignite explosively (i.e., flashover). In an environment where Immunity testing takes place, it is absolutely crucial that these minimum safety precautions be taken: ...

  • Page 10: Inappropriate Uses

    Use only adapters and cables and accessories which have been approved for use with this unit. Connect only to Thermo Scientific equipment which has been approved for use with this unit. DO NOT connect to any other test equipment. DO NOT modify front panel jumpers for multiple line Surge coupling.

    Mains [Coupler] and minimize surge or EFT energy which may couple to the AC Mains of the building [Decoupler]. The CM-3CDEFT-32 is a manual tester, in which the EFT operation is programmed from the front panel via switches. Programming is fast and simple. Operation is semi-automatic when used with EMCPro series test equipment, a Personal Computer, and the CEWare software, where the CEWare software can provide pauses and prompt the operator to change switches.

  • Page 12: Installation

    Carefully check all shipping materials for accessories which may be packaged with the CM-3CDEFT-32. Voltage Selection The CM-3CDEFT-32 must be set for the mains voltage at your site. This is usually done before shipment, but must be checked before installation and use. On the rear of the CM-3CDEFT-32 check that the voltage select block is set to the proper mains voltage.
  • Page 13 The CM-3CDEFT-32 has an AC Mains cord which plugs into the rear of the unit, via a standard IEC-320 connector. This provides fan and control power to the CM-3CDEFT-32, and is required for operation. The EUT Power input is a pin and sleeve connector, rated for the current and voltage of the Equipment Under Test.
  • Page 14 EUT inlet and outlet connectors. The CM-3CDEFT-32 is internally protected at 32 or 16 amperes. When used with a single- phase AC, or Direct Current (DC) power source, if the EUT load or cabling requires current limiting protection of less than the CM-3CDEFT-32 rating, it is the responsibility of the user to provide that protection.

    100 - 120 Vac, 50/60 Hz 220 - 240 Vac, 50/60 Hz The voltage range configured is identified by label on the rear panel of the CM-3CDEFT-32. The voltage range may be easily changed with a screwdriver, following the directions of the Installation, Voltage Selection section of this manual.

  • Page 16: Use Of The Cm-3Cdeft-32 With Ground-Fault Interrupters (Gfi)

    Use of the CM-3CDEFT-32 with Ground-Fault Interrupters (GFI) Problems may result when using the CM-3CDEFT-32 on AC mains protected by Ground- Fault Interrupters (GFIs). The problem is due to a clamp circuit, protecting the building Mains from excessive voltage during surge, and from the coupling network which connects the generator to the AC mains during the event, and creates a short pulse of mains current in PE, tripping the GFI.

  • Page 17: Physical Environment

    Physical Environment The CM-3CDEFT-32 systems are intended for operation in a laboratory environment, protected from excess dust, humidity, and temperature. * No condensing humidity or standing water on the floor or work surfaces. * No significant dust or other contamination.

  • Page 18: Test Area Considerations And Site Preparation

    The system must be mounted on a level surface. For EFT testing the EFT generator and CM-3CDEFT-32 should be mounted on the floor, on the ground reference plane. For other testing, the EFT generator and CM-3CDEFT-32 may be placed on a table that can support the weight of the units.

    0.01 inch, which must be bonded to building Protective Earth (PE) ground. In addition, the cabinet of the EFT generator and CM-3CDEFT-32 must be directly tied to the ground reference plane. Provision for a mounting bracket is made on the rear and bottom of the CM-3CDEFT-32 and the bracket and screws are provided.

  • Page 20: Introduction

    Basic De-Coupler Network For EFT, the CM-3CDEFT-32 is designed to operate with the EMCPro series. The coupling network required to connect the surge to the AC Mains is built into the CM-3CDEFT-32. Operating the CM-3CDEFT-32 with any equipment other than those recommended may damage equipment,...
  • Page 21 The CM-3CDEFT-32 is programmed from the front panel, and all connections to the Equipment Under Test (EUT) are made from the front panel. The front panel controls and features are broken into three major groups: EMCPro to CM-3CDEFT-32 Interconnections, Equipment Under Test Connections and the User Interface (Programming).
  • Page 22 Equipment Under Test Connections: Connection to the Equipment Under Test (EUT) is via five safety sockets on the lower right of the CM-3CDEFT-32 front panel. Five, unassembled safety socket connectors are provided with the CM-3CDEFT-32; additional connectors are available from MultiContact.

  • Page 23: Programming Eft

    Programming EFT To program EFT, first connect the CM-3CDEFT-32 and EFT generator using the coax cable provided with the CM-3CDEFT-32. Connect EFT Output on the EFT generator to the coax connector of the CM-3CDEFT-32. EMCPRO Use the cables supplied with the CM- 3CDEFT-32 -- do not substitute.
  • Page 24 For all pre-programmed tests, remember that you are only testing the single coupling mode that you have programmed at the CM-3CDEFT-32 front panel. In many cases, for a complete test, you will have to change coupling mode and continue until all modes have been tested.

  • Page 25: Maintenance

    Maintenance Service and Maintenance Issues There are no user serviceable parts within the CM-3CDEFT-32. Service is solely by Thermo Fisher Scientific trained, authorized technicians. The system power connector contains a fuse block, holding two, 5mm, 1.0A 250V time- delay fuses. These may be replaced by removing the mains cordset from the power connector and prying the cover off the fuse holder with a small screw driver.
