[7] Radiation level mode selection switch A special operation for selecting either normal mode (NORMAL) [Switch LED turns on] or extra mode (EXTRA) [Switch LED turns off] for the radiation from the discharge gun.
9. RADIATION LEVEL MODE FUNCTION To improve the reliability of its electrostatic discharge simulators, Noise Laboratory released the new TC-815R discharge gun in 2004. The new discharge gun was an upgrade of the TC-815P model and featured reduced ringing in the output current waveform and lower radiated noise from the discharge gun.
9. RADIATION LEVEL MODE FUNCTION [2] Different voltage waveform With IEC 61000-4-2 and ISO 10605 standards, there is the difference in the voltage waveform which does not have stipulation. Conditions under which differences in waveform appear. Electrostatic discharge mode: Contact discharge The electrostatic discharge is applied to a point at which the impedance between the discharge tip and discharge gun GND is 2MΩ...
9. RADIATION LEVEL MODE FUNCTION 9-4. How to Select Extra Mode (EXTRA) If the radiation level mode selection switch is held down when the POWER switch is turned on, the simulator starts up in extra mode (EXTRA). (When the POWER switch is turned on normally, the simulator starts in normal mode (NORMAL).) The radiation level mode selection cannot be changed while the simulator is running.
CONNECTIONS Turn the power switch to "Off" on the instrument before connecting or changing any of the cables Failure to comply with this rule may result in electric shock, injury, or misoperation. Do not insert objects into the instrument and its connectors Inserting metallic or flammable items into the ventilation slits, connectors, or other openings may result in fire, electric shock, or similar.
10. Connections 10-2. Connecting the AC Power Cable Plug the AC power cable into a socket that has a protective earth terminal The AC power cable provided with the instrument has a three-pin plug that connects to the power supply and protective earth terminal. The protective earth on the three-pin plug connects via the AC power cable to the metal parts on the instrument.
OPERATION 11-1. Turning the Power On or Off Press the "|" side of the power switch on the rear of the simulator to turn on the power. This lights up the operation panel display. Press the "O" side of the power switch to turn off the power and the operation panel display.

BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE ABOUT ELECTROSTATIC TESTING 1) Principle of electrostatic tester The basic circuit of an electrostatic is shown below. The high voltage generated in the high voltage power supply is charged in the charging capacitor through the charging relay and charging resistance. When the charging relay is turned off and the discharging relay is turned on, the high voltage (electric charge) accumulated in the charging capacitor is applied to EUT through the discharging resistance.

12. Background Knowledge About Electrostatic Testing 3) Contact Discharge and Air Discharge The electrostatic discharge can be applied either by direct contact (CONTACT) or via the air (AIR). The test procedure and electrostatic simulator operation are different in each case, as described below. The effect on the EUT is also different. - Contact discharge (CONTACT) The electrostatic discharge is applied by placing the discharge tip in direct contact with the case of the EUT (if the case is painted, the paint is peeled off to...
