Introduction ETS-Lindgren's EMCenter™ EM8 is the latest member of the EM family of products capable of significantly higher data collection speeds. The EMCenter™ EM8 Modular Test System forms the heart of many different EMC and RF test systems. The EMCenter has the ability to store up to eight (8) instrument plug-in cards, which can all be controlled and used simultaneously.
8-Slot Example Application The international standard ISO11451-5 vehicle test methods for electrical disturbances from narrowband radiated electromagnetic energy – part 5: reverberation chamber describes the measurement of E-fields at eight reference points as part of the immunity test in a reverb chamber. For this application, the EMCenter EM8 can be configured with eight EMSense laser powered E-field probes, allowing the fast and accurate measurement of the isotropic field strength within the working volume of the chamber.

Operation Installation CAUTION: Before connecting any components, follow the safety information in the ETS-Lindgren Product Information Bulletin included with your shipment. WARNING: Always unplug the unit before starting maintenance to prevent electrical shock. Maintenance includes removal of the plug-in cards or the top panel.
5. Secure the card by tightening the four previous screws using a Pozi type screwdriver head PZ1. 6. Plug the interlock into the connector on the back of the EMCenter. 7. Connect the desired device(s) to the correct plug-in card. 8.

Power Button How long you press the power button determines which function is used: • ON/OFF (1 sec) To power ON the EM8, press and hold the power button for one second until the LED ring around the button lights up in white. After a brief moment, the LED ring will begin flashing, indicating the booting process.

LASER Button When the EM8 is equipped with plugin cards, including one or multiple plugin cards containing lasers, the LASER ON button takes on a critical role. Its primary function is to activate the lasers safely simultaneously on all installed plugin cards. To maintain safety standards, initiating the laser power in the plugin cards follows a twostep process: entering a designated 'laser code' and manually activating the lasers.
Back Panel Mains Plug the power supply cable into the mains inlet of the EM8, power the system by toggling the mains switch located beneath the mains inlet. Ethernet There is no display, so everything is controlled exclusively via the Ethernet connection. Therefore, an Ethernet cable must be connected to the rear of the EM8 and your network for proper functionality.
Network configuration The EM8 is factory configured with standard static Ethernet addresses: Slot number IP Address Port number EM8 system 192.168.1.200 Slot 1 192.168.1.201 27531 Slot 2 192.168.1.202 27531 Slot 3 192.168.1.203 27531 Slot 4 192.168.1.204 27531 Slot 5 192.168.1.205 27531 Slot 6 192.168.1.206...
