Overview
The CWS 500N1.3 is the most compact single box test equipment for testing conducted rf immunity per IEC 61000-4-6 Ed. 3 and Ed. 4 and related standards with a frequency range of 10 kHz to 400 MHz. Apart from the 1 kHz 80 % AM signal the generator also generates a 2 Hz 80 % AM signal to test medical appliances and a 1 Hz PM signal with 50 % duty cycle required to test safety equipment like fire alarms. Equipped with a 1 GHz current monitor the CWS 500N1.3 can be used up to 1 GHz by means of an external amplifier. EM TEST supplies a large range of CDNs, EM clamp and current injection clamps as well as the corresponding calibration accessories. Full compliant levelling can be run from the front panel of the CWS 500N1.3 storing the results in 5 memory spaces is available.
Operating Functions
Front Panel | |
 | |
| 1 | "Test On" By pressing the key "TEST ON", the test procedure can be started with the pre-selected parameters and amplifier is turned ON. | 7 | Escape The ESC button returns back to the previous level in the menu. |
| 2 | Function Keys "F1 .. F7" Parameters and functions displayed in the lowest line and functions displayed with ”F “, can be selected with the related function key. | 8 | LED Current Probe Input At the BNC output the current pulse of the generator can be measured. Dividing ratio is 10:1 (5V at 50A pulse). |
| 3 | Display All functions and parameters are displayed (8 lines with max. 40 characters). | 9 | LED RF Output When the RF output is active this LED on the front panel is illuminated to indicate that a test signal is applied to the test object. |
| 4 | EXIT The EXIT button resets the firmware to the main menu. This is only possible, if no test routine is running. | 10 | RF-Output At this output the RF power is available. The 6dB-attenuator is connected via coaxial cable. For conducting tests together with CDN’s, EM clamps or current injection clamps, the generator must always be loaded with a 6dB-attenuator as per IEC 61000-4-6. |
| 5 | Cursor key Parameters and functions can be changed during the test. The selection of these parameters is done with the cursor, moving it to the left or to the right. The increment value of the selected parameters in the lowest line can also be selected with the cursor key. | 11 | Current Probe Input For tests with a coupling clamp where the EUT current has to be monitored, the current probe can be connected to this input. |
| 6 | Exit Knob (Inc / Dec) This knob increments or decrements test parameters with a numeric value or selects parameters from a list. | ATTENTION: Do not connect the RF output directly to this input otherwise the CWS500 might damage. | |

| 1 | Amp OUT / Coupler IN Bridge for connect the amplifier output to the dual directional coupler. | 7 | IEEE 488 Parallel Interface IEEE 488 interface with IEEE connector. |
| 2 | Air output Air output of the heated air of the CWS 500N1.x generator. For sufficient cooling time, take care that at least a 20 cm free space is behind the Air output. | 8 | USB Serial Interface |
| 3 | Amp In / SG Out The internal signal generator can control an external amplifier. Disconnect the short circuit link for this operation. Plug the external amplifier to the connector “SG OUT”. | 9 | Remote Control Connector |
| 4 | Safety Circuit Only when the Safety Circuit is closed, the test can started. Opening the Safety Circuit during a test will interrupt the RF amplifier power and stop the test. | 10 | Fail 1 Detection "Stop" |
| 5 | Power On Switch The switch and the main fuses are part of this box. (230V / 3.15AT or 115V / 6.3AT) | 11 | Fail 2 Detection "Pause" |
| 6 | 115/230V Power selector Input power selector for input voltage 115V – 230V. Switch the unit off when change the voltage in another position. |
