The instrument was designed specically as a test and measuring device. Compliance
to the EMC directive is through IEC 61326-1 Electrical equipment for measurement,
control and laboratory use.
As noted in the IEC 61326-1, the instrument can have varying congurations. The
instrument was tested in a typical conguration with shielded RS-232 cables.
1.5.2 Immunity Testing
Using Clamp-On Ferrites
For the –R model only, clamp-on ferrites are provided for use in improving its electro-
magnetic (EM) immunity in environments of excessive EM interference. During EMC
testing we found that ferrites clamped around probe cables for the Reference PRT in-
put reduced the risk the EM interference affects measurements. Therefore, we recom-
mend that the clamp-on ferrites provided be used on the cables of probes attached to
the readout, especially if the product is used near sources of EM interference such as
heavy industrial equipment.
To attach a ferrite to a probe cable, make a loop in the cable near the connector and
clamp the ferrite around half of the loop as shown in the diagram. The ferrite can be
easily snapped open and moved to a new probe when needed.

1.5.3 Emission Testing
The instrument fullls the limit requirements for Class A equipment. The instrument
was not designed to be used in domestic establishments.
1.5.4 Low Voltage Directive (Safety)
In order to comply with the European Low Voltage Directive (2006/95/EC), Bea-
mex equipment has been designed to meet the EN 61010-1 and the EN 61010-2-010
standards.
