EM TEST Compact NX5
Operating Manual V 1.06 74 / 143
Maintenance setup and service
General
Inside the test system there are no adjustable elements accessible to the user neither for calibration nor for
maintenance purpose.
The housing of the test system must not be opened. Should any maintenance or adjustment become necessary,
the whole test system, together with an order or fault report, should be sent to an AMETEK CTS service center.
Maintenance and cleaning
The generator is absolutely maintenance-free by using a solid state semiconductor switch to generate transients.
Maintenance by the user is restricted to cleaning the outer housing, performing a function check and verification
of the pulse parameters.
In general, a moist cloth is sufficient for cleaning the outer housing, including the touch panel. If necessary add a
small amount of a mild, non-foaming household cleanser.
No chemicals (acid, etc.) should be used for cleaning purposes.
Before beginning to clean the test system ensure that it is switched off and the mains power cable is unplugged
from the supply.
When setting up the test national and international regulations
regarding human safety have to be guaranteed.
It is recommended to connect the simulator to the ground reference
plane of the test set-up.
The generators of the compact NX series and their coupling networks,
can be linked together to a fully automotive test set-up.
The set-up communicates via the Ethernet / optical link is controlled by
software. For setting up the system see the following figures:
Insulating- or external transformer for EUT power supply
The recommended power of an external transformer must be > 500VA. The reason is the
capacitive current of the internal filter capacitors inside the compact NX5.
