Power mains supply
The equipment is intended to be operated from a power mains supply that will not apply more than 250Vrms between the
supply conductors or between either supply conductor and ground. A proper ground connection, through the grounding con-
ductor in the power cord, is essential for a safe system operation. This is related to the use of the dito with the optional pow-
er mains adapter type MAD. Never apply a generator's voltage to a connector which is not specified for that voltage range.
Grounding ESD setup
ESD testing can be performed with battery- or mains-powered simulators. For reduce the risk of electrostatic discharge to
the operator it is necessary to follow the rulers below:
- Use a proper grounding of the setup and ESD simulator
- Working as stated in the standard
- Follow the application guidelines in chapter 1.5.1 for a safe working
Grounding the generators
The generators are grounded through the power cord. To avoid electric shock, plug the power cord into a properly wired
receptacle where earth ground has been verified by a qualified service person. Do this before making connections to the
input or output terminals of the test equipment.
Also the 2m long grounding cable required by the IEC 61000-4-2 must be connected to the related grounding port (see un-
der Symbols) while the test is running. Without the protective ground connection, all parts of generators are potential shock
hazards. This includes knobs and controls that may appear to be insulators.
Use the Proper Power Cord
Use only the power cord and connector specified for your product. Use only a power cord that is in good condition.
Use the Proper Fuse
To avoid fire hazard, use only the fuse specified in the parts list for your product, matched by type, voltage rating and current
rating.
Do Not Remove Covers or Panels
To avoid personal injury, do not operate the generators without the panels or covers.
Do Not Operate in Explosive Atmospheres
The generators provide no explosion protection from static discharges or arcing components. Do not operate them in an
atmosphere of explosive gases.
