4 THE esd NX30 SYSTEM
By using the latest materials, construction methods and manufacturing techniques for the robust housing shell, together with
highly insulated modules, the newest high voltage technology, the touch-sensitive operating panel and a control unit built
using the SMD technique, it has been possible to integrate all the functions that a comprehensive simulator system should
offer into one compact instrument.
Professional industrial designers have ensured an optimized ergonomic concept. The instrument, with its well-balanced
handgrip, sits comfortably in the user’s hand and guarantees non-tiring operation. Both the operating elements and the dis-
play window remain in view of the user while work is in progress.
The esd NX30 offers optimal freedom of movement around the work-place and is an ideal test instrument not just for the
development engineer but also for quality control purposes, system tests and for investigations in the field.
The esd NX30 features additionally a build in, switched, bleed off function. This function is particularly useful in applications
where the EUT discharge point is not connected to ground (ex: battery powered equipment, connector pins , etc.). In such
cases a build in bleed off function can avoid external manual bleed off to be done between 2 discharges.
As supplied in the basic set, the system is equipped with a 150 pF / 330 Ω discharge network for the IEC / EN 61000-4-2
and ISO 10605 standards.
The discharge voltage of up to 30 kV for both air-discharges and contact-discharges ensure a comfortable test margin over
and above the levels called for in the standards.
The instrument is well equipped to cope with other (and future) standards. The accessories include various networks and
discharge tips that can be attached by the user himself.
The basic set contains everything necessary for general use. A rich assortment of accessories for special tasks is available
such as a remote triggering unit, further discharge networks, an ergonomically shaped carrying case, a tripod adapter, test
tips, etc.
