Sinusoidal interference   
The following table shows the EMC behavior of the modules with respect to sinusoidal 
interference. This requires the HMI device to meet the specifications and directives for 
electrical installation. 
 
Sinusoidal interference  Test values  Degree of 
severity 
HF radiation (in 
electromagnetic fields) in 
accordance with IEC 61000-
4-3 
•  80% amplitude modulation at 1 kHz  
with 10 V/m in the range of 80 MHz to 1 GHz 
with 3 V/m in the range 1.4 GHz to 2 GHz 
with 1 V/m the range 2 GHz to 2.7 GHz 
•  10 V/m with 50% pulse modulation at 900 MHz 
10 V/m with 50% pulse modulation at 1.89 GHz

Emission of radio interference    
The following table shows the unwanted emissions from electromagnetic fields in 
accordance with EN 55011, Limit Value Class A, Group 1, measured at a distance of 10 m. 
 
From 30 to 230 MHz  < 40 dB (μV/m) quasi-peak 
From 230 to 1000 MHz  < 47 dB (μV/m) quasi-peak 
Additional measures 
To connect an HMI device to the public electric network, you must ensure its compliance 
with Limit Value Class B to EN 55022.  
8.2.2  ESD guideline 
What does ESD mean?      
An electronic module is equipped with highly integrated components. Due to their design, 
electronic components are highly sensitive to overvoltage and thus to the discharge of static 
electricity. Such electronic components or modules are labeled as electrostatic sensitive 
devices. 
The following abbreviations are commonly used for electrostatic sensitive devices: 
●  ESD – Electrostatic sensitive device 
●  ESD – Electrostatic Sensitive Device as a common international designation
