A.1 Electromagnetic compatibility
Definition
Electromagnetic compatibility is the ability of an electric device to function satisfac-
torily in its electromagnetic environment without interfering with its environment.
The requirements fulfilled by the C230-2 include those of the EMC Statute of the
Single European Market.
Below you will find information on immunity to noise and data on radio interference
suppression.
