1. Safety
1.1. Safety Aspects
Observe all precautions to assure your personal safety. The generators comply with Installation Category II
(excess voltage section).
Pay special attention to safety and operation details!
1.2. Safety and warning label on the device
Please take note of the following explanations of the symbols used in order to achieve the optimum benefit from
this manual and to ensure safety during operation of the equipment.
This symbol warns of a potential risk of shock hazard. The symbol on an instrument
shows that that it can source 1000 volt or more, including the combined effect of
normal and common mode voltages. Use standard safety precautions to avoid
personal contact with these voltages.
This symbol indicates where a caution is required. Refer to the operating
instructions located in the manual in order to protect against personal injury or
damage the equipment.
GROUND Indicates protective Ground Terminal
*CAUTION”
The “CAUTION” symbol indicates a potential hazard. It calls attention to a
procedure, practice or condition which, if not followed, could possibly cause damage
to equipment. Such damage may invalidate the warranty. If a “CAUTION” is
indicated, do not proceed until its conditions are fully understood and met.
“WARNING”
The “WARNING” symbol indicates a potential hazard. It calls attention to a
procedure, practice or condition which, if not followed, could possibly cause bodily
injured or death. If a “WARNING” is indicated, do not proceed until its conditions are
fully understood and met.
Power Supply
If not stated otherwise, the equipment is intended to operate with a power supply not to exceed 250 volts
between phase and neutral or between phase and ground. A proper ground connection through the ground
connector of the power cord is essential for safe operation.
Grounding the Generators
The generators are grounded through the power cord. To avoid electric shock, plug the power cord into a
properly installed receptacle which was tested by a qualified electrician. Have the test performed before
connecting equipment.
Without the protective ground connection, all parts of the generators are potential electric shock hazards. This
may include components which appear to be insulated. The equipment MUST NOT BE USED if this protection
is altered.
Use the Proper Power Cord
Use only power cords and connector specified for your product. Use only power cords in good condition.
Use Proper Fuses
To avoid fire hazard, use only fuses as specified in the parts listing for your product - matching type, voltage and
current rating.
Do Not Remove Covers or Panels
To avoid personal injury, do not operate the generators without panels and covers.

AMETEK CTs NetWave
Do Not Operate in an Explosive Environment
Electric Overload
Never apply power to a connector which is not specified for that particular voltage/current.
1.3. Responsibility of the operator
These operating instructions form an essential part of the equipment and must be available to the operator at all
times. The user must obey all safety instructions and warnings.
WARNING
The purpose of this instrument is the generation of defined interferences signals for EMI
immunity testing. Depending on the arrangement of the test rig, the configuration, the cabling
and the properties of the EUT itself, a significant amount of electromagnetic radiation may
result that could also affect other equipment and systems.
The equipment is designed to operate in industrial environment. For operating in other or
sensitive environment, such as light industry, airport area…, the user may use a shielded
room for operate.
The user himself or herself is ultimately responsible for the correct and controlled operation
of the rig. In case of doubt, the tests should be carried out in a Faraday cage.
1.4. General hazard
Before applying power to the system, verify that your product is configured properly for your application.
WARNING
The generators and their accessories operate at high voltages.
Hazardous voltages may be present when covers are removed. Qualified personnel must
use extreme caution when servicing this equipment.
Circuit boards, test points, and output voltages also may be floating above (below) chassis
ground.
The design of external insulation must be such that it exceeds the maximum voltages of
the device.
WARNING
Risk of electrical shock by touching the output plugs
For reduce the output voltage to low values it is necessary to set the voltage to zero volt.
The output voltage might be present on DPA 500N / 503N or AIF output plugs after closing
the software. The source output must be switched off.
Only qualified personnel who deal with attendant hazards in impulse generators, are allowed to perform
installation and servicing.
Ensure that the AC power line ground is connected properly to the Power Rack input connector or chassis.
Similarly, other power ground lines including those to application and maintenance equipment must be
grounded properly for both personnel and equipment safety.
Always ensure that facility AC input power is de-energized prior to connecting or disconnecting any cable.
The user must ensure that the output power lines are labeled properly as to the safety hazards and that any
inadvertent contact with hazardous voltages is eliminated.
Guard against risks of electrical shock during open cover checks by not touching any portion of the electrical
circuits. Even when power is off, capacitors may retain an electrical charge. Use safety glasses during open
cover checks to avoid personal injury by any sudden component failure.
Neither AMETEK CTS GmbH, nor any of the subsidiary sales organizations can accept any responsibility for
personnel, material or inconsequential injury, loss or damage that results from improper use of the equipment
and accessories.

3.6.4.Mechanical Installation
The NetWave is a completely self-contained power source. It may be used free standing on a bench top or
rack mounted with trolley. The unit is fan cooled, drawing air in from the front and exhausting at the rear.
At the rear side at least 0.5 m clearance must be maintained. More space will be needed when the operator
need recently to change connectors.

3.6.7.Input Wiring
The input CEE type plug or Screw terminal is located at the rear of the unit. The mains source must have a
current rating equal to or greater than the input circuit breaker / fuses and the input wiring must be sized to
satisfy the applicable electrical codes.
Step 1: Power supply (mains)
Remove the cover for mains input (1) and connect
the mains line to the mains input connectors.
Step 2: EUT power supply
Connect the EUT to the EUT output on:
- Safety lab connectors or
- Disconnect the cover (2) and fix the power
cable.

Caution
Capacitors in the power source may hold a hazardous electrical charge even if the
power source has been disconnected from the mains supply. Allow capacitors to
discharge to a safe voltage before touching exposed pins of mains supply
connectors.
3.6.8.Output Wiring
The output Plugs, are located at the front and rear of the unit. The external sense inputs allow the
power system output voltages to be monitored directly at the load and must be connected either at
the load when the sense is programmed for external.
The external sense input does not have to be connected when Internal Sense is programmed. The
external sense wires are to be connected to the SENSE input on the rear panel and should be run
as a twisted pair for short lengths. Sense leads over one meter long should be run as a twisted
shielded pair.
Note
The output of the NetWave is not isolated from the input line. (NW 3 / 5 / 7)
Floating operation from the input needs an optional insulating transformer. This option
allows if either side (HIGH or LOW) needed, may be grounded.
