1 Description
1.1.1 Electrostatic discharge ESD
Electro Static Discharge
Figure: 1.0.2
What causes electrostatic discharges?
A person becomes electrostatically charged by walking over an insulating floor surface. The capacity of the
body can be charged to several kilovolts (1000 V). This capacity is discharged when contact is made with an
electronic unit or system. The discharge is visible as a spark in many cases and can be felt by person
concerned, who gets a „shock“. The discharges are harmless to humans, but not to sensitive, modern
electronic equipment. The resulting current causes interference in the units or makes entire systems
„crash“.
For over 25 years it has been known to the electrical industry that electrostatic discharges as encountered
every day can have a disastrous effect on electronic equipment.
The cost of damage caused by ESD is difficult to assess, but amounts to billions of dollars world-wide.
The areas most affected are:
•manufacturing of integrated circuits (chips).
•the chemical industry, e.g. by explosion, fires caused by the sparks from electrostatic discharges.
•malfunctioning of process control with the secondary damage costs. characteristics

61010 (IEC61010) the declaration of conformity to low voltage directive (LVD 73/23/EEC O.J.N° L77, 1973-
03-26) is given.
This manual is a integral part of the ESD3000 tester. The instructions
contained in the manual regarding operation and the test set up are to
be strictly observed
2.2 Climatic Conditions
The ESD3000 contains high voltage circuits in integrated form. EMC PARTNER only guarantees a correct

Contact discharge not influenced by: direct solar radiation, rain or condense water, dust or larger
electro magnetic fields as specified in the EMC compatibility
chapter.
The ESD3000 should be operated in a dry, clean room. If for any reason water condenses in the ESD3000,
then no operation should be started before the tester is dry.
It is strictly forbidden to operate the ESD3000 in rooms with of gas explosion risk.
The high voltage of the ESD3000 generate sparks, which can ignite the gas.
People with heart pacemakers should not be in the vicinity of the test set up during operation.

ESD3000-System
16/66
2.3 Precautionary measure during use
The ESD3000 generates high voltages. The energy content of the 30 kV modules is high
and can be dangerous with improper use. It is wise to observe the following rules
•Never touch the EUT when a test is in operation.
•Touch no connectors of connection cable or tips when a EMC test is in operation.
•The high voltage of the ESD3000 and the power on the EUT must turned off before a manipulation on
the EUT is carried out.
•For all tests the 2 m ground cable must be connected to ground.
2.4 Electromagnetic Compatibility
The outputs of the ESD3000 and the discharge to the EUT will emit disturbances.
Please consider the national emission rules.
The Test System ESD3000 should not be operated near sensitive measuring and
control systems.
The ESD3000 fulfils the following immunity requirements
•Electrostatic discharge Level 4 (8 kV) (IEC 61000-4-2)
2.5 The manual is an integral part of the equipment. Refer to the manual.
This manual is an integral part of the ESD3000. The safety rules and precautions in the manual must
be observed. EMC PARTNER and their representatives are not responsible for damage to persons
and equipment by not observance the safety rules and precautions in the manual.
2.6 No operation of ESD3000 without ground wire
The ESD3000 must be operated with a ground wire attached to the battery case

The ESD test System consist of ESD3000, the discharge modules (DM) or relay module and networks.
The batteries, the charger and control are part of ESD3000. The discharge modules or networks includes
the high voltage generation and the wave-shaping network.
ESD3000 with one discharge module Discharge Module
The screw on the bottom side of the ESD3000 must be unscrewed, before the DM can be pull out and
changed with an other one. The modules can be inserted only in one position.
3.2.3 Avoiding Mechanical Damage to Discharge Modules
ESD3000 discharge modules contain components sensitive to mechanical shock. When modules suffer
mechanical shock they can be damaged beyond repair.
When ESD3000 modules are not in use, place them in the transport case. Do not
allow them to roll around on the test bench or fall onto the floor.

4 Control Panel
4.1 Front panel of the ESD3000
The operator should study the manual in detail. Only instructed personal is allowed to operate the ESD3000.
The most important elements of the front panel are:
1. Display
2. Voltage up or menu command line up
3. Voltage down or menu command line down
4. Run button: With the „Run“ button, a test can be started or interrupted. With the run button the unit is
turned „ON“
5. Enter
6. Selection of the programmed test levels. The programmed test levels changes with discharge module
interchange
7. Polarity selection
8. Screw for looking the discharge modules. The same screw can be used for fix the ESD3000 on a
tripod stand.
9. Trigger button: When manual trigger is programmed and the tester is ready for manual trigger, this will
be signalled by the LED. As soon as the signal occurs the pulse can be released.

4.4 Inputs and Outputs
The control of the ESD3000 is carried out by a microprocessor. The microprocessor controls the EMC tests,
stores the inputs of the numeric input terminal, updates the display, checks whether the inputs of the
operators are allowed values or not. The operator communicates with the ESD3000 via the input terminal
and the display.
This plate is reserved for the CE mark. The CE -mark is needed for the free movement of the goods into
and within European community.
Via this interface port, the ESD3000 can be also controlled by an external PC. To configure the interface,
see Chapter 13 „Remote Control“.
