1Test supply PF1
The phase of the power supply for the EUT is connected to the banana connector PF1. The phase L is
conducted to the EUT voltage supply via PF1 if channel PF1 is selected in the set-up menu.
To guarantee a correct function of the synchronization the phase shall be connected to this input. The red lamp
than shall be alighted
2Test supply PF2
The phase of the power supply for the EUT is connected to the banana connector PF2. This input is generally
used for voltage dip testing as per IEC 61000-4-11. At this input the reduced dip voltage is applied The phase L
is conducted to the EUT voltage supply via PF2 if channel PF2 is selected in the set-up menu. Normally a variac
is connected to PF2, e.g., 0-250V. A motor driven variac can be controlled via a 0-10V analogue control output.
To guarantee a correct function of the synchronization the phase shall be connected to this input. The red lamp
than shall be alighted

The neutral line of the power supply for the EUT is connected to the banana connector N
4Test supply PE ( PF1/PF2 )
The protective earth line of the power supply for the EUT is connected to the banana connector PE
5SYNC input
An ac voltage to which the events shall be synchronized is connected to this input. If no voltage is available the
tests are started automatically in asynchronous mode. Normally this input shall be connected directly to L of the
channel PF1. The maximum input voltage is 250Vac
6Reference earth connection
The generator has to be connected to the reference earth plane of the test set up. The connection at the rear
part of the generator is an alternative to the grounding point at the front panel
Connection EUT supply
The EUT power supply is normally connected to
the UCS plugs PF1, N and PE
A tap of a motor variac or adapting transformer for
power fail testing is connected to the connection
PF2.
The phase synchronisation SYNC must be
connected to PF1. By missing this connection all
tests runs in asynchronous mede with no phase
angle adjust for pulse release.
The earth bolt must be connected to the ground
reference.

with a pulse shape of 5/50ns.
Attention: The generator covers complete the new specifications given in the draft revision IEC 61000-4-4 edition 2 ( 2004). This
means a new spike frequency which is selectable between 5kHz and 100kHz. The burst duration is automatically matched
between 15ms and 0.75ms. The common mode coupling is new with all copplings at the same time.
F2 Surge test
With function key F2 the user can select Surge Test as per IEC 61000-4-5 . The test pulses are high energy
pulses with a voltage shape of 1,2/50µs and a short circuit current shape of 8/20µs.
The M6A type additionally supports coupling modes to meet the ANSI standard.
In addition the test procedure for Pulse Magnetic Field testing as per IEC 61000-4-9 and the Ring Wave Test as
per IEC 61000-4-12 or ANSI/IEEE is included in this menu.
To select the RWG option the user has to enable this menu within the service menu, under “Setup” and than “Set
Voltage”.
F3 Power Fail test
With function key F3 the user can select the Power Fail Test as per IEC 61000-4-11.
The simulator will generate voltage dips and voltage fluctuations with preselectable parameters. IEC 61000-4-11
is valid for ac power supply systems. For dc supply system in future IEC 61000-4-29 shall be recommended.
In addition the test procedure for 50/60Hz Magnetic Field Testing as per IEC 61000-4-8 is included within the
menu.
The Power fail menu includes a Voltage Variation test as per IEC 61000-4-11 as test procedure. The simulator
will generate voltage variations in the second range.
Attention: The generator covers already the new specifications given in FDIS IEC 61000-4-11 ( 2004). This means the introduction of
a new 80% test level as well as a new function for the Voltage Variation test.
F4 ESD as per IEC 61000-4-2
With function key F4 the user selects the ESD mode. In addition the ESD discharge gun shall be connected to

F2: Mains supply voltage V [ V ] of the device under test. This voltage shall be specified by the operator and
depends on the type of equipment under test. The variac normally is automatically set to this output voltage.
F3: Default channel. The operator select the default channel PF1 or PF2 from which the EUT is powered.
F4: Ring Wave. For RWG testing the operator can select between two different modules:
-No module ( the RWG operation within the Surge menu is not available ).
-M4 module up to max 4000V
-M6 module up to max 6000V
F7 Magnetic field correction factors
F1 : Coil factor Af [A/m]Range [ 0.20...9.99 step 0.01 ]
F2 : Transformer factor Tf [A/V]Range [ 0.020...9.999 step 0.001 ]
F3 : Impedance factor If [A/V]Range [ 0.20...1.00 step 0.01 ]
These values are delivered together with the necessary options to conducted magnetic field testing.
-Coil factor depends on the type of antenna which is used for the test.
-Transformer factor depends on the type of transformer which is used for the test.
-Impedance factor depends on the type of surge generator which is used for the test. A generator with a
source impedance of 2Ωneeds an impedance factor of approx. If = 0.5

6.6. UCS 500 upgrade version
Upgraded UCS 500 have the same specifications as UCS 500 M4 exception the following items.
Warning lamp
The warning lamp connection is not potential free like the other UCS models. The power
supply is delivered by the internal 24V supply.
EM Test recommends to use a relays for control the external powered warning lamps.
Voltage : 24V dc
Max. load : 200mA
Synchonisation
The phase synchronisation is refered to the default channel.
ESD Option
Construction-conditioned the ESD option is not retrofitable.
Inrush current
The upgrade version has no inrush current function.

7. Maintenance and service
7.1. General
The generator is absolutely maintenance-free by using a solid state semiconductor switch to generate transients
7.2. Test set- up
When setting up the test national and international regulations
regarding human safety have to be guaranteed.
It is recommended to connect the simulator to the ground reference
plane of the test set-up.
The generators of the series 500, UCS, VCS, CSS, TSS and CNI, can
be linked together to a fully automotive test set-up.
The set-up communicates via the IEEE / GPIB bus and is controlled by
ISMIEC software. For setting up the system see the following figures:
Each generator can be operated individual as a single equipment.
7.3. Calibration and verification
The EM Test equipment are calibrated in the factory and marked with a
calibration-tag. The measuring instrument is traceable to the Swiss Federal
Office of Metrology.
The calibration date is marked. The validity of the calibration is in the area of
responsibility of the users quality system. Example: EM Test calibration-tag
Please refer to the corresponding standard before proceed a calibration or verification. The standard describes
the procedure, the tolerances and the necessary auxiliary means. There are suitable calibrations adapters to use.
All calibrations and verifications are always without mains supply voltage on the impulse- or coupling network
output.
Danger
Before starting the calibration or verification
remove the EUT Mains Supply
from the generator and from the coupling network
