UCS500Nx - designed as a modular system - is the most
intelligent solution offering exactly what you need for full-
compliant immunity tests against transient and power fail
phenomena. The distinct operation features, convenient DUT
connection facilities, a clearly arranged menu structure and
display philosophy as well as the pre-programmed standard test
routines make testing easy, reliable and safe. Extendable by a
variety of test accessories the UCS 500Nx is a universal
equipment for abroad range of recommendations even for three-
phase applications up to 100A

Safety information
Attention
Before using this equipment, read the operating manual and the
separate delivered safety manual carefully
2.1.
Protected Earth PE
The protective conductor connection is established via the attached power cord and must not be interrupted
under any circumstances.
DANGER
Check before connecting the power supply to the unit that the grounding of the building supply is
installed according to regulations.
In the absence of an earth connection can the frame can be get in the event of a fault, to the mains
voltage potential.
The generator must be properly grounded before connecting on-the EUT supply voltage to the
generator.
2.2.
FI Fault current protection
The standards recommend decoupling and filter capacitors to PE for decoupling surge pulses. This is the reason
for tripping fault current protection relays interrupt the mains to the EUT supply. For eliminate the circumstance
use one of the following options:
Remove the fault current protection
This solution does not limit the current to PE. The surge test as other EMC tests with higher currents to PE are
possible. The user must take care to the circuit with no fault current protection. Only trained professional people
are allowed to perform such tests.
Using of insulating transformers
An insulating transformer separates the circuit from the test circuit. The Fault current detector cannot detect the
earth current in the EUT circuit. The synchronization works between line and PE and therefore a connection
between neutral and PE is necessary. Without this N-PE connection the stray capacitance defines the phase
sync.
The fault current safety detection function in the generator circuit is disabled. The user must respect
this circumstance. For a safe operation he must follow the electrical rulers.
Behind the insulating transformer the neutral and PE must be connected for a proper phase synchronization of
the generator. In case of a 3-phase system the user must perform similar.

Parameters and functions, displayed in the lowest line, can be selected with the related function key.
3 Test On
By pressing the key "Test On" follows the functions:
- Activate the high voltage power unit; HV is ready to start.
- Switches ON the supplyto the EUT test supply (only with built in PFS module).
- The LED indicates the trigger of a burst event.
4 Knob (Inc. / Dec
The knob increments or decrements test parameters with a numeric value or selects from a list of parameters.
5 Cursor keys
Parameters and functions can be changed on-line. The selection of these parameters is realized with the cursor
moving to the left or to the right.
6 Exit
Pressing of the Exit function will cause a reset of the firmware. This is only possible if no test routine is running.
7 ESC
When pressing the ESC button the user moves back one page in the menu.
8 CRO U (surge)
At the BNC output the voltage pulse (surge) of the generator can be measured galvanic separated.
- Impedance measuring instrument: >1MΩ.
- Max. output voltage: 10V 10% at 5 kV / 7kV impulse voltage.
9 CRO I (surge)
At the BNC output the current pulse (surge) of the generator can be measured galvanic separated.
- Impedance measuring instrument: >1MΩ.
- Max. output voltage: 10V 10% at 2.5 kA / 3.5kA output current.
10 BNC - CRO Trigger
At the BNC output the generator trigger can be checked, e.g. the burst duration, the burst repetition rate and the
spike frequency (+5 V rectangular). This output can be generally used as oscilloscope trigger output and is
synchronous to the following events.
- Burst and surge release
- Voltage dip or interruption, start of the event

1 Test 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.
2 Test supply PF2
This input is generallyused for the reduced dip voltage for testing as per IEC 61000-4-11. At this PF2 input a
variac transformer is connected with a reduced voltage, e.g., 0-250V. A motor driven variac transformer 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.
3 Test supply neutral (PF1/PF2)
The neutral line of the power supplyfor the EUT is connected to the banana connector N.
4 Test supply PE (PF1/PF2)
The protective earth line of the power supply for the EUT is connected to the banana connector PE.
5 SYNC 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. Umax. Sync = Umax. EUT

the connection PF2.
The phase synchronization SYNC must be
connected to PF1. By missing this connection all
tests runs in asynchronous mode with no phase
angle adjust for pulse release.

6 Reference 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
7 HV output
The coax plug is the HV HIGH output of the simulator. It is used for external coupling/decoupling networks.
8 COM output
The Com output is the HV LOW output of the simulator. The output is floating
Attention
The direct output of the surge generator is located at the rear panel of the instrument, HV and
COM. It is not allowed to connect these outputs to anyother coupling/decoupling network than
manufactured byEM TEST, e.g. the types CNV and CNI. Before to connect any external
networks to this output the operator must contact the manufacturer. Any damages due to this
matter are not covered by warranty.
The direct pulse output shall also not be used to connect the generator directly to any power
conducting lines
The wave shape measured at the direct pulse output must not be within the tolerances specified in
IEC 61000-4-5. The pulse shape shall be verified at the CDN output directly, no matter whether it
is an internal or external CDN.
9 Ventilation
After long term duration tests the generator should keep on running for some minutes to cool down the system.
10 Warning lamp
A voltage free contact is available for external warning indications (warning lamp). The signal is generated after
pressing TEST ON.

F6 Set voltage low/high Firmware V 6.01ax (UCS 500N5) V9.04ax (N7x)
This Firmware version offers two separate voltage settings for user that needs to test equipment for 115 V and
230V mains supply. Thanks to the two settings, the user can keep the Motorvariac in the 230V position
Using a MV 2616 with voltage selector switch:
- Set the voltage selector to the 230V position for low and high mains voltage supply.
- Use the Firmware with low and high settings and use the MV 2616 for any supply in the 230 V position.
The operator can specify the following parameters:
F1: Setup Main Voltage to low 115 V. Motorvariac parameter settings for lower main voltage. (115 V)
F2: Setup Main Voltage to high 230 V Motorvariac parameters for higher main voltage. (230 V)
F3: Motorvariac high (low) Selection and indicate of the active “Main Voltage” setting. The
selected setting is used in the power Fail tests for motorvariac
control
The procedure for low and high parameters voltage setting is the same as described in F6 Set Voltage below.
F6 Set voltage
For control of an external power supply source an analogue control voltage can be programmed (0-10V dc).
The operator can specify the following parameters:
F1: Max. variac voltage V [ V ] Maximal output voltage at 100% position of the external motor variac or dc
controlled voltage source. The analogue reference value for the max. voltage is 10 V.
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.
