General information regarding the CE marking
HAMEG instruments fulfill the regulations of the EMC directive. The conformity test made
by HAMEG is based on the actual generic- and product standards. In cases where diffe-
rent limit values are applicable, HAMEG applies the severer standard. For emission the
limits for residential, commercial and light industry are applied. Regarding the immunity
(susceptibility) the limits for industrial environment have been used.
The measuring- and data lines of the instrument have much influence on emmission and
immunity and therefore on meeting the acceptance limits. For different applications the
lines and/or cables used may be different. For measurement operation the following hints
and conditions regarding emission and immunity should be observed:
1. Data cables
For the connection between instruments resp. their interfaces and external devices,
(computer, printer etc.) sufficiently screened cables must be used. Without a special
instruction in the manual for a reduced cable length, the maximum cable length of a dataline
must be less than 3 meters and not be used outside buildings. If an interface has several
connectors only one connector must have a connection to a cable.
Basically interconnections must have a double screening. For IEEE-bus purposes the double
screened cables HZ72S and HZ72L from HAMEG are suitable.
2. Signal cables
Basically test leads for signal interconnection between test point and instrument should
be as short as possible. Without instruction in the manual for a shorter length, signal lines
must be less than 3 meters and not be used outside buildings.
Signal lines must screened (coaxial cable - RG58/U). A proper ground connection is required.
In combination with signal generators double screened cables (RG223/U, RG214/U) must
be used.
3. Influence on measuring instruments.
Under the presence of strong high frequency electric or magnetic fields, even with careful
setup of the measuring equipment an influence of such signals is unavoidable.
This will not cause damage or put the instrument out of operation. Small deviations of the
measuring value (reading) exceeding the instruments specifications may result from such
conditions in individual cases.

HM5012 & HM5014, the Spectrum Analyzers
for EMC Measurements
Technical Characteristics
The new spectrum analyzer HM5012
and HM5014 is based in general on the
high frequency characteristics of the
HM5010 and the HM5011 analyzers. The
usable frequency range is therefore from
150 kHz to above 1 GHz. The available
resolution bandwidths are 9kHz, 120kHz
and 400 kHz. Completely new is primarily
the processor-controlled operation and a
digital signal display which works in real-
time, and is resolved with up to 4,000
points over the entire screen. The screen
will also display all selected frequency
settings and the marker results.
The unique features of this spectrum
analyzer are the extensive EMC measure-
ment capabilities. These include the am-
plitude indication in Peak and Average
modes. For the precise evaluation of the
signals a marker is provided that will give
a readout for amplitude and frequency on-
screen.
An additional advantage is that newly
acquired signals can be compared with
the content of the reference storage.
Complicated and repeatedly used equip-
ment adjustments can be saved by use of
the Save/Recall function.

HM 5014
The Model HM5014 includes a tracking generator that can be used to evaluate the
frequency characteristics of 4-terminal devices, such as filters.
The Interface
The Analyzers are supplied with an RS-232 interface for PC communication and
print-out. The optional HZ70 optoisolator with fiber-optics cable is available to isolate
the spectrum analyzer from interference effects and ground loops.
The Software
The software for extended functions and for the evaluation of measurement results
via PC is part of the spectrum analyzer and provides the following features:
Numeric indication of measurement values.
Average, peak and quasi peak values with
corresponding cursor.
Storage of reference spectra for comparison.
Freely definable limit lines.
Indication of above-limit signals.
Correction factors for antennas.
Script-control for automatic measurements.
Printout in tabular form (e. g. table calculations).
B/W or color printouts of the spectra with printer selection for all printers
supported by Windows ©.
On line “Help” function.
A manual for various EMC applications is provided.

HZ530 EMI Near Field Sniffer Probe Set (Optional accessories)
The HZ530 is the ideal toolkit for the
investigation of RF electromagnetic fields.
It is indispensible for EMI pre-compliance
testing during product development, prior
to third party testing. The set includes 3
hand-held probes with a built-in pre-
amplifier covering the frequency range from
10 kHz to 1000 MHz depending on probe
type. The set includes one magnetic field
probe, one electric field probe and one
high impedance probe. All have high
sensitivity and are matched to the 50Ω
inputs of spectrum analyzers. The power
can be supplied either from the batteries or
thrugh a power cord directly connected to
an HM5012/14 series spectrum analyzer.
Signal feed is via a 1.5m BNC-cable. When
used in conjunction with a spectrum analyzer
or a measuring receiver, the probes can be
used to locate and qualify EMI sources.
They are especially suited to locate
emission “hot spots” on PCBs and cables,
as well as evaluate EMC problems at the
breadboard and prototype level. They
enable the user to evaluate radiated fields
and perform shieldeffectivitycomparisons.
Mechanical screening performance and
immunity tests on cables and components
are easily performed. Faulty components
and poorbonding locationscan be isolated.
The magneticprobe incorporates a high
degree of rejection of both stray and direct
electric fields, and provides far greater

repeatability than with conventional field
probes. Measurements can be made on the
very near field area that is close to compo-
nents or radiation sources. The electric field
(mono-pole) probe has the highest
sensitivity of all three probes. It can be
used to check screening and perform pre-
compliance testing on a comparative basis.
The high impedance probe is used to
measure directly on the components
under test or at the conductive trace of a PC
board. It has an input capacitance of only
2pF and supplies virtually no electrical
charge to the device under test.
