The clamp can be part of a setup which works at dangerous voltages.
These operating instructions form an integral part of the equipment and must be available to the operating
personnel at all times. All the safety instructions and advice notes are to be observed. Neither Teseq GmbH
nor any of the subsidiary sales organizations or the manufacturer can accept any responsibility for personal,
material or consequential injury, loss or damage that results from improper use of the equipment and acces-
sories.
1. SAFETY ADVICE
1.1. General
■Use of the clamp is restricted to authorized and trained specialists
■In the fault case dangerously high voltage may be on the housing of the EUT.
■Safety against voltage flashover between cable under test and clamp is on the responsibility of the test
personnel. The use of sufficient isolation is strongly recommended.
■ Operate the equipment only in dry surroundings. Allow any condensation that occurs to evaporate before
putting the instrument into operation.
■Do not exceed the permissible ambient temperature, humidity or altitude.
■Only approved accessory items, connectors, adapters, etc. are to be used to ensure safe operation.
■ Do not place the product on surfaces that for reasons of weight or stability are unsuitable for this
purpose.
1.2. Installation
Never use the clamp if the isolation of cables is damaged or not used. Check the isolation on a regular basis
to ensure that it is in proper operating condition.
The clamp is not protected against any over load. Avoid any over load with adequate arrangements.
1.3. Applicable safety standards
Development and manufacture of the instrument complies with ISO 9001. The product conforms with the
requirements of the Low Voltage Directive (LVD) 2014/35/EU based on DIN EN 61010-1:2011.
WARNING: Improper or careless handling can be fatal!
Use of the clamp is restricted to authorized and trained specialists

2. UNPACKING, STORAGE AND TRANSPORT
2.1. General
Save all packing materials! They will be needed in order to safely package the equipment for calibration service
or repair
Packaging materials
■Carton: Cardboard
■Padding: CFC-free polystyrene foam

■Avoid the risk of condensation occurring! If a large temperature difference has been experienced, allow
time for the temperature to stabilize. This may take several hours.
2.2. Storage and transport
■Do not stack, either packed or unpacked.
■Do not up-end, arrows on the packaging must always point upwards.
■Protect from dampness, heat, cold and rain
■Do not throw
■Do not sit or stand on the instrument and packaging.
2.3. Unpacking
■Is the packaging damaged? If YES ☎transportation company
■Are all the packages present and correct? If NO ☎transportation company
■Open the packaging, remove the accessories.
■Grip the instrument at the sides and lift it from the packaging.
■Are the instrument or accessories damaged? If YES ☎transportation company
■Are the contents of the package complete? If NO ☎sales outlet
■Keep the instruction manual with the instrument.
■Keep the packaging.

3. APPLICATION AND STANDARD REQUIREMENTS
3.1. General
The KEMA 801A is recommended as an additional decoupling network (ferrite tube clamp) for immunity test
according to IEC / EN 61000-4-6 when using the clamp injection method. It shall be inserted on all the cables
between EUT and AE except the cable under test. The KEMA 801A prevents, that the test signal applied to the
EUT affects other devices, equipment or systems, which are not under test and improves the reproducibility
of the test results.
The clamp mechanism of the KEMA 801A makes possible a simple insertion in the test setup.
Other application: Prevention of unwanted RF- currents at cables during emission measurements.
3.2. Test set-up example
The following gure shows a test set-up example for testing in accordance with IEC 61000-4-6 (EN 61000-4-
6).

4. VERIFICATION OF THE INSERTION LOSS
The insertion loss is measured in a 50 Ω system with CAL KEMZ, 10 dB attenuators, network analyzer and
cables. In a rst step the measuring set-up is normalized with two connected impedance measurement adapt-
ers and 10 dB attenuators as shown in the gure below. The RF matching is improved by the 10 dB attenuators.
Figure 2: Normalization set-up
The insertion loss measurement is performed with the clamp clipped on a 4 mm tube which is connected to
impedance measurement adapters. The clamp is positioned in the centre between both impedance measuring
adapters. Place the 4 mm tube in the centre of the ferrite cores. The measuring set-up is shown in the gure
below.
