Safety Consideration VII
SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS
This unit has been designed and tested in Italy, according to IEC 348 standard and has left the
manufacturer’s premises in a state fully complying with the safety standards ; in order to maintain the
unit in a safe state and to ensure safe operation, the following instructions must be reviewed and fully
understood before operation.
•When the unit is to be permanently cabled, first connect an uninterruptible protective earth ground
conductor before making any other connections.
•If the unit is to be connected to other equipment or accessories, prior to energizing either unit verify
that a common ground exists between them.
•For permanently cabled unit without built-in fuses, automatic circuit breakers or similar protective
facilities, the power supply line shall be provided with fuses or protections rated to the unit.
•Verify that the unit is set to match the available mains voltage and correct fuse rating is installed
before applying power.
•The Safety Class I units provided with disconnectible AC supply cable and plug may only be operated
from a power socket with protective earth ground connection.
•Any interruption or loosening of the protective earth ground conductor, either inside or outside the unit
or in an extension cable will cause a potential shock hazard that could result in personal injury.
•The protective earth ground conductor shall not be interrupted intentionally.
•To avoid electrical shock do not remove protections or covers of the unit , refer to qualified NARDA
Servicing Center for maintenance of the unit.
•To maintain adequate protection against fire hazard, replace fuses only with others of the same type
and rating;
•Observe safety regulations and rules and also the additional safety instructions specified in this
manual for prevention of accidents.

Manual Changes
Instruments manufactured after the printing of this manual may have a
serial number prefix not listed on the title page; this indicates that
instruments with different Serial Number prefix may be different from those
documented in this manual.
1.3 Introduction
to PMM ER9000
PMM ER9000 is a powerful EMI receiver, fully CISPR 16-1-1
compliant , to
measure conducted and radiated interferences from 10 Hz up to 30 MHz
(opt. 00), or even up to 3 GHz (opt. 01). All measurements performed by
the PMM ER9000 are according to the most accepted standards like: IEC,
CISPR, EN (EuroNorm), FCC, VDE,..
Thanks to its built-in signal generator, PMM ER9000 is also suitable for
characterizing and testing EUTs or other receivers.
The PMM ER9000 has been designed adopting an innovative philosophy
made possible only in the recent years by the availability of superior
technology components. This equipment is fully digital but the input
preselector and attenuator, and therefore combines into a pure EMI
Receiver and Signal Analyzer the precision and accuracy of a numeric
approach, with flexibility and user friendly approach typical of a modern
instrument.
