SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS
This unit has been designed, produced 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 units, 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.

1-2 General Information
1.3 Introduction
to PMM FR4003
PMM FR4003 is not only a simple Rod Antenna but incorporates also a
powerful EMI receiver, fully CISPR 16-1-1, to measure conducted and
radiated interferences from 9 kHz up to 30 MHz, and can increase its
performances when matched with PMM 9010F units (optional). All
measurements performed by the PMM FR4003 are according to the most
accepted standards like: IEC, CISPR, EN (EuroNorm), FCC, VDE, MIL-
STD, RTCA/DO etc.
Thanks to its built-in tracking generator, PMM FR4003 is also able to
perform a self-calibration procedure and to check its good operation at any
time.
It is, at the same time, a traditional active Rod Antenna, with a RF analog
output, and a versatile EMI receiver, already internally matched to the
antenna itself.
The PMM FR4003 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, of course, the output stage of the internal
reference tracking generator - 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.

1.9 Functional
Description
The PMM FR4003 features a completely new receiver architecture based
on the most recent DSP and RSP technology, as shown on the diagram
below.
The PMM FR4003 diagram is shown in Fig. 1-4

1.10 Ultra fast
measurement: a
unique feature of
the PMM 9010F
In the CISPR band A (9 ÷ 150 kHz), the standards requires the use of a
200 Hz filter that is, by nature, a filter that implies a long measurement
time: a complete scan may require even more than 10 minutes, depending
on the detector in use.
Also the B band takes a long time since it involves many frequency steps.
Thanks to its architecture and to the large internal memory capability, the
combination of PMM FR4003 and 9010F can take a “snapshot” of the
whole band in just one second and, using a true built-in FFT capability,
perfectly show the complete band in all its details. Later on will be then
possible to make the QuasiPeak evaluation of all the frequencies of
interest after the measurements will been taken.
This feature is not only useful to greatly increase the productivity of the test
lab, but also to make better and more comprehensive analysis in case the
disturbance to be evaluated is somehow intermittent and with an irregular
repetition rate; its analysis with a traditional receiver could be hardly made
in a proper way (even if an FFT capability is available: this feature needs a
very comprehensive design), as irregular pulses could be lost during a
usual sweep.
To be noted that during the FFT analysis the PMM FR4003 and 9010F
make use of internal standard Gaussian filters, compliant to the standards,
while in other cases it uses filters mathematically modelled to the
perfection using a FIR technique.

1.11 Emission
measurements
All electric and electronic devices are potential generators of Electro-
Magnetic Interference (EMI).
The term EMI thus refers to the electromagnetic energy emitted by a
device which propagates itself along cables or through the air and couples
with other devices that are present in the surroundings.
These electromagnetic fields (conducted or radiated interferences) may
generate interfering currents and voltages into nearby equipment and
therefore can cause possible malfunctions.
In order to prevent and control such interferences there are nowadays a
number of national and international standards, like IEC and CISPR, which
specifies limits and methods of tests. Moreover, within the European Union
the application of several European Norms on Electromagnetic
Compatibility is enforced by law and therefore the commercialization and
use of all the electric and electronic equipment is subject to the
measurement of the EMC characteristics, which must be within well
defined limits.
The design approach adopted for the PMM FR4003 is that the instrument
shall be innovative, full compliant with all the relevant standards and at the
same time simple and reliable to use, to be the base building block for any
possible emission system to measure and evaluate any electric or
electronic device from the very first design stages to the final certification.
The need to precisely measure the conducted and radiated EMI noises
forces the equipment manufactures to use reliable equipment to verify the
limits imposed by the relevant standards and/or enforced by local rules.
In this view the PMM FR4003 Field Receiver is the ideal solution from
prototype debugging to final certification, as it fully meets all the
performance criteria dictated by these standards, although it remains
small, lightweight and very easy to use.
The PMM FR4003 Utility control software permits an immediate use of the
instrument without any training or special difficulties: the operator can
concentrate just on analyzing the measurement results.
Moreover, the PMM FR4003 software has also been designed for a fast
and easy installation on any PC with the Windows™operating system and
with at least one free USB (or Serial Port).
The device under test (DUT) must be installed according to the procedures
indicated in the constructor’s manual and normal operating conditions
respected.
Be sure not to overload PMM FR4003: the input signal should not
exceed the maximum level indicated in the main specifications in
chapter 1.
Also do not apply any signal to the rear RF output connector.
