SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS
This product has been designed, produced and tested in Italy, and it left the factory in conditions fully
complying with the current safety standards. To maintain it in safe conditions and ensure correct use,
these general instructions must be fully understood and applied before the product is used.
• Over current protection is not provided in the LISN. The LISN must be connected to a power mains
which has the properly rated mains protection installed.
• When the device must be connected permanently, first provide effective grounding;
• If the device must be connected to other equipment or accessories, make sure they are all safely
grounded;
• In case of devices permanently connected to the power supply, and lacking any fuses or other
devices of mains protection, the power line must be equipped with adequate protection
commensurate to the consumption of all the devices connected to it;
• In case of connection of the device to the power mains, make sure before connection that the voltage
selected on the voltage switch and the fuses are adequate for the voltage of the actual mains;
• Devices in Safety Class I, equipped with connection to the power mains by means of cord and plug,
can only be plugged into a socket equipped with a ground wire;
• Any interruption or loosening of the ground wire or of a connecting power cable, inside or outside the
device, will cause a potential risk for the safety of the personnel;
• Ground connections must not be interrupted intentionally;
• To prevent the possible danger of electrocution, do not remove any covers, panels or guards installed
on the device, and refer only to NARDA Service Centers if maintenance should be necessary;
• To maintain adequate protection from fire hazards, replace fuses only with others of the same type
and rating;
• Follow the safety regulations and any additional instructions in this manual to prevent accidents and
damages.
• The probe cannot be handled in proximity of high voltage mains line.
• If the probe is to be connected to high voltage mains line a safety interlock equipment must be
installed to ensure the mains line be switched off before any probe handling or connection
• The user must provide a safety protection cover with a low voltage interlock switch able to cut off
mains voltage before probe handling or connection.

1.1 Documentation
1.2 Introduction to PMM
Artificial Mains
Networks
Enclosed with this manual are a service questionnaire to send back to
NARDA in case of equipment service is needed, and an accessories check
list to verify all accessories enclosed in the packaging.
The objective of EMI Conducted tests is to define the amplitude of current Ic
and Voltage Vcemission from the Device Under Test (DUT) onto the power
mains or to define the immunity of the DUT to the conducted interference.
The mains lines themselves do not allow for reliable EMI measurements
since their impedance is subject to marked variations that generates
different test results at different test sites.
The PMM Artificial Mains Networks are LISN used for RFI measurements
on AC three-phase, power supplied electric and electronic equipment
usable from DC to 60 Hz.
The LISNs are three line V-network with an equivalent circuit of 50 ohm //
(5ohm + 50µH), fully compliant with CISPR publ. 16, VDE 0876 and FCC
part 15 regulation.
The LISNs are suited to perform measurements on conducted interference
in the frequency range from 9 kHz to 30 MHz.
Designed according to criteria of cheaply and compactness they can be
used together with PMM Systems for Conducted Interference or any other
RF receiver.
The main functions performed by the Artificial Mains Network are:
• terminate the DUT with a standardized impedance against reference
ground;
• supply power to the DUT;
• insulate the test circuits against external interference coming, for
example, from AC-voltage network;
• route the EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference) of the DUT to the receiver,
in case of conducted emission measurement, and the EMI from the
signal generator to the DUT, in case of susceptibility test (current
injection).
The PMM LISNs are provided with a standard industrial power sockets, with
a pilot conductor connector provided.
According to EN 60309 (IEC 309) Normative the pilot conductor can be
used to operate a remote control switch, to avoid any mains connector
operation with high current load.

1-2 General Information
1-3 PMM Artificial Mains
Networks for
“CURRENT
INJECTION” test
As described above, a LISN is primarily a probe to take out RF signals.
Some particular EMC recommendations might require that Device Under
Test shall be proven to conducted EMC immunity in the range 10 kHz – 30
MHz, by injecting on the supply lines certain RF interference and checking
the DUT’s response.
PMM LISNs may be used also to this purpose by injecting a RF signal into
the RF output connector on the front panel.
The following figure shows the CISPR equivalent circuit.

To minimize the repair time, be as specific as possible when describing the
failure. If the failure only occurs under certain conditions, explain how to
duplicate the failure.
If possible, reuse of the original packaging to ship the equipment is
preferable.
In case other package should be used ensure to wrap the instrument in
heavy paper or plastic.
Use a strong shipping container and use enough shock absorbing material
around all sides of the equipment to provide a firm cushion and prevent
movement in the container.
Seal the shipping container securely with shipment tape.
Mark the shipping container FRAGILE to encourage careful handling.
1-7 Equipment cleaning
Use a clean, dry non abrasive cloth for external cleaning of the equipment.
To clean the equipment do not use any solvent, thinner, turpentine,
acid, acetone or similar matter to avoid damage to external plastic
and surfaces.
