1This product is intended for use in nonresidential areas only. Use in residential areas may cause electromagnetic interference.
2Emissions which exceed the levels required by this standard may occur when this equipment is connected to a test object.
3To ensure compliance with the EMC standards listed here, high quality shielded interface cables should be used.
4Instrument rebooting may be experienced where the EUT takes longer than 10 seconds to recover from a transient immunity test.
5The increase in trace noise while subjected to the test field (3 V/m over the frequency range 80 MHz to 1 GHz, 1.4 GHz to 2.0 GHz, and
1 V/m from 2.0 GHz to 2.7 GHz, with 80% amplitude modulation at 1 kHz) is not to exceed 8 major division(s) peak-to-peak. Ambient
fields may induce triggering when trigger threshold is offset less than 4 major divisions from ground reference (IEC 61000-4-3).
6The increase in trace noise while subjected to the injected 3 V test signal is not to exceed 2 major divisions peak-to-peak. Ambient
fields may induce triggering when trigger threshold is offset less than 1 major division from ground reference (IEC 61000-4-6).
7Performance Criterion C applied at the 70%/25 cycle Voltage-Dip and the 0%/250 cycle Voltage-Interruption test levels

Safety Class
Class 1 – grounded product.
Pollution Degree Description
A measure of the contaminants that could occur in the environment around and within a product. Typically the internal environment
inside a product is considered to be the same as the external. Products should be used only in the environment for which they
are rated.
Pollution Degree 1. No pollution or only dry, nonconductive pollution occurs. Products in this category are generally
encapsulated, hermetically sealed, or located in clean rooms.
Pollution Degree 2. Normally only dry, nonconductive pollution occurs. Occasionally a temporary conductivity that is caused by
condensation must be expected. This location is a typical office/home environment. Temporary condensation occurs only
when the product is out of service.
Pollution Degree 3. Conductive pollution, or dry, nonconductive pollution that becomes conductive due to condensation. These
are sheltered locations where neither temperature nor humidity is controlled. The area is protected from direct sunshine,
rain, or direct wind.
Pollution Degree 4. Pollution that generates persistent conductivity through conductive dust, rain, or snow. Typical outdoor
locations.
Pollution Degree
Pollution Degree 2 (as defined in IEC 61010-1). Note: Rated for indoor use only.
