Atec mz30 User Manual
Part of Thermo Fisher Scientific
The Thermo Scientific MZ-30 ESD
Simulator is a reliable and easy to
use test system for performing both
air and contact mode testing to
electronic products.
Product Specifications
Maximum Test Voltage of +/- 30kV
The test voltage levels of the MZ-30 are
more than sufficient for compliance to
required IEC standard level 4 (15 kV) levels.
Essentially a design tool, it allows you to
identify the conditions where your product
begins to degrade or malfunction (limit
value), prior to production, and thus is also
ideal for testing to category- or companydriven quality standards.
New Panel Design for Ease of
Operation
The operation panel has keys and a rotary
knob, which allow you to directly set test
levels specified by the IEC standard. These
controls facilitate adjustment for standardcompliance tests and other various settings.
Easy-To-Replace Energy Storage
Capacitor and Discharge Resistor
In addition to the standard 150 pF capacitor
unit and 330 discharge resistor, a variety
of optional components are available
including a 330 pF capacitor unit and 2k
discharge resistor.
Faithful Reproduction of
IEC61000-4-2-Specified Waveforms
The MZ-30 also supports the seven
discharge current waveforms prescribed
for the waveform calibration method
laid down in a target compliant with
IEC61000-4-2 Editions 1. In addition, it
was designed to suppress waveform ringing
to improve waveform quality.
Thermo Scientific MZ-30
ESD Simulator
By simply replacing the CR unit (discharge
resistance/charge capacitor) and the discharge
tips, the MZ-30 is also easily adapted for
compliance to the ISO 10605 standard, which
specifies test methods for electrical
disturbances from ESD with relation to
automotive electronics.
