NSG 5500

Automotive transient immunity tests

NSG 5500 system. This compact mainframe houses

the common system components and accommodates

the standard pulse generators. All testing is available

from one output connector. An electronic switch to

connect and disconnect the battery supply is in-

corporated in the NSG 5500. Additional inputs and

outputs are located on the rear panel for test

execution control purposes and the monitoring of

error signals, oscilloscope triggers, gate start/stop

commands, etc. Overall control is via a PC running

AutoStar

TM

under Windows.

NSG 5500 modules. The NSG 5500 offers unpreced-

ented flexibility for transient testing. Schaffner has

designed a solution with various transients in one

modular and upgradeable chassis. The basic ISO

7637 tests for pulse 1, 2a, 3, 5, 6 and 7 and variants

are integrated into the same chassis. Optional pulse

4 and pulse 2b control is available, however, use

with the NSG 5600 offers several benefits over this

budget solution. Additionally, when standards

change, as they do every year, the NSG 5500 system

may be upgraded with different modules so that

your new and old modules may both be retained,

either exchanged with new Gemini modules or

loaded into an optional expansion chassis. Based on

our exclusive Gemini technology, Schaffner offers

the most flexible and upgradeable system in the

world to protect the users’ investment in test equip-

ment.

All NSG 5500 generators are calibrated in accord-

ance with ISO 7637-2:2004 or manufacturer-specific

standards. Schaffner continues to maintain back-

wards compatibility and yet push the state of the art

for EMC immunity testing.

The compact and modular NSG 5500 solution offers the generators necessary for

tests with capacitive discharge pulsed interference as called for by ISO, SAE, DIN

and JASO, and others. The established test specifications for passenger cars

together with the new standards for commercial vehicles published by these

international and other bodies are fully covered, as are the most company-specific

standards from vehicle manufacturers.
