UCS 500N5 - COMPACT TESTER FOR EFT/BURST, SURGE AND POWER FAIL

The UCS 500N5 ultra-compact simulator is the most versatile tester to cover transient and power fail requirements according
to international standards (basic and generic standards) and product/product family standards. The UCS 500N5 is the most
economic solution for tests during development as well as for full-compliant immunity tests and CE Marking for single phase
DUT with the ability to be extended for testing three-phase DUTs by means of an automatically controlled external coupling
network up to 100A.
EM TEST supplies a large range of accessories for the various applications such as magnetic field tests.

TECHNICAL DETAILS

BENEFITS

ALL IN ONE - ALL WHAT YOU NEED FOR YOUR TESTS

The UCS 500N5 includes everything necessary to conduct
fully compliant tests. The power mains supply for the
controls and for the DUT is separate to render it more
flexible to use with different DUT supply voltages.
The UCS 500N5 can be operated manually from the front
panel or by remote via the built-in USB or GPIB interface.
Fail inputs allow to control an ongoing test sequence
based on the status of the DUT. Monitoring outputs (BNC)
are offered for easy signal measurement and verification.
Safety features such as interlock and warning lamp
control are available.
Pre-programmed Standard Test routines allow highest
user convenience. Still the UCS 500N5 offers the Quick
Start test routine where parameters can be changed
on-line during the test to evaluate the susceptibility level
of an individual DUT.

OPERATION

EASY TO OPERATE

Front panel menu and function keys enable the user to
program his test routines quickly and accurately. The
cursor allows fast control of all test parameters of the
programmed routine, thus test procedures are simplified
and confidence is generated that every step is carried out
correctly.

SOFTWARE

IEC.CONTROL SOFTWARE FOR CONTROL AND
DOCUMENTATION

Outstanding user convenience, clearly structured
windows and operation features and the EM TEST
standards library along with the flexibility to generate
user specific test sequences very easily are the main
features of iec.control software. The software is
automatically configured according to the connected EM
TEST generators. Extensive reporting capabilities help the
user to create test reports that meet international
requirements.
iec.control is supported by Windows 2000, Windows XP,
Windows Vista and Windows 7. Remote control is
achieved either via USB or GPIB. iec.control supports a
wide range of GPIB cards of National Instruments.

OTHER MODELS

TECHNICAL DETAILS

AUXILIARY DEVICES

CNI 503 - 3PHASE COUPLING/DECOUPLING NETWORKS
FOR BURST AND SURGE

EM TEST offers a range of fully automatic 3-phase
coupling/decoupling networks for burst and surge to
extend the test capability for three-phase DUTs. The
networks have a rated current of up to 100A.

MV 2616 - MOTORISED VARIAC FOR VOLTAGE VARIATION

A motorised variac is offered as an alternative to the
tapped autotransformers for voltage dips/interruptions
and voltage variation tests as per IEC 61000-4-11. The
motorised variac can also be used for automated
magnetic field tests.

V 4780 - TAPPED VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER FOR VOLTAGE
DIPS AND INTERRUPTIONS

The V 4780 tapped autotransformer is designed to supply
the required voltages as per IEC 61000-4-11 Ed.2:2004 to
perform voltage dips and interruptions.

V 4780S2 - TAPPED VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER FOR
VOLTAGE DIPS AND INTERRUPTIONS

The V 4780S2 tapped autotransformer is designed to
supply the required voltages as per IEC 61000-4-11
Ed.2:2004 to perform voltage dips and interruptions.
Compared to the manually operated V 4780 the V 4780S2
model offers automatic change of taps according to the
selected voltage level.

CNV 504N/508N - SURGE COUPLING/DECOUPLING
NETWORKS FOR SIGNAL/DATA LINES

CNV 504N/508N coupling/decoupling networks are
available to perform surge tests on I/O lines, signal/data
lines and telecom lines as per IEC 61000-4-5.

ACCESSORIES

MS 100N - MAGNETIC FIELD COIL FOR POWER-FREQUENCY
AND PULSED MAGNETIC FIELDS

The MS 100N is a 1sqm magnetic field coil as specified in
IEC/EN 61000-4-8 and IEC/EN 61000-4-9. Its design
allows easy moving of the coil. The field coil is adjustable
in height and allows for 360degr rotation.
To generate power-frequency magnetic fields in the lower
range the current transformer MC 2630 is used while
high-field strength above 100A/m requires the MC 26100
current transformer.

HFK - CAPACITIVE COUPLING CLAMP

The HFK is a fully compliant capacitive coupling clamp as
per specification of IEC 61000-4-4.

ITP - IMMUNITY TEST PROBES

ITP is a tool being used for development test. It consists
of a variety of electrical field probes. The probes allow to
locate weak points within a system or on a PCB. The burst
pulse is used to generate the disturbance signal.

CA EFT KIT - VERIFICATION KIT FOR EFT/BURST PULSES

As per IEC 61000-4-4 Ed.2 the characteristic of the burst
generator needs to be verified with two different loads,
50ohm and 1,000ohm. EM TEST offers a calibration kit
consisting of the two loads and an adapter to verify the
pulses at the DUT output.

CA HFK KIT - VERIFICATION KIT FOR CAPACITIVE
COUPLING CLAMP

The IEC 61000-4-4 Ed 3.0 published 2012 recomends the
calibration of the capacitive coupling clamp into a 50ohm
coaxial load.
The capacitive coupling clamp (HFK) is connected to the
50 ohm output of the EFT generator. A flexible insulated
plate inside the HFK is connected to a coaxial 50 ohm
load resistor for verificate the EFT / Burst wave of the
capacitive coupling clamp.
