1.3 Introduction
to PMM 7010
PMM 7010 is a EMI receiver, a precompliance system to measure
conducted and radiated interferences from: 150 kHz up to 1000 MHz
(Option 7010/00), 9 kHz up to 1000 MHz (Option 7010/01), 9 kHz up to 30
MHz (Option 7010/02) and 9 kHz up to 3000 MHz (Option 7010/03).
All measurements performed by the PMM 7010 are according to the most
accepted standards like: IEC, CISPR, EN (EuroNorm), FCC, VDE,..
Thanks to its built-in Line Impedance Stabilization Network (LISN), PMM
7010 is able to autonomously measure and characterize DUTs for the
conducted emissions.
The PMM 7010 has been designed adopting an innovative philosophy
made possible only in the recent years by the availability of superior
technology components. This equipment is fully digital but the input first RF
conversions and therefore combines into a pure EMI Receiver and Signal
Analyzer the precision and accuracy of a numeric approach, with flexibility
and user friendly approach typical of a modern instrument.

1.10 Functional
Description
The PMM 7010 features a completely new receiver architecture based on
the most recent DSP and FPGA technology.
1.11 Fast and precise
measurement
This measurement system has been designed for use on any PC with the
Windows™ operating system.
The PMM 7010 pre-compliance measurement system allows the designer
to measure the conducted and radiated interferences of a prototype under
test as part of the daily routine.
In the CISPR bands A (9 kHz ÷ 150 kHz), B (150 kHz ÷ 30 MHz), C (30 ÷
300 MHz) and D (300 ÷ 1000 MHz) the standards requires the use of
specially shaped 200 Hz, 9 kHz, and 120 kHz filters.
Thanks to its architecture and to the large internal computation capability,
the PMM 7010 can perform the entire band test in a short time.
This feature is not only useful to greatly increase the productivity of the test
lab, but also to make better and more comprehensive analysis in case the
disturbance to be evaluated is somehow intermittent and with an irregular
repetition rate.
PMM 7010 makes use of internal numerically modelled filters in
compliance with the norms, using FFT and FIR techniques.
1-8 General Information
1.12 Emission
measurements
All electric and electronic devices are potential generators of ElectroMagnetic Interference (EMI).
The term EMI thus refers to the electromagnetic energy emitted by a
device which propagates itself along cables or through the air and couples
with other devices that are present in the surroundings.
These electromagnetic fields (conducted or radiated interferences) may
generate interfering currents and voltages into nearby equipment and
therefore can cause possible malfunctions.
In order to prevent and control such interferences there are nowadays a
number of national and international standards, like IEC and CISPR, which
specifies limits and methods of tests. Moreover, within the European Union
the application of several European Norms on Electromagnetic
Compatibility is enforced by law and therefore the commercialization and
use of all the electric and electronic equipment is subject to the
measurement of the EMC characteristics, which must be within well
defined limits.
The design approach adopted for the PMM 7010 is that the instrument
shall be innovative, full compliant with all the relevant standards and at the
same time simple and reliable to use, to be the base building block for any
possible emission system to measure and evaluate any electric or
electronic device from the very first design stages to the final certification.
The need to precisely measure the conducted and radiated EMI noises
forces the equipment manufactures to use reliable equipment to verify the
limits imposed by the relevant standards and/or enforced by local rules.
In this view the PMM 7010 receiver is the ideal solution from prototype
debugging to final certification, as it fully meets all the performance criteria
dictated by these standards, although it remains small, lightweight and very
easy to use.
The PMM 7010 Utility control software permits an immediate use of the
instrument without any training or special difficulties: the operator can
concentrate just on analyzing the measurement results.
Moreover, the PMM 7010 software has also been designed for a fast and
easy installation on any PC with the Windows™ operating system and with
at least one free USB or Serial Port.
The device under test (DUT) must be installed according to the procedures
indicated in the constructor’s manual and normal operating conditions
respected.
Be sure not to overload PMM 7010: the input signal should not
exceed the maximum level indicated in the main specifications in
chapter 1.
Also do not apply any signal to RF generator output connector.

< 95% relative
15.000 meters
2.7 Return for Service
If the instrument should be returned to NARDA for service, please complete
the service questionnaire enclosed with the Operating Manual and attach it
to the instrument.
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, reusing 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 box and use enough shock absorbing material all
around the equipment to provide a firm cushion and prevent movement in
the shipping box; in particular protect the front panel.
Seal the shipping box securely.
Mark the shipping box FRAGILE to encourage careful handling.
2.8 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 or
display surfaces.
2.9 Equipment
ventilation
To allow correct equipment ventilation ensure that the vent grids on
the rear panel and on the bottom of the receiver are free by any
obstructing object.
In order to avoid the unwanted tripping of the protection devices, an
insulation transformer shall always be used between the mains supply
and the built-in LISN.

2.10 Hardware
Installation
PMM 7010 is delivered from factory ready to use. Remove the receiver from
its cardboard shipping box, connect properly the universal power supply and
switch ON the Power button.
In this way the LINE Led lights up to indicate the receiver is correctly
powered.
To avoid unwanted starts and stops, the Power button is placed in an
adequate recess.
After having been switched ON, the PMM 7010 boots with its internal BIOS
and runs the firmware which manages the receiver.
At the beginning the instrument performs a diagnostic test to check if
everything is working properly.
The boot sequence is very fast and the receiver is ready to use in a few
seconds after having switched the ON button.
When the initial sequence is completed the receiver is ready to be controlled
by the PC, running the PMM Emission Suite software.
The main screen shows the last sweep.
Connect the output of any LISN, or antenna, or absorbing clamp or any other
transducers to the RF input, ore use the internal LISN for conducted
emissions test.
When using a PMM LISN, it is possible to control from the receiver the lines
of the LISN and automatically switch between them connecting a special
cable between the User Port of the receiver and the LISN remote control
input.
Press the button to the “0” position to switch the apparatus OFF.

2.11 Using an Artificial
Mains Network
(AMN or LISN)
When the PMM 7010 receiver is connected to a LISN to perform conducted
interference measurements of the EUT, the RF output of the LISN shall be
connected to the RF input of the receiver. In order to switch automatically
between the lines of the LISN, it shall be connected to the User Port of the
receiver thanks to the dedicated cable supplied with the LISN .
If the built-in LISN is to be used, all the connections and commutations are
already done internally and automatically.
Using PMM Emission Suite software it is possible to carry out an automatic
measurement on all mains lines and get the worst case.
In order to avoid the unwanted tripping of the protection devices, an
insulation transformer shall always be used between the mains supply
and a LISN.
2.12 Using the Pulse
Limiter
The built in pulse limiter is a useful device to protect the input of the receiver
from transient over voltages. Sometime the conducted disturbances entering
the receiver through the LISN are too high - even if they cannot be seen on
the PMM 7010 because they are out of measurement bandwidth - and the
associate energy is high enough to damage the input circuit.
The pulse limiter has been integrated in the system as a protection of the
input from unexpected pulses.
When using an external Artificial Mains Network, to reduce the
probability of damages caused by transient voltage pulses always
disconnect the PMM 7010 RF input before switching Equipment Under
Test supply ON or OFF.
2.13 Using Current and
Voltage Probes
When a LISN cannot be used – e.g. when measurements have to be made
on terminals other than the mains ones, such as load or command terminals,
sensitive to inserted capacities for example, or when LISNs of adequate
current capabilities aren’t available, or when the line voltage is too high – a
current or voltage probe can be used.
The characteristics of these probes, and some advises on their uses, are
given in §5 of CISPR 16-1-2.
The CISPR voltage probe contains a resistor with a minimum resistance of
1500 ohm, in series with a capacitor of negligible reactance vs. the resistance
(in the 150 kHz to 30 MHz range), and it is insulated at least up to 1500V.
All these probes have an insertion loss and a frequency response that can be
stored in the PMM Emission Suite, so that the actual readings of the receiver
can be automatically corrected by these characteristics values.
2.14 Using Antennas
and other
Transducers
In the frequency range from 9 kHz to 1000 MHz any other transducer can be
used to pick-up and measure RF conducted and radiated emissions, like
active and passive loop antennas, rod, dipole, biconical and log periodic
antennas, near field probes etc.
The characteristics of these transducers are usually specified in the relevant
standards (e.g. Military or Automotive Standards).
Their use with PMM 7010 is very easy, as it’s enough to enter their response
with the frequency into the memory of the PMM Emission Suite to have the
readings automatically corrected. When the cable is not calibrated together
with the transducer, even the cable loss can be entered.
Up to four factors can be used together at the same time.

2.15 The User Port
The PMM 7010 features on the rear panel a programmable User Port that
can be used to drive external devices or, more generally, to output signals
and data.
The User Port can easily be programmed and managed; the connector has
the following hardware connection:
PIN # Signal
1 nc
2 nc
3 + 12 VDC (max 50 mA)
4 OUT 0
5 OUT 2
6 nc
7 nc
8 and 9 nc
10 IN 0
11 GND
12 OUT 1
13 nc
14 nc
15 nc
Data output (OUT 0 to OUT 2) and input (IN 0) are opto-coupled TTL level
with max. 1 mA draining.
Every other detail about User Port functionality is described in a separate
and more specific manual, available upon request.
