9. Operating Precautions
To ensure safety, the following advices shall be observed.
1. Install the test table on a flat floor surface. After installation, check to see that the 4
legs are in touch with the floor. If the floor is tilted or bumpy, the table may jounce,
which may lead to a drop of the object put on the table.
2. The top board of the test table must be fixed to the legs with the blocks. However,
when relocating the product, check that the top board has been firmly fixed. If the top
board has not been firmly fixed, it may come off from the legs, resulting in a danger.
3. The test table is capable of withstanding up to 100 kg. Never exceed this load limit.
Avoid concentrating loads to the edges of the table.
Never apply strong shock or power in the horizontal direction. If you step or sit on the
test table, you may suffer an injury.
4. For the test table, periodic checks are recommended for the wedges and retaining
blocks that there is no irregularity.
5. To ensure the safe and correct procedure of EMC tests, the contents of this manual
should be thoroughly understood and used as a ready reference for operation. It is
also recommended to read this instruction manual together with the instruction
manuals for the associated products.

．Example of test configuration
．．
1. Put the test table on the ground plane.
***Notice: The EN / IEC 61000-4-2 standard does not prescribe where the ground plane should be
laid out in a test room, but prescribes the position of EUT which is put on the test table as it should
be at least 0.8m away from the wall of the test room and any metallic structure. As the length of the
long side of the ground plane is 1.8m, if the ground plane is laid out along the edge of the test room,
the distance between EUT and the wall is sometimes less than 0.8m. Take this matter into
consideration when the ground plane is laid out.
※
※As for the distance from the wall, EN/IEC61000-4-2 (Edition 2.0) standard prescribes it should be “more then 0.8m”
※※
with having revised “more than 1m” on the previous version of the standard.
2. Ground the ground plane to the protective earth terminal of the test room with an appropriate cable.
Use M4 hole or M3 screw hole for connecting the protective earth cable.
If your test room has no protective earth terminal, set up new one with asking a qualified
contractor. Never use an internal plumbing such as gas pipe, a water pipe, or so on, to
substitute PE terminal, since it may cause fire or explosion or it may not be grounded actually.
3. Put the assembled test table on the ground plane and put the horizontal coupling plane on the table.
Peel off protective film of the horizontal coupling plane completely.
(The horizontal coupling plane is usually installed on the top board of the table when it is shipped out.)
20
4. Connect a discharge cable to the horizontal coupling plane and ground plane with a screw M4 with
a washer.
5. Put the insulation sheet (after peeling off protective film) in the center of the horizontal coupling
plane. Put the EUT on the sheet. The position of EUT should be on the insulation sheet and 0.1m
away from the edge of the horizontal coupling plane.
***Notice: In the Fig1. EUT is put on the position more than 0.1m away from the edge just to make
the figure more understandable.
6. In case of conducting the indirect discharge test, put the vertical coupling plane on the insulation
sheet on the position 0.1m away from EUT. Connect the vertical coupling plane to the ground plane
with a discharge cable with using a screw M4 with a washer.
The center adopter can be used as a positional guide for the indirect discharge test with installing it
onto the tip of the conical tip and inserting the vertical coupling plane into the ditch of it.
7. Use the isolation transformer (NoiseKen NCT series Noise Canceller Transformer recommended)
for AC line of EUT if necessary.
☆In the EN/IEC 61000-4-2 standard, inserting the isolation transformer is not allowed, but in the JIS C
61000-4-2, the case that isolation transformer is necessary with taking Japan’s situation of
commercial power supply and EUT specification into consideration is prescribed.
8. Put the electrostatic discharge simulator on the ground plane. Putting it on the horizontal coupling
plane is not allowed.
9. Connect the ground lead of the discharge gun to the ground plane. The M4 hole of the ground plane
can be used as the terminal for connection but there can be some cases that ground cable cannot
reach to the hole because of positioning of the gun and EUT. In such a case, set a new terminal on
the convenient position on the ground plane with using a screw or a braid.
[Supplementary]
In some cases of testing of the EUT which does nit have any ground line, such as battery drive
products, the EUT itself is charged with ESD injection, the effect of discharge is diminished, and as a
result, the validity of the test can be lost. To prevent such a situation, The EN/IEC 61000-4-2 standard
prescribes discharging (eliminating electricity) on every ESD test. The discharge cable of this product
can be used as a cable for eliminating electricity.
And, besides, in case of the EUT which has a nonconductive body, such as plastic, and metal
connector shells to be discharged in ESD test, injecting ESD with connecting a discharge cable to the
injection point is allowed. In such a case, direction of the discharge cable is prescribed. In case of using
the discharge cable of this product for such a case, connect a resistor in a quadruple prism shape case
to the injection point, a solderless terminal of the tip of the cable of a column shape case side to the
horizontal coupling plane.
When the result of the test is different depending on eliminating way, the result of the test of eliminating
on every discharge is first considered.
