Safety and regulatory information
Safety instructions
LISNs are designed according to CISPR 16-1-2 (EN 55016-1-2) and do not meet the
permissible limit for the leakage current as defined in EN 61010-1. In addition, LISNs
do not provide basic insulation, rated as measurement category II (protection class 1).
Therefore, only connect, set up and use LISNs if you are an electrically skilled person.
Electrically skilled persons have the relevant education and experience to enable them
to perceive risks and to avoid hazards that electricity can cause.
These users also need sound knowledge of at least one of the languages in which the
user interfaces and the product documentation are available.
LISNs can pose hazardous and even life-threatening risks:
●
Electrical shock because of a high leakage current and live parts if the LISN is not
grounded.
●
Electrical shock because the LISN does not have a fuse in the measuring circuit.
●
Burns and fire hazard caused by overheating of the housing. Overheating can
occur if the ventilation is insufficient or if the cables' cross-section is too small.
If any part of the LISN is damaged or broken, stop using the LISN. Never open the casing of the LISN. Only service personnel authorized by Rohde & Schwarz are allowed to
repair the LISN. Contact Rohde & Schwarz customer service at http://www.rohde-
schwarz.com/support.
Lifting and carrying the product
Look up the weight in the data sheet. If the product is heavy, you cannot move or carry
it on your own. A single person can only carry a maximum of 18 kg safely, depending
on age, gender and physical condition. To move the product safely, you can also use
lifting or transporting equipment such as lift trucks or forklifts. Follow the instructions
provided by the lifting or transporting equipment manufacturer.
Choosing the operating site
Only use the LISN indoors in rooms equipped with a protective earth connection (for
example EMC test rooms). The product casing is not waterproof and water that enters
the casing can electrically connect the casing with live parts. This can lead to electric
shock, serious personal injury or death if you touch the casing.
You can operate the product up to an altitude of 2000 m above sea level. The product
is suitable for pollution degree 2 environments where nonconductive contamination can
occur.
For more information on environmental conditions such as ambient temperature and
humidity, see the data sheet.
Setting up the product
Always place the LISN on a stable, flat and level surface with the bottom of the LISN
facing down. Make sure that the air supply is not obstructed from any side.
Place the LISN on a nonflammable base, for example, a metal plate, to prevent a fire if
the ventilation system fails or if it gets too hot.
If the LISN has foldable feet, always fold the feet completely in or out to ensure stability. The feet can collapse if they are not folded out completely or if the LISN is moved

Safety and regulatory information
Safety instructions
without lifting it. The foldable feet are designed to carry the weight of the LISN, but not
an extra load.
Observe the applicable national regulations and standards as part of the installation
process.
Protective ground connection
Always establish a protective ground connection before connecting the LISN to a
power source. A protective ground protects you from electrically live parts on the casing caused by high leakage currents. High leakage currents can cause electric shock,
serious personal injury or death if you touch the casing.
●
Only use ground cables that have a sufficient cross-section that complies with
VDE 0100-540 part 5-54 (IEC 60364-5-54).
●
Validate that the ground connection is safe.
●
The ground connection must remain until you have disconnected the LISN from the
power source.
●
If the LISN has an auxiliary voltage, secure the test setup with a second protective
ground. The second ground connection protects you from live parts if the ground
connection of the auxiliary cable fails.
Connecting to power
The product is an overvoltage category II product and has to be connected to a fixed
installation used to supply energy-consuming equipment such as household appliances and similar loads. Electrically powered products have risks, such as electric shock,
fire, personal injury or even death.
Observe the protective measures given by VDE 0100-410 (IEC60364-4-41) while
working with the LISN.
Take the following measures for your safety:
●
Use double-insulated connecting cables with an appropriate minimum cross-section and an appropriate minimum voltage rating.
Select the cable based on the maximum power consumption of the device under
test, the fuse rating of the building installation and the cable length. When installing
the supplied cable sockets, observe the assembly instructions and the requirements of the manufacturer.
●
By design, LISNs do not have a fuse in the measuring circuit. Therefore, you have
to make sure that the operating circuit between the power supply and the power
connector of the LISN is fused correctly.
●
Only use the power cable delivered with the product. It complies with country-specific safety requirements.
●
Only use intact cables and route them carefully so that they cannot be damaged.
Check the power cables regularly to ensure that they are undamaged. Also ensure
that nobody can trip over loose cables.
●

4.6Connecting the equipment under test
Preparing for use
Connecting the test receiver
In order to prevent RF interference emitted by the mains grounding conductor from
reaching the reference mass, the grounding conductor and the reference mass are
decoupled by a PE-choke. This choke should not be bridged by the EMI test receiver,
which is also connected to the measurement reference ground. Therefore, either an
isolated or a battery-powered receiver must be used, or a PE choke must also be
placed on the PE connection of the receiver.
The equipment under test is connected via the socket (1) on the front of the
R&S AMN6500. Constant current must not exceed 16 A. For ambient temperatures
>35°C, external air ventilation is recommended.
The RFI voltage measurement plane is located on the front panel of the
R&S AMN6500. The impedance gradient of connections N and L1 of the socket is
measured against the reference ground connectors (4-mm-jacks) to the left and right
(2) of the socket (1).

When measuring devices that are held in the hand during operation (e.g. electric drills),
the effect of the human hand is simulated by connecting to the "Artificial Hand" hand
simulation jack.
The hand simulation consists of the connection in series of a 220-pF-capacitor with a
510-Ω-resistor. The connection is located in the front panel of the R&S AMN6500.
If the housing of the equipment under test is made entirely of metal, the "Artificial
Hand" jack is connected to the housing the equipment under test.
If the housing is made from non-conductive material, metal foils are wound round the
handles and a 60 mm wide foil is wound round the point on the housing that can also
be gripped by the hand. All foils are connected together and with the "Artificial Hand"
jack.
The figure in chapter 3, section entitled "Sample measurement" on the following page
illustrates an example of how the foils are applied.
HF disturbers on the supply line of the R&S AMN6500 may lead to interference voltages at the measurement output "RF Output".

Remote control
The functions L1, N and 150 kHz HP can be controlled remotely by applying a static
LOW level to the appropriate contact of the SUB-D25 female connector (1) on the rear
of the R&S AMN6500.
1
When a LOW signal is detected at input L1, N or 150 kHz HP, the corresponding function is activated and manual operation is blocked at the same time. The functions that
have been switched on are indicated by the associated LEDs. When remote control is
active, the REMOTE LED is lit.
When the LOW signal is removed, manual operation is enabled again and the status
set manually prior to the remote operation is restored.
The settings are not saved if the device is disconnected from mains supply; instead,
the default status ( L1 "ON" and 150 kHz HP "OFF") is always restored when mains
power is switched on.
The R&S AMN6500 is configured for direct connection to Rohde & Schwarz test
receivers.
If remote control is performed via an R&S receiver, the REMOTE LED is lit when the
"ENV216" type network is selected. The user can choose between Phase "N" and "L1".
The 150-kHz-highpass filter can be inserted into the signal path by pressing the "On"
softkey in the LISN Settings dialog on the receiver.
The pulse limiter is not remote controllable. For safety reasons at remote control the
pulse limiter is turned on. If it is assumed, that the pulse limiting influences the noise
spectrum, it can be manually remeasured.

Contacting customer support
Before any maintenance work on the R&S AMN6500 is executed, read the Safety
Instructions carefully.
The device does not need to be regularly maintained. Maintenance is limited essentially to wiping the device's external surfaces. See "Cleaning the product"on page 6.
A device safety inspection of the network as defined in BGV A3 is not possible
because of the design according to CISPR 16-1-2 (EN 55016-1-2) and measurement
set-up according to CISPR 16-2-1 (EN 55016-2-1). Therefore, the following examinations must be carried out as a minimum requirement.
6.1.1Visual inspection
Ensure that parts relevant for active and passive safety are not visibly damaged or
even unsuitable for use in the device.
1. Remove the R&S AMN6500 from the mains supply.
2. Let the R&S AMN6500 cool down to ambient temperature.
3. Check the following parts for damage:
a) Housing, displays, carrying handles, air vents
b) Device connection cables, connection points and mains lead cleats
c) Mains plug, fuse holder
d) Labeling and markings, warning notices
e) Isolated parts, wiring insulation
f)Plug connections and clamping points
g) Vent and leakage paths must not be altered unacceptably.
If any damage is detected, remove the R&S AMN6500 from the test environment
and contact R&S customer support. See Chapter 6.2, "Contacting customer sup-
port", on page 25.
