Hi All, I've not paid much attention to this so far because I was working... shame on me.
It just so happens I have in the lab right now a high end cocker ( Range to the US folks ). This rascle has 2 microprocessors, to improve safely I'm told. It seems like the homework has been done, since it passed all tests at level 4. That was my clients request. The hardest thing we had was the clicks... Now when I saw the requirements ( cant remember which std ) it seamed like the EMC requirements were very low, BUT, there were additional safety requirements imposed separately. I wonder if the manufacturer only tested to the lowest requirements? Cheers, Derek.
