Re: [PSES] Audio Frequency Induction Loop

Sorry the quoted limits from the installer of the Afil system are from BS EN  
60118-4:1998 :
I will read the 2006 and see if there have been any changes.

Andy

EN50121-2:2006 states in Table C1 that the typical magnetic field from 
a 750V catenary railway drawing 1000A at 10m is 15 micro Teslas 
(15000nT or 15 ?T). The field will decay at approximately the distance 
squared ; so at 35m the field will be down to around 10nT.

I'd want to confirm that by my own calculation. I can't do that immediately, 
but later.

BS EN  60118-4:2006. This standard states :

5.2 Environmental audio-frequency magnetic background fields The 
function of the installed induction loop system may not be satisfactory 
if there are undue environmental magnetic background fields. The 
maximum A-weighted environmental magnetic background noise level re 1 
A/m, measured with the time weighting S (as defined in IEC 61672), 
should not exceed – 40 dB anywhere in the operational area.

I don't know where you got that from (maybe a draft or an older edition of the 
standard), but it's nothing like the text of EN 60118-4:2006. 5.2 is about 
speech signals and magnetic noise is in 4.2.2.

I am conducting some tests on the tram tonight which should give me 
some more figures to use.

OK: the spectrum of the field matters. Maybe you can capture it with a free 
audio program such as Audacity.

Re: [PSES] General Product Safety Directive

2014-01-29 Thread Charlie Blackham
Scott

 Is this directive applicable to all products?  

No - it's more of a catch-all for consumer products not covered by other (CE 
marking) directives.
More information  http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/safety/prod_legis/index_en.htm

Article 3.3 of the GPSD discusses the hierarchy for demonstration of compliance 
through application of standards and/or other documents.

Charlie

Hi

Is this directive applicable to all products?  If the product complies with the 
standard listed in OJ, the product is considered in compliance with GPSD?

If I cannot find any relevant harmonised product specific standard for 
verification, how can the supplier demonstrate the product in compliance with 
GPSD?

Best regards,

Scott

[PSES] Need HDMI connection solution for EMC enclosure

2014-01-29 Thread Grasso, Charles
Hello all,

Does anyone know of a HDMI connector solution for penetrating an EMC enclosure 
PEM panel?

(I am considering fibre but its just a bit expensive)
