RE: Telecom Ports
CAUTION! The Notified Body is not optional. The ISM band is not harmonized. The transmitter is a class 2 product and member countries may have restrictions. Further, the EC authority of each memeber country must be notified 4 weeks prior to placing on the market and a fee of $500 is required. Contacting a NB is good advice.

It regarded a Ethernet port on test equipment. His question was as follows: 1. A phone line port has to comply with related regulations in Telecom world. In my recollection, PC industry just added an Immunity requirement to the phone line port. (It is included in EN55024?) But Ethernet can be converted to phone line through an adapter. Is there a similar immunity requirement for the Ethernet port in test equipment? If not, should it be added to EN61326? My dilemma is that my company "inherited" a piece of equipment via an earlier acquisition. On this piece of equipment they incorporated an RJ-11 telecom jack. Over this jack they are running power (+12V & pwr gnd) from a remote battery pack and RS-232 (Tx & Rx)comm which terminates to a PC. Can anyone provide me with some insight with regards to EMI/RFI requirements and device safety (I have somewhat of a handle on the safety side - but welcome other opinions!).

FW: Surge
Richard, This was our intuitive thought too. However, I do not fully understand the discharge network and do not know, for instance, if the total joules delivered to the coupler is independent of load or impedance. Does the network always fully discharge? Today we spent some time to capture it. The following test was run on the AC: One EUT was connected to the coupling/decoupling network. A digital scope and fast Fluke probe was used to capture the voltage waveform at the input of the EUT. The data was plotted. A second EUT was added in parallel to the coupling/decoupling network. The test was re-run (no moving the probe) and the data was plotted. To my surprise, there was no change in waveform. My expectation was to see no change in rise time but to see a much faster decay time. A second test was attempted with a Fischer F-33-1 current probe. Not successful. The subject EUTs pull approx. 1/4 Amp, no surge protection devices. The test equipment is Keytek ECAT system (E4551 and E501A). We are proceeding to make a justification of the method (for these particular EUTs ONLY) that the individual EUTs are not under-stressed. I would like to seek additional input from the group. Unfortunately, most senior staff at Keytek involved in the development of the system have left. If anyone knows of whereabouts, please email. Also if anyone has a contact at Schaffner or Haefely.

Re: Chamber and OATS Coorelation
Don, We have made correlation between our chamber and OATS using the CNE meter at several positions in the "uniform field" of the chamber. Chamber antenna fixed, Oats antenna scanned. We have created a correction table whereby one point or an average of several points can be used depending on the particular EUT you are testing. If you have knowledge of where the EUT is emitting, maybe a top slot of a 6ft cabinet, you can elect to apply a specific correction. Or if the EUT is small, then the average of 4 points may cover the area of the EUT. We have gotten very good results. However, when cables are involved, correlation goes down. Our next run will include the several positions on the OATS also.

Conducted emissions for an intentional radiator
Pierre, I understand from your request that you are following FCC Part 15 Subpart C for an intentional radiator that operates on an ISM frequency. I think the section you are recalling regarding "frequencies generated by the product, except the one needed for functional purpose" is part 18.305. This section allows for unlimited radiated energy in the band specified (13.56 +/- 7.0 kHz). The rules do not allow for unlimited conducted energy in Part 15 or Part 18. If you only need to do as proposed, show that no other frequencies are over the limit within the bandwidth of the fundamental, I think the hood (of same impedance) is a great idea. Regarding the conducted level of the fundamental, the above assumes that your message meant 30 dBuV over the limit. I recommend calling the FCC and getting a judgement. A good contact for this part is Rich Fabina at ex. 3027. If international time is a problem and you need it now, I will be happy to make the call. You may contact me if desired by phone or email.

This product is a contactless card reader. It's made of an external power supply block (which is not sold with the product) and a kind of box with the antenna included (antenna is loop of coaxial cable, about 20cm diameter). Radiated tests are passed, but conducted levels are about 30 dBµV under the limit at 13.56 MHz (fundamental frequency). I cannot reduce the power to obtain an acceptable level, because this one is necessary to have a good behaviour of the product. With this power, the maximum distance between card reader and card is about 10cm. Do you know if I can replace the integrated antena by a 50 Ohms hood when I perform the conducted emission test, in order to show that no other frequencies are generated by the product, except the one needed for functional purpose ? Do you know if FCC Part 15 or ANSI C63.4 authorizes this kind of procedure ?

Re: Telecom reqs.
Dear Lost, A piece of equipment tested to EN 300 386-1,-2 V1.1.3 (1997) [Telecommunication Centres] does not fully meet the requirements of EN 50082-1:1992 or 1998. ESD would be under-tested, Air Discharge, for both generics, and magnetic immunity would not have been addressed for the 1998. For [Other than Telecommunication Centres] the requirements of the 1992 would be meet (however, ESD would be over-tested, Contact Discharge), but still not the 1998 magnetic. Note that we are talking about a notebook PC. There are other considerations for ports such as DC and outdoor signal lines. In consideration of the Vice Versa: Presumably, there will be a connection to the telephone lines or to the back side of routing equipment. In the case of a connection to the telephone lines, the generics to not fully cover the requirements of the 300-386. Perhaps you are unsure about the applicability of 300-386. The original message stated "It's to be used as part of a telecomm central office troubleshooting set". Under the Scope of 300-386 it states "General purpose equipment which is used as a part of a switching system may be covered by the scope of other standards. For such equipment, if those other standards fully cover all the requirements of the present document, no further requirements are necessary." Although "general purpose" is not defined, it is probably acceptable to associated troubleshooting equipment with general purpose equipment. Certainly it will take more information to determine, "legally," the applicability and cross referencing. Perhaps the original reference to "routing equipment" does not fall under the category of "Switching Equipment." With all of that stated there is one thing left. Computer Dynamics is an OEM. They design, develop, manufacture, and integrate ITE and Telecom type products. They, like the rest of us, must meet the requirements of NUMBER ONE - their customer. The request for compliance has come from them. And if they want "CE Telecomm Compliance," then compliance it is - 300-386.

Re: Flow Meter EMC requirements
Dear flow meter, I read my own message this morning and found a mistake. For the US, the meter falls under part 18 assuming that is DOES intentionally generate RF energy for the purpose of mechanical vibration, ionizing gases, accelerating particles etc.. In my experience with a flow meter, this was the case. Otherwise, assuming that it is exempt from part 15, you are only required to hand it over to the FCC if they ask for it and cease operation if notified by the commission that it is causing harmful interference.

Re: Flow Meter EMC requirements
For the US, it is likely that your equipment falls under Part 15 Subpart B or Part 18 of the rules. For the EU, it is likely that your equipment falls under the generic emission and immunity requirements. Further information about your product is required. Part 15 is for unintentional radiating digital devices that use timing signals in excess of 9kHz and uses digital techniques for the purpose of performing data processing functions such as electronic computations, data processing, storage, retrieval, transfer etc.. Does your flow meter perform these type of functions? Does it have or connect to a computer? If not it likely falls under part 18. Furthermore, and not withstanding the answers to the above, if the device is used exclusively as industrial, commercial, or medical test equipment, then it is exempt from part 15 and will fall under part 18. However, it is also likely that for this type of equipment, the test requirements (radiated and AC line conducted emissions) will be the same whether part 15 or 18, assuming that the device does not intentionally generate RF energy for the purpose of mechanical vibration, ionizing gases, accelerating particles etc.. To that end, I will guess that your device falls under Part 18 and is further classified under part 18.203(b) - non-consumer ISM equipment, which requires "verification" under part 2 subpart J. No evolvement by the FCC is required. For the EU: Your equipment falls under the product family standard EN 61326 (Electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use - EMC requirements). Legally however, you may claim EMC compliance by applying the generic emission and immunity standards EN 50081-2 and EN 50082-2 until July 1, 2001. Further information about your product is necessary to determine all the tests that would be required. For example: is it AC and/or DC powered and does it have long distance lines or I/O cables longer than 3 meters? The above is for EMC compliance only. There is safety issues as well. The CE mark presumes compliance with all applicable directives. If you don't get further info you can call our lab 919-554-0901.

The Doors
No, it is not about the rock group. It is about the doors of GR-1089-CORE. Over the last couple of days I have enjoyed observing multiple opinions and supporting evidence of the proper limit to apply to a product that has no cabinet doors (Table 3-1 Vs Table 3-2). It is clear that at minimum, the emission levels with cabinet doors open must meet the open door requirement and with cabinet doors closed must meet the closed door requirement. Perhaps this is a fine way to limit the shielding effectiveness of the enclosure so that in real life, when the doors have been removed and tossed, the threat of interference remains low. And how about "cabinet" doors. That type of language seams to indicate a large 7ft cabinet in which rack mount devices are contained. Is the actual housing/chassis of the EUT considered a "cabinet" ? There does seam to be an indication that another type of door exists - one that is not intended to be opened during EUT operation, maintenance, and/or repair. What type of door is this that remains closed during all of those circumstances. And what is the un-identified operation mode for which it is opened? And now finally for equipment that is not intended to be placed in a cabinet - maybe table-top or open-rack type. Notwithstanding the ultimate decision being driving by the RBOCs, what do you think? See some of you at the conference next week. Regards, Dale Albright EMCI

Re: NSA
Is the problem in Horizontal or Vertical? Is the site high or low? Where in the 1 to 4 meters is it maximum? What type of antennas are used? What does the graph look like from 35 to 60 MHz?

Re: EMC Detective and Flushing Toilet
Dear Customer, In order to speculate the cause to the effect, please answer the following question: Is the water to which your house is connected supplied via the city water supply, or supplied via your own well pump? Answer: I live in a rural area and have a well pump. After careful thought of your smelly situation, we present the following scenario: The water that feeds your house is likely pumped a couple hundred feet up with a 1/2 to 3/4 HP pump. The water pressure in the lines is regulated by a pressure switch which limits the high and low pressure, and a pressure tank that is pressurized and supplies pressure to the lines. When the line pressure is too low "low limit" (usually approx. 20 psi), the switch closes and powers on the pump. As the pressure increases to the specified "high limit" (usually approx. 40 psi), the switch open and powers off the pump. If the pressure tank is very small (not a lot of volumn) or if the range between the "low limit" and the "high limit" is small, then a single flush of the toilet can use up all of the pressure in the tank and trigger the "low limit" switch and power on the pump. If your rural area is like mine, your AC mains supply is provided through some cheesey utility company like ... I won't say. Never-the-less your AC mains feed is not up to par, and under these conditions we speculate that each time your toilet is flushed the pump is powered on which causes a temporary voltage reduction in the AC mains (on the order of 40% to 70% of voltage). The voltage reduction is significant enough to cause your computer to reboot. . Apparently, your computer was not tested by EMCI for compliance to EN 61000-4-11. Please take the following action to verify the speculation: Switch the well pump breaker in the breaker panel to the OFF position. Flush the toilet. After the water in the toilet holding tank has flushed, the tank should not completely re-fill. Check the status of the computer. If the computer did not reboot, switch the well pump breaker to the ON position. Check the status of the computer. If the computer did reboot, take the following action to solve the problem: Install a UPS to provide power to the computer. If the computer did not reboot, call Bill Gates and tell him that you just discoverd yet another one of his alluding Windows bugs!
