[PSES] 24 volt dimmable 60 to 100W FCC Part 15 Class B conducted emissions (CE) compliant?

2021-03-25 Thread Lee Hill
Hi everyone:

It seems that there are lots of dimmable 24V LED power supplies out there,
but the first 3 or 4 that we have looked at do not pass CE for various
loading conditions. These are not simple 24V DC output supplies, these also
have a two-terminal input port to accept a 0-10V analog or PWM control
signal or variable resistance to dim the attached LEDs (NOT using high-side
triac). I know there is a lot of experience and ideas on this listserv, but
I'm not looking for workarounds like external AC input or DC output
filters, I'm looking for an off-the-shelf supply that actually passes :-).
Can anyone suggest a manufacturer or series?

MeanWell dominates and some of their standard 24V supplies are good, but we
have "different experience" with the dimmables.

What a pain!

Thanks in advance

FCC Part 15 Class B Self Verifying

2000-12-01 Thread Courtland Thomas

Ok Group,

I appreciate all your helpful responses. It appears that 'Self Verifying'
and 'Declaring Conformity' take on slightly different meanings depending on
the type of equipment. Let's say that the equipment is not a personal
computer or computer peripheral. I want to 'Self Verify' where I do all the
testing and retain the test results. Can I label my equipment with any kind
of statement indicating that the equipment is Class B compliant? If yes,
does the Class B information on the label mean anything without an FCC ID?

Let's apply the same question, if I were to go the DoC route, where the
device has been tested  by a certified testing lab. Can I label my equipment
with any kind of statement indicating that the equipment is Class B
compliant?

All the information that I have read, isn't very clear.

Thanks,

Courtland Thomas

RE: FCC Part 15 Class B

2000-11-28 Thread Grant, Tania (Tania)

While it is true that all personal computers destined for the home user must
be Class B and therefore, "Certified", it is not true that any device that
meets Class B limits must, as a consequence, also be Certified.   

Thus, if the device falls into the product category under FCC Verification
(professional and other equipment not destined for the home user and not
available for general distribution in retail stores) such devices (as FCC is
wont to call them!) can be "verified"  as meeting Class B limits.   We have
seen in the past Intel and IBM high-end industrial PCs that have been
verified as meeting Class B limits, at a time when you still had to mention
the Class in the mandatory verification markings on the product.  However,
you never saw these PCs available in your local computer/electronic store.

Those of us in the industry that use such PCs are very pleased that they
meet Class B limits even if legally (per FCC) they don't have to.  Thus,
such PCs could still be marked as verified to Class A limits; however, if
they meet Class B, why not state so.   If you've got it, flaunt it!

It depends on the product. Attached is a copy of a chart found in Subpart B
that details the action needed for different products.  There are different
labelling requirements for Class B products that can use the DoC route.  You
can download FCC Pt15 at

Re: FCC Part 15 Class B

2000-11-28 Thread Jon D. Curtis

See 15.101.  Class B personal computers and peripherals may use either the
Certification or Declaration of Conformity equipment authorization procedure.
"Other class B digital devices and peripherals" are subject to the Verification
equipment authorization procedure.

Be careful as Verification is not the same as Declaration of Conformity with
different labeling requirements, test site accreditation requirements, etc.  See

47 CFR Part 2 for detailed descriptions of the equipment authorization
procedures.

Jon Curtis.

2000-11-28 Thread Jim Hulbert



Yes, class B ITE can be self-verified.  However, if the ITE is a personal
computer or personal computer peripheral, then the Declaration of Conformity
procedure must be followed.  The DofC procedure is essentially
self-certification, but requires that the testing be performed at an accredited
test laboratory (NVLAP, AALA).

If my memory is correct, in the near future the FCC will only accept DOC for
Class B and not accept submissions.  Many companies including the one I work

Re: FCC part 15 class B, GTEM

1999-11-29 Thread Sandy Mazzola

Ron,

   In ANSI C63.4-1992 (American National Standard for Methods of 
Measurement of Radio-Noise Emissions from Low-Voltage Electrical and Electronic 
Equipment in the Range of 9 KHz to 40 GHz) paragraph 5.4.2  Alternate Test 
Sites,  there is instructions on how to take measurements at an alternate test 
site (say a GTEM) and get the relevant authority (FCC) to accept them for final 
compliance .  It involves the taking of measurements in a GTEM and at an OATS 
and showing they correlate for your product under test and then sending it to 
the FCC.   We have done this and the FCC sent us a letter sort of approving our 
GTEM.  There was a caveat in the letter and at the end of 5.4.2 that says in 
cases of disagreements measurements at an OATS take precedence.

   I had also heard that in  ANSI C63.4-1999 version that GTEM's were going 
to be listed as an alternate test site making the performance of the above 
unnecessary.  Does anyone know if the listing of the GTEM as an alternate test 
site in ANSI C63.4-1999 took place.?

Hope this helps.

I would like to know if I can take compliance data for FCC part 15 class B
in a GTEM??   Where is it allowed in writing
by the FCC?  I would also like to do FCC parts 22 and 24 on AMPS and PCS
phones. I believe that a NSA would be needed.
Has anyone reading this taken compliance RE data in a GTEM?
Any information would be appreciated.

RE: FCC part 15 class B, GTEM?

1999-11-29 Thread Tony J. O'Hara

The FCC allowed GTEMs to be used as an alternative test site for making
radiated emissions measurements under Part 15 of the FCC rules on Dec 2
1993 via public notice #40830.

Regarding "correlation measurements": this Public Notice states that 
"Acceptable comparison data must be filed with the Customer Service Branch
accompanied by an appropriate analysis that demonstrates equivalence with
an OATS." and that "comparison data must be provided for each general type
of equipment under test (equipment of similar functionality and physical
configuration"

GTEM manufacturers such as Schaffner, EMCO etc should be able to provide
the required methodology etc!

Yes that is correct.

My recollection is that the FCC stated a GTEM could be utilized as an
alternate
test site of ANSI C63.4 if correlation to an Open Area Test site could be
established.  This correlation must include volumetric site attenuation
measurements and sample testing at a minimum.

You can contact Art Wall at the FCC  (aw...@fcc.gov) for more details.

RE: FCC part 15 class B, testing

1999-11-24 Thread Grasso, Charles (Chaz)


This is really a no brainer... To summarize: 
The answer to your questions is NO for the following
reasons:

1. You are testing in an anechoic chamber
(Read also K.Javors analysis)
2. The antenna cannot be raised to its
full height requirement.

Thats the bad news. The good news is that the FCC
have accepted semi-anechoic chambers that meet the
ANSI C63.4 site attenuation criteria as sutiable
for compiance data. I suggest you contact them
for more advice.

The "Gold Standard" IMHO is still the OATS.

RE: FCC part 15 class B, testing - correction

1999-11-24 Thread PETER PHILLIPS

The specification is now prEN50147-3
Emission measurements in Fully Anechoic Rooms

The specification has just finished being fully translated and is about to
go to vote by the 
CENELEC committee.

MIRA have been involved in the development of this standard for a long time,
this has included quite a detailed measurement program to determine the
accuracy correlation between measurements made on OATS sites and fully
anechoic sites. 

The correlation is not quite 6 dB, a correction factor of 5 dB has proved
more accurate. As for the height scanning, in theory one fixed height should
measure all emissions but in truth as the EUT size increases two or three
heights should be examined to ensure the peak measurement is recorded.

Regards

Peter

If the chamber is truly anechoic (six-sided absorber) then you will not meet
the site attenuation requirement, which is based on constructive
interference between direct and ground-bounced rays.

Re: FCC part 15 class B, testing

1999-11-24 Thread Pierre Selva

Hello,

Some months ago, I ask the same question to FCC. Their answer was very clear
!! As there is no standard allowing the use of an anechoic chamber for now,
you cannot use it to perform test for FCC certification.
We use our anechoic chamber to identify the frequencies from the product
under test, AND we perform final measurements on our OATS. This process is
fully accepted by FCC.

Pierre SELVA

RE: FCC part 15 class B, testing

1999-11-24 Thread Colgan, Chris

Hi Ron

I don't know if the FCC will accept measurements taken is an anechoic
chamber but.

If you want to make some meaningful measurements in a chamber you have to
make sure it is truly anechoic, you do not want any reflected waves.  You
should have the chamber validated to show that the chamber normalised site
transmission loss is within +/-4dB of free space.

As a consequence of the chamber being anechoic, you do not vary the height
of the receiving antenna as there is no reflected wave from the ground.  The
antenna height will correspond to the centre of your calibrated "test
volume".  You have to remember that the measurements will be 6dB lower than
those taken at an OATS because of the missing ground reflection, you should
adjust your  limits accordingly.

The standard EN50147-2:1997 "Anechoic chambers.  Alternative site
suitability with respect to site attenuation"  explains everything in
detail.

FCC part 15 class B, testing

1999-11-23 Thread RON_CHERNUS

I would like to know if I can take compliance data for FCC part 15 class B
in an anechoic chamber if I can't
vary the receive antenna from 1 to 4 metres?? (The chamber is not tall
enough) Or do I need an OATS or GTEM?
I would also like to do FCC parts 22 and 24 on AMPS and PCS phones. Any
information would be appreciated.
