Antenna Calibration

Dear Jonathan, Thank you very much for sharing. I have a 3m chamber. What is your or members' comment I should request three or ten meter calibration distance? My concern is: Section 5.1 of ANSI C63.5-2006 (two paragraphs excerpted below for convenience) states "For either use, the measur

Those systems are covered, but there’s nothing that excludes products. Take for example an RCD device. Clearly its function is safety-related. Why wouldn’t the 61508 series be relevant? Jim Eichner, P.Eng. Compliance Engineering Manager Xantrex Technology Inc. e-mail: jim.eich...@xantrex.c

If a standard shall be listed under LVD, it must be electrical safety related. I can’t see that 61508 should be LVD listed, since it deals with HW / SW functional safety. So you can sell a functional safety related product, CE mark it and not make any references to LVD. An example is a flame det

Hi John, Thank you very much. We have several different types of batteries. Lithium battery is one of them. I believe the Japanese requirement starting November 20, 2008 is for the lithium battery. I assume the PSE mark required is the diamond one (not circle one). Please confirm. Best re

Hello Grace, You are correct in that Lithium Batteries are now regulated in Japan and require the (PS)E circle mark not the E diamond mark. Here is a summary of what I know Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) has added "Lithium batteries:" into a list of regulated DEN

It's a little hard to comment w/o a schematic. But note that under NFPA 79 there are two classes of circuits. It seems like your heater circuit may be considered a power circuit. Therefore, the inspector could be commenting on the circuit which controls the "coil" of the 24V solid state relay. N

61508 is not a product standard. It relates to systems that provide System Safety where a portion of the system is electrical, electronic, or programmable. System Safety as a discipline looks at the severity of hazards that are present if something fails to perform as designed, the likely hood of
