Test Equipment Description

The CWS 500N1.4 is the most compact single box test equipment for testing conducted rf immunity per IEC 61000-4-6 Ed. 3 and Ed. 4 and related standards with a frequency range of 100 kHz to 300 MHz. Apart from the 1 kHz 80 % AM signal the generator also generates a 2 Hz 80 % AM signal to test medical appliances and a 1 Hz PM signal with 50 % duty cycle required to test safety equipment like fire alarms. Equipped with a 1 GHz current monitor the CWS 500N1.4 can be used up to 1 GHz by means of an external amplifier. EM TEST supplies a large range of CDNs, EM clamp and current injection clamps as well as the corresponding calibration accessories. Full compliant levelling can be run from the front panel of the CWS 500N1.4 storing the results in 5 memory spaces is available.

Operating Functions

Front Panel

EM Test CWS 500 Front View
1"Test On"
By pressing the key "TEST ON", the test procedure can be started with the pre-selected parameters and amplifier is turned ON.
7Escape
The ESC button returns back to the previous level in the menu.
2Function Keys "F1 .. F7"
Parameters and functions displayed in the lowest line and functions displayed with ”F “, can be selected with the related function key.
8LED Current Probe Input
At the BNC output the current pulse of the generator can be measured. Dividing ratio is 10:1 (5V at 50A pulse).
3Display
All functions and parameters are displayed (8 lines with max. 40 characters).
9LED RF Output
When the RF output is active this LED on the front panel is illuminated to indicate that a test signal is applied to the test object.
4EXIT
The EXIT button resets the firmware to the main menu. This is only possible, if no test routine is running.
10RF-Output
At this output the RF power is available. The 6dB-attenuator is connected via coaxial cable. For conducting tests together with CDN’s, EM clamps or current injection clamps, the generator must always be loaded with a 6dB-attenuator as per IEC 61000-4-6.
5Cursor key
Parameters and functions can be changed during the test. The selection of these parameters is done with the cursor, moving it to the left or to the right. The increment value of the selected parameters in the lowest line can also be selected with the cursor key.
11Current Probe Input
For tests with a coupling clamp where the EUT current has to be monitored, the current probe can be connected to this input.
6Exit Knob (Inc / Dec)
This knob increments or decrements test parameters with a numeric value or selects parameters from a list.
ATTENTION: Do not connect the RF output directly to this input otherwise the CWS500 might damage.

4Safety Circuit10Fail 1 Detection "Stop"
The BNC input FAIL 1 is for failure detection on the EUT. If the input is set to ground (chassis), the
CWS 500N1.x generator stops the actual test routine and terminates the test. It is not possible to continue
the test routine.

A complete restart of the routine will be necessary. The message "FAIL 1" indicated on the LCD-Display as
well as in the icd.control software.
5Power On Switch and Fuse11Fail 2 Detection "Pause"
The BNC input FAIL 2 is for failure detection on the EUT. If the input is set to ground (chassis), a failure event detects, and the test continues normally. After 10 FAIL 2 events the program will stop and the message "FAIL 2: 10" indicates on the LCD-Display as well as in the icd.control software.
