IEC 61000-4-2

The test generator SESD 230 simulates electrostatic discharge as defined in the standard IEC / EN 61000-4-2. Higher test levels can be set far beyond the standard limits.

Two test methods are used depending on the test specimen and test setup:
Air discharge (AIR) and Contact discharge (CON)

The test probes for air and contact discharge are included in the scope of delivery! Further models for special requirements are available in our extensive range of accessories.

The large display with easy-to-read digits shows the current operating status, all selected parameters and the actual discharge voltage during air discharge. The clearly arranged keyboard and automatic programmable test sequences enable intuitive operation.

The ESD gun does not require a base unit and can be operated via an in-built rechargeable battery or mains supply. The device has a user-friendly touchscreen, ergonomic design and remote control software. The functional design and optional remote control software ensure optimum handling at an excellent price/performance ratio.

Accessories:
Like every product from Schlöder GmbH, the ESD simulators are complemented by a powerful portfolio of accessories to complete your test stations. Appropriate accessories are available for the SESD 230 for tests in accordance with IEC 61000-4-2.

• Horizontal coupling plane (HCP) - and vertical coupling plane (VCP)
• Earth cable
• ESD verification set, 4 GHz additionally with suitable transport case
• Test Tips for ESD
• Support arm with balancer and practical suspension hooks for hanging on the balancer
• Silicon sheet (IEC/EN 61000-4-2), table mats for ESD test stations
• ESD remote control software

Contact control:
The simulator has a "Contact control". When testing "CON" touches the test tip the surface of the EUT. When not contacted, will be no triggering of the pulse. The display shows "No contact". This ensures that at contact discharge actually occurs a discharge.
