EP-600 series – RF electric field probes

Extra compact, flexible and easy-to-use, ER8000 is a high performance, full CISPR 16-1-1 compliant EMI receiver perfect for any conducted and radiated measurement from 9 kHz up to 3 GHz.

A full compliant span as fast as two seconds in band B and as fast as one minute in bands C+D is the result of a state-of-the-art design featuring FFT architecture to optimize measurement speed.

Other technical improvements include an extremely effective front end with efficient pre-selector, for outstanding performance, and a user port suited for external devices like LISNs and switching boxes for even faster testing times.

The ER8000 also features an internal built-in 16 A LISN (Line Impedance Stabilization Network), so this compact setup can perform conducted emission measurement tests and characterize EUTs quickly and effectively, whether in the design lab during product development or in an EMC laboratory for the certification of EMI measurements. An optional DDA Click Analyzer makes this measurement system more attractive and profitable than ever.

The compact size and rugged yet lightweight design make the ER8000 the perfect solution for in-situ testing. PMM Emission Suite software (included free of charge) is the ideal companion for this high performance receiver, featuring a full set of user-friendly functions for all EMI applications.

The receiver can be ordered with two different frequency ranges: 9 kHz to 30 MHz (ER8000 opt. 00), or 9 kHz to 3 GHz (ER8000 opt. 01). Users can upgrade from version opt. 00 to version opt. 01 at any time.

The innovative CA0010 is the full compliant companion for the ER9000, ER8000 or 9010F EMI FFT receiver allowing performing any kind of click (discontinuous disturbance) analysis and measurement.

The conjunction of the PMM FFT EMI receiver with this click analyzer is capable of four simultaneous measurements at the frequencies of 150 kHz, 500 kHz, 1,4 MHz and 30 MHz and can work as a standalone setup for compliant tests. In addition, when connected to a PC, a dedicated software produces a full trace with additional information like IF and QP time diagram of every channel, graph of the detected clicks for each channel and a complete trace with offline Rewind-Play-Pause-Forward capability for any possible use.

This software can also manage a unique internal click calibrator able to generate all the signals required to check the analyzer performance in compliance with CISPR 16-1-1 requirements. It is possible to set all the relevant parameters such as amplitude and duration of each click, the interval between them, the number of click repetition and, last but not least, the amplitude of CISPR pulses. Indeed, unique on the market the CA0010 Calibrator embeds a full compliance B-Band CISPR 16-1-1 pulse generator allowing thus performing the test #2 and #3 of table 14 in CISPR16-1-1, without the need of any external additional generator.

The internal click generator is full compliant with the requirements specified in CISPR 16-1-1 and can be used to self-calibrate the CA0010 or any other external click meter.

The same high versatility is also reflected in the User Selectable Operating Modes: two rates/two upper quartiles, two rates/four upper quartiles, four rates/four upper quartiles and single run/double run (not conditioned by the previous ones).

Full compliant to all old and new “click” existing standards: CISPR 16-1-1:2019 Ed.5 and previous editions, CISPR 14-1:2020 Ed.7 and previous editions, CENELEC old and new equivalent versions of these two standards (EN 55016-1-1 and EN 55014-1). This Click Meter also features an internal 16 ampere LISN (although an external one can always be connected) and a switch operations counting unit, too.

The CA0010 has an outstanding dynamic range and saturation control, thanks to the internal tailored preselection, guaranteed by its CISPR full compliance RF front end.

The FR4003 is the new gold standard in measuring electric fields up to 30 MHz. Thanks to its innovative approach it replaces traditional rod antennas and adds several benefits. It fully meets all MIL-STD and CISPR specifications for rod antennas and is also a fully-compliant CISPR 16-1-1 receiver with a fiber optic link that allows it to work as a stand-alone device (when connected to a PC) or in tandem with a PMM receiver. It fully meets all the standards in both swept and FFT mode, as selected by the user.

It is possible to switch the analog signal from the internal receiver to the analog output and connect it to any standard receiver by traditional coaxial cable, although this is not recommended due to scattering and other drawbacks typical of rod antennas.

The internal receiver structure features pre-selectors, attenuators and preamplifiers fully controlled either by the internal firmware or manually by the operator. Hence, a test set-up requires no additional receiver. An internal tracking generator allows a self-calibration procedure to guarantee optimum performance and accurate measurements. This tracking generator is part of an internal capacitance meter that is crucial not only for self-calibration, but also for verifying the grounding effectiveness of the antenna. The FR4003 can even become a field generator. In this case the antenna broadcasts the signal produced by the internal signal generator and can therefore be used to characterize environments or other receiving set-ups.

Standard PEMS controlling software is included with the FR4003. Thanks to its rechargeable and easily replaceable Li-ion battery, the FR4003 can work for several hours on its own and therefore with an unperturbed field.

Top performance and superb accuracy make the full CISPR 16-1-1 compliant EMI receiver PMM ER9000 the ideal instrument for any conducted and radiated measurement from 10 Hz up to 3 GHz.

Despite its compact size, the PMM ER9000 features a built-in battery and touch-screen color display, making it even easier and faster to use this portable receiver for debugging and certification test in any EMC laboratory.

A full compliant span as fast as two seconds in band B and as fast as one minute in bands C+D is the result of a state-of-the-art design featuring FFT architecture to optimize measurement speed.

Other technical improvements include an extremely effective front end with efficient preselector and two-stage preamplifier for lower noise or lower saturation, for outstanding performance, and a user port suited for external devices like LISNs and switching boxes for even faster testing times.

Very easy to operate, the PMM ER9000 features an internal CW generator that can be used for self-calibration routines and for generating RF signals (e.g. for EUT testing), and a CISPR pulse generator perfect for assessing receiver performance in accordance with CISPR standards.

Effective communication is ensured by a traditional Ethernet port as well as a fiber optic port.

An external DDA Click Analyzer makes the use of this measurement system more attractive and profitable than ever.
