"PE" may not be used as reference ground because it is connected to
the PE line of the mains cable via a filter. If tests are performed outside
an EMC chamber only a short ground cable may be used. Inside a
chamber the ground cable has to be connected between the ground
block and the chamber's shielding material (VDE 0877, Part1).
(16) EIA-232 interface
Safety hints
Attention!
All interface lines are galvanic coupled to the LISN.
As mentioned in paragraph "Safety" the LISN has to be operated on a
three line mains outlet (with protective ground line). An interface cable
between the EIA-232 interface of the LISN and the COM port of a PC
causes a galvanic connection between the two devices. To exclude
negative effects on other safety provisions the PC's power cable must
be connected to the same mains outlet as the LISN.
Disregarding these safety hints (also see "Safety") will result in the
loss of HAMEG's warranty in case of damages. HAMEG is not liable
for any injuries to personnel or any equipment.
Description
A bi-directional interface is available for remote controlling. A D-Sub
connector (9-pin, female) is located at the back panel of the LISN; the
communication with a computer according to the EIA-232 standard is
supported.
