Electromagnetic compatibility - Product family standard for audio, video, audio-visual and entertainment lighting control apparatus for professional use - Part 2: Immunity

This European Standard for EMC immunity requirements applies to professional audio, video, audio-visual and entertainment lighting control apparatus as defined in 3.6 intended for use in the environments described in Clause 4. This includes the digital apparatus defined in 3.5 and sub-assemblies, see 7.4. Disturbances in the frequency range 0 Hz to 400 GHz are covered, but requirements are not established over the whole of that range. NOTE 1 In Annex C, information is included on infra-red radiation in the wavelength range 0,7 µm to 1,6 µm. The objective of this standard is to define the immunity test requirements, test signals, performance criteria and test methods for apparatus defined in the scope, in relation to electromagnetic immunity to continuous and transient conducted and radiated electromagnetic disturbances including electrostatic discharges. These test requirements represent essential electromagnetic compatibility requirements. Fault conditions of source or victim apparatus are not taken into account. Apparatus as defined in 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6 may be operated with any source of power. NOTE 2 Sources of power may include, for example: the public low-voltage supply; private supplies with similar characteristics; a d.c. source provided specifically for the apparatus; batteries internal to the apparatus; stand-by generators. Some standards may not apply to private low-voltage supplies. NOTE 3 If it is intended to use a hand-held transmitter in proximity, additional mitigation measures may have to be employed to increase the electromagnetic immunity further, beyond the specified limits. This European Standard does not apply to – consumer apparatus, – apparatus specifically designed for security systems, – apparatus designed to radiate electromagnetic energy for radio communications purposes.

Elektromagnetna združljivost - Standard za družino izdelkov za regulacijo avdio, video, avdiovizualnih in osvetlitvenih zabaviščnih naprav za profesionalno uporabo - 2. del: Odpornost proti motnjam

Ta evropski standard za zahteve glede odpornosti EMC velja za profesionalne avdio, video, avdiovizualne in osvetlitvene zabaviščne naprave, kot so opredeljene v točki 3.6, namenjene za uporabo v okoljih, opisnih v Klavzuli 4. Vključuje digitalne naprave, opredeljene v točki 3.5., in podsklope (glej točko 7.4). Motnje v frekvenčnem razponu od 0 Hz do 400 GHz so zajete, vendar zahteve niso vzpostavljene za ta celotni razpon. OPOMBA 1: V Dodatku C so vključene informacije o infrardečem sevanju v razponu valovnih dolžin od 0,7 do 1,6 µm. Cilj tega standarda je opredeliti zahteve za preskušanje odpornosti, preskusne signale, merila zmogljivosti in preskusne metode za naprave, opredeljene na področju uporabe, glede na elektromagnetno odpornost proti neprekinjenim, začasnim in vodenim ter sevanim elektromagnetnim motnjam, vključno z elektrostatičnimi razelektritvami. Te preskusne zahteve predstavljajo bistvene zahteve za elektromagnetno združljivost. Okvare vira ali prizadete naprave niso upoštevane. Naprave, opredeljene v točkah 3.4, 3.5 in 3.6, lahko napaja kakršen koli vir energije.

- 13 - EN 55103-2:2009 The configuration and mode of operation during testing shall be precisely noted in the test report. It is not always possible to test every function of the apparatus; in such cases the most critical mode of operation shall be selected. Where applicable, test programs and software shall be chosen so as to exercise all normal modes of operation of the apparatus under test. The use of special exercising software is permitted provided that it can be shown that the apparatus under test is being comprehensively exercised in its normal operating modes. Tests shall be performed in well-defined and reproducible conditions for each type of test stimulus. The tests shall be carried out one by one in sequence, the sequence being optional. Each test or series of associated tests of one phenomenon shall be carried out under a single set of environmental conditions within the specified operating environmental range of the apparatus and at its rated supply voltage, unless otherwise specified in this standard or the relevant Basic Standard. NOTE 1 The test methods and stimuli are given in the standards (Basic Standards, where they exist) which are referred to in Table 1. Any necessary modifications or additional information needed for the practical application of the tests are specified in this standard. Audio frequency interference voltages shall be measured using the quasi-peak meter and psophometric weighting specified in HD 483.1 unless the manufacturer's specification states these voltages as A-weighted values or A-weighted levels in decibels (see HD 483.1). NOTE 2 The two methods of measurement may give differences in values which range, when expressed in decibels, from nearly zero to 14 dB or more, depending on the waveform of the voltage. If a magnetic or common mode signal or control port disturbance within the effective frequency range of the apparatus under test can cause the rated output level of the apparatus under test to be exceeded at the test level specified in this standard, the controls of the apparatus under test shall be set, or its operating mode chosen, so as to prevent this overloading (if possible) and the manufacturer shall state these settings or choice. If such a setting or choice is not possible, the manufacturer shall state that special precautions may be necessary to reduce the level of the relevant disturbance impinging on the apparatus, and shall state the highest level of disturbance that the apparatus can tolerate, together with the performance, or degradation from undisturbed performance, which that level produces. 7.3 Ports Tests shall be made on the relevant ports of the apparatus in accordance with Table 1. Tests shall only be carried out if the relevant port exists. If the apparatus has a large number of ports or ports with many similar connections, then a sufficient number shall be selected to simulate actual operating conditions and to ensure that all the different types of termination are covered. Interconnecting cables should be of the type specified in the individual apparatus requirements. The manufacturer should specify a maximum length for cables. Where it is reasonable, this length shall be used for testing. Where there are multiple interface ports all of the same type, connecting a cable to just one of that type of port is sufficient provided it can be shown that additional cables do not significantly affect the results. It is important that where any simulator is used instead of an actual interfacing apparatus, it properly represents the electrical and, if necessary, the mechanical characteristics of the interfacing apparatus, especially in respect of r.f. signals and impedances. 7.4 Sub-assemblies If the apparatus contains sub-assemblies which are provided with connectors so that they can be moved about within it, an attempt shall be made to minimise the immunity by moving the sub
