SIST EN 301 489-2 V1.3.1:2003 is the Slovenian adoption of ETSI EN 301 489-2 V1.3.1, a harmonised EMC standard for radio paging equipment and associated ancillary equipment. It specifies how to test and judge paging receivers, transmitters and combined equipment for Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC), using EN 301 489-1 as the common base and adding paging-specific conditions. The standard is used in conformity work under the EMC Directive and the R&TTE Directive.

What does SIST EN 301 489-2 V1.3.1:2003 specify?

SIST EN 301 489-2 V1.3.1:2003 specifies the assessment of paging equipment and associated ancillary equipment for EMC. It focuses on test conditions, performance assessment and performance criteria for radio paging receivers, transmitters and combined equipment.

The scope works together with EN 301 489-1. That common part supplies the general EMC framework, while this part adds the special conditions for paging equipment. The document also leaves antenna port specifications and enclosure port emission requirements to the relevant product standards for radio spectrum use.

Annex	What it covers
Annex A	Informative examples and definitions of paging equipment in scope
Annex B	Informative bibliography

Equipment covered in the scope includes ERMES paging equipment, on-site paging equipment and wide-area paging equipment. Equipment covered by the Marine Equipment Directive is outside the scope.

What are the key requirements of SIST EN 301 489-2 V1.3.1:2003?

The main technical content is in Clauses 4 to 7. SIST EN 301 489-2 V1.3.1:2003 sets the special test setup, the way performance is checked during immunity testing, and the criteria the equipment must meet before, during and after exposure.

Test conditions and signal arrangements

Clause 4 requires the EN 301 489-1 test conditions to be applied as appropriate, with paging-specific modifications. For receivers, tests are done in standby mode, and mobile or pocket receivers are checked with recognizable messages stored where applicable. For base receivers, the wanted RF input signal remains applied during the tests.

For transmitters, mobile or pocket transmitters operate with an unmodulated carrier at maximum rated output power if possible. Base transmitters normally stay in standby mode, except for the spot frequency test, where they are also operated at maximum rated output power with normal test modulation.

The document also specifies how test signals are coupled to the equipment. This matters because the lab must use the correct antenna, cable or test fixture arrangement so the EMC test reflects normal use.

Exclusion bands and normal test modulation

Clause 4 defines exclusion bands for receivers and transmitters. For receivers, the exclusion band is based on the manufacturer’s alignment range and is extended according to the operating frequency band. For transmitters in channelized bands, the exclusion band is five times the channel spacing around the operating frequency.

Clause 4.5 defines normal test modulation. For mobile and pocket receivers, the wanted RF input signal represents selective recognizable messages. For base receivers, it is an unmodulated carrier. For transmitters, the normal test modulation represents the calling function. In practice, this tells the test house what signal pattern to use so the equipment is exercised in a realistic way.

Performance assessment and criteria

Clause 5 explains how performance is judged, and Clause 6 gives the criteria. The assessments look for maintained communications links, correct message transfer or call detection, and absence of false calls or unintentional transmission.

For mobile or pocket receivers, the document uses recognizable messages and call received signals to verify operation. For base receivers, performance is checked by audio breakthrough measurements. For transmitters, the assessment is based on maintaining the communication link and, for some tests, call acceptance or successful transfer of paging calls.

Clause 6 sets the detailed criteria for continuous and transient phenomena on transmitters and receivers, including limits on audio or modulation breakthrough and the requirement that equipment finishes the test with no loss of function. For spot frequency testing, the document uses a 4/5 call acceptance ratio criterion.

Applicability overview and special immunity test

Clause 7 links the paging-specific conditions to the EN 301 489-1 emission and immunity tables. It states that there are no special emission conditions for paging equipment in this part, but there is a special immunity condition: an additional spot frequency test at 80, 104, 136, 165, 200, 260, 330, 430, 560, 715 and 920 MHz ± 1 MHz, excluding frequencies inside the exclusion band and including the edge frequencies of that band. Mobile or pocket transmitters and base receivers are exempted from that spot frequency test.

What terms does SIST EN 301 489-2 V1.3.1:2003 define?

SIST EN 301 489-2 V1.3.1:2003 uses several paging-specific terms in Clause 3.

• Alignment range - the frequency range over which the receiver or transmitter can be programmed or re-aligned without physical component changes other than programmable and frequency controlling devices.
• Calling function - the transmission of a message from the base transmitter to the paging receiver to alert or inform the user.
• Talk-back function - the message path from a pocket transmitter to a central receiver for further processing.
• Base receiver - a receiver at a fixed location.
• Pocket receiver - a stand-alone pocket paging receiver, or one in a pocket paging transceiver, intended for portable use.
• Standby mode - for a receiver, a mode ready to receive calls; for a base transmitter, a mode waiting for a start control signal; for a pocket transmitter, a mode waiting for a control signal to start transmission.
• Equipment Under Test (EUT) - the equipment being tested for EMC performance.
• Enhanced Radio MEssage System (ERMES) - one of the paging system types named in the abbreviations.

Who uses SIST EN 301 489-2 V1.3.1:2003?

SIST EN 301 489-2 V1.3.1:2003 is used by paging equipment manufacturers, EMC test laboratories, conformity assessment bodies, quality managers and buyers who need paging equipment to be tested against a defined EMC framework. It is relevant for ERMES, on-site paging and wide-area paging systems, including receivers, transmitters, transceivers and associated ancillary equipment.

What changed in SIST EN 301 489-2 V1.3.1:2003 from the previous edition?

SIST EN 301 489-2 V1.3.1:2003 replaces ETSI EN 301 489-2 V1.2.1 (August 2000).

Which standards are used with SIST EN 301 489-2 V1.3.1:2003?

SIST EN 301 489-2 V1.3.1:2003 is used with ETSI EN 301 489-1, which provides the common technical requirements, general EMC framework, and the baseline emission and immunity tables that this part modifies for paging equipment.

What does the SIST EN 301 489-2 V1.3.1:2003 document contain?

The document contains the paging-specific EMC test conditions in Clause 4, performance assessment methods in Clause 5, performance criteria in Clause 6, and an applicability overview in Clause 7. It also includes a special immunity test table in Clause 7.2.2 that identifies the spot frequencies used for additional testing.

Annex A gives informative examples of the paging equipment covered, grouped into ERMES paging equipment, on-site paging equipment and wide-area paging equipment. Annex B lists background references for related paging system specifications.

The structure is practical for testing work: it tells a laboratory how to set up the equipment, what signal conditions to use, what to watch for during exposure, and how to decide whether the equipment remains operational after the test.

4 Test conditions
For the purposes of the present document, the test conditions of the EN 301 489-1 [1], clause 4, shall apply as
appropriate. Further product related test conditions for paging equipment are specified in the present document.
4.1 General
For emission and immunity tests the test modulation, test arrangements, etc., as specified in the present document,
clauses 4.1.1 to 4.5, shall apply.
4.1.1 Receivers
Whenever a receiver is provided with a detachable antenna, the EUT shall be tested with the antenna fitted in a manner
typical of normal intended use.
The individual immunity tests shall be performed with the receiver in the standby mode.
Mobile or pocket receivers:
- before the individual tests the receiver shall be set into the standby mode, a communications link shall be
established and the message memory of the receiver shall be loaded with recognizable messages, if applicable
(performance check);
- during the individual tests the wanted RF input signal shall not be applied to the receiver, except for the spot
frequency test as part of the radio frequency electromagnetic field immunity test.
- after the individual tests and the termination of the required performance assessment (e.g. by means of the
stored messages in the message memory of the receiver, see clauses 6.3 and 6.4) the communications link shall
be re-established and another performance check shall be carried out to verify that the EUT is still operational.
Base receivers:
