Fluke 1529 Chub-E4 - Manual (Page 148)

The instrument was designed specifically as a test and measuring device. Com-
pliance to the EMC directive is through IEC 61326-1 Electrical equipment for
measurement, control and laboratory use – EMC requirements (1998).
As noted in the IEC 61326-1, the instrument can have varying configurations.
The instrument was tested in a typical configuration with shielded, grounded
probe and RS-232 cables. Emissions may, in non-typical applications, exceed
the levels required by the standard. It is not practical to test all configurations,
as the manufacturer has no control over the probes the user may connect to the
instrument.
11.4.1.1 Immunity Testing
The instrument was tested to the requirements for industrial locations. This al-
lows the instrument to be used in all types of locations from the laboratory to
the factory floor. Criterion B was used for Radiated RF (IEC 61000-4-3) and
Conducted RF (IEC 61000-4-6). Therefore, the operation of the instrument
may be affected by excessive electromagnetic interference and the instrument
may not perform within the normal specification limits in such an environment.
Criterion C was used for Electrostatic Discharge (ESD, IEC 61000-4-2) and
Electric Fast Transit (EFT, Burst, IEC 61000-4-4). If the instrument is sub-
jected to EFT conditions at 2kV, the instrument may require the user to cycle
the power to return to normal operation.
11.4.1.2 Emission Testing
The instrument fulfills the limit requirements for Class A equipment but does
not fulfill the limit requirements for Class B equipment. The instrument was
not designed to be used in domestic establishments.
11.4.2 Low Voltage Directive (Safety)
In order to comply with the European Low Voltage Directive (73/23/EEC),
Hart Scientific equipment has been designed to meet the IEC 1010-1 (EN
61010-1) and the IEC 1010-2-010 (EN 61010-2-010) standards.
11.5 Frequently Asked Questions
11.5.1 Battery
1. What type of batteries does the Model 1529 use? The Model 1529 uses a
built-in Nickel-Metal-Hydride battery pack.
2. How long do I need to charge the battery initially? The batteries come
fully charged. If for some reason they are not fully charged, the front
panel indicator shows this and you can recharge them as needed.
3. How long does the battery take to fully charge? About 3 hours from
fully discharged.
