4.8 Electromagnetic Compatibility
The European Council Directive 89/336/EEC requires that electronic equipment does not
generate electromagnetic disturbances that exceed defined levels and has an adequate level of
immunity to enable it to be operated as intended. The specific standards applicable to this
product are detailed in the appendices.
Since there are many electrical products in use that pre-date this Directive and may emit
electromagnetic radiation in excess of the standards defined in the Directive there may be
occasions where it would be appropriate to check the analyser prior to use.
The following procedure should be adopted:
Go through the normal start up sequence in the location where the equipment is to be
used.
Switch on all localised electrical equipment that might be capable of causing
interference.
Check that all readings are as expected. (A level of disturbance in the readings is
acceptable). If not adjust the position of the instrument to minimise interference or
switch off, if possible, the offending equipment for the duration of the test.
N.B. Maximum cable lengths must be less than 3 metres.
At the time of writing this manual (November 2005) Kane International Ltd is not aware of
any field based situation where such interference has ever occurred and this advice is only
given to satisfy the requirements of the Directive.
