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 (March 2006) 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.
