3.13.2 Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

The TMR system

is designed and tested to be resistant to usual levels of conducted

and radiated electromagnetic interference and electrostatic discharge. The levels of
electrical environmental noise depend on the design of the equipment installation,
wiring, other installed equipment, and how near it is to the TMR

equipment.

You must make sure that the TMR system complies with the client’s requirements and
with applicable national or regional standards:

• For installations in the European Economic Area, the CE mark requirements for

EMC are a legal minimum for electromagnetic emissions.

• For installations in other locations, you must try to find out if the local

electromagnetic interference (EMI) levels are higher than those shown in Table
10.

3.13.3 Physical Installation Design

3.13.3.1 Enclosure

The Trusted

TM

T8100 controller chassis must be installed in an EMC-rated enclosure.

The Trusted

TM

system makes high levels of radiated emissions and it will get EMC

emissions compliance only when care is taken to make sure that none of these signals
leak out of the enclosure.

If the side panels of the enclosure are removed, or the doors are opened (for example,
during maintenance work), the immunity of the controller chassis to EMC interference
is unchanged, but the emissions radiated from the installation to its environment will be
higher.

IMPORTANT: The side panels of the enclosure must be installed and the doors must
be kept closed to let the system comply with the usual EMC environmental constraints
for emissions.

If the expected EMI levels are higher than those shown in Table 10, you must apply
applicable protection measures.
