Criteria for Immunity
5. Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
Test
Requirement(s):
EN 61000-4-2: 1999 Test Engineer(s): Frank Farrone
Test Results: Pass Test Date(s): 02/08/2012
Test Procedures:
An ESD Immunity test was performed using the mode of operation and configuration noted within this
report. The EUT was tested using air and contact discharges. The specified number of air discharges
was applied to each of the non-conductive surfaces of the EUT as listed in the test data below. The
specified number of contact discharges was applied to each of the conductive surfaces, seams, and
control surfaces of the EUT as listed in the test data. If a response is detected after discharge; the type
of response, discharge level and location are noted. Testing was conducted with the EUT fully cabled.
Discharges were made to the connector shells, not to the individual conductors.
The Standard relates to immunity requirements and test methods for electrical and electronic equipment
subjected to static electricity discharges from operators directly and to adjacent objects. It also defines
ranges of test levels that relate to different environmental and installation conditions and establishes
test procedures. The object of the Standard is to establish a common and reproducible basis for
evaluating the performance of electrical and electronic equipment subjected to electrostatic discharges.
In addition, it includes electrostatic discharges that may occur from personnel to objects near vital
equipment. The standard also relates to equipment, systems, sub-systems, and peripherals that may be
involved in static electricity discharges due to environmental and installation conditions, such as low
relative humidity, use of low-conductivity (artificial-fiber) carpets, vinyl garments, etc., that may exist in
all locations classified in standards relevant to electrical and electronic equipment
