Source of Signals
CRS+
The CRS+ is a stable and calibrated source of signals which cover the 9KHz - 30MHz frequency range. The fundamental signal is a 15KHz comb and each harmonic is output as a narrowband peak of known amplitude. This signal is output on either the L and N lines, referenced to ground. A switch provides on/off and line selection.

3GHz EMC emissions Analyser
SA3000
The SA3000 is a powerful, fully featured, EMC analyser. It will measure both conducted and radiated emissions according to the international EMC standards. It enables the user to assess the EMC compliance of products quickly and with good integrity.

Ancillaries.. Conducted
The ease and effectiveness of conducted emission measurements can be enhanced by the use of appropriate filters. In particular, broadband noise below the frequencies of interest can cause limiting (compression) in spectrum analysers, distorting the measurements.

Harmonics & Flicker Analyser
AC2000A
The Laplace Harmonics and Flicker analyser provides the user with a complete system for testing product compliance with IEC61000-3-2 and IEC61000-3-3. Quick and easy to use, the built-in screen provides a clear pass/fail indication of compliance status, plus a full listing of results for each harmonic, in either tabular of bargraph format. The instrument is properly configured to cope with fluctuating harmonics. The Flicker mode provides proper measurement of short term and long term parameters, using algorithms specified in IEC61000-4-15. In addition, inrush current measurements can be automated such that the product under test can be automatically cycled on/off with user entered time profiles.

1GHz EMC Emissions Analyser
SA1002
The SA1002 provides a high performance capability to measure the EMC compliance of your products. It covers the conducted emission and radiated emission bands to 1GHz, as required by most EMC standards. The included software is Windows compatible and simple to use. This powerful system automatically sets the analyser parameters to suit the test to be performed. Standard limits are available from simple pull-down menu. Results can be directly compared against these limits for easy checks on compliance status.

Test Cells (
LaplaCell
LaplaCells provide a facility for the rapid and efficient testing of the EMC compliance of products. These cells offer a calibrated and screened environment in which radiated emissions can be measured and immunity to RF radiation can be tested. They \re calibrated according to the methodology of IEC61000-4-20, thus affording compliant testing to IEC61000-4-3 and pre-compliance testing for radiated emission testing.

RF Synthesiser
The Laplace Synthesisers cover both conducted and radiated RF immunity test requirements. The frequency coverage extends from 100KHz to 230MHz for conducted tests and 30MHz - 6GHz for radiated tests. They are all controlled from the users PC via a USB link, and powerful Windows software is included to enable the user to control all the parameters of the test, to monitor the test in progress, and to view the results.

Ancillaries - Radiated
EMC emissions can be at very low signal levels and pre-amplifiers can help to improve S/N ratio. The low level of emission signals can make them difficult to identify in noisy environments. RF filters are designed to attenuate the major sources of noise, thus making the task of measurement easier.

Ultra-Compact Immunity Tester
AXOS8
The AXOS8 is an ultra-compact immunity tester that performs all the most commonly used transient immunity tests, including Surge, EFT, Dips/Interrupts and AC/Surge Magnetic Field. The simplified user interface provides quick selection of tests and test levels, and even lets you change test parameters “on the fly” while running a test.The actual EUT power mains voltage and current are indicated in the display. Using the Electronic-Fuse function, the user can set an upper limit for EUT power mains current. This feature is useful to protect the EUT from unnecessary damage.Whether you test to the IEC 61000 series “CE Mark” standards, the IEC 60601 Medical Device standards, or any number of telecom and product specific standards, the AXOS8 tester is your one stop test station for everything from precompliance to full compliance to product development testing.A wide range of cost-efficient Coupling / Decoupling Networks for symmetrical and asymmetrical data- and signal-lines is available as an option.

LISN & Voltage Probes
All commercial LISNs include an artificial hand connection and a transient limiter. This adds a 30dB insertion loss. A 30dB pre-amplifier is included which can be connected in the RF output feed to return the insertion loss to 0dB. The Voltage Probe requirement is covered by our PLIP (Power LIne Interference Probe). This fully meets the requirements of CISPR16, but has additional features:*Fully galvanic isolation between input and output (>1kV), for the safety of operator and analyser!*Shrouded safety clips for attachment to the line to be measured.*Filtered frequency response matched to Band A and B.*Current limiting on the output.*Visual indication of high voltage input.

Pre-Selectors for EMC test
These Pre-Selectors are high specification, switched band filters which track the scanning of the EMC Analyser. Control is via USB link from the Laplace EMCEngineer software supplied with SA1002 and SA3000 analysers. Installation and operation is completely automatic, and the filters will synchronise with the analyser scan without any operator intervention. A front panel switch allows manual operation if required.
