1. Usage
Measurement under interference conditions
Measurement of analogue electrical signals under extreme electromagnetic stress such as:
Coupling of radiated or conducted RF emissions
Fast transients burst / ESD
High potential (high voltage)
Measured signals:
Supply voltages (switching controllers, linear controllers),
Reference voltages,
Digital signals (optical couplers, optical receivers),
Analogue signals (operational amplifiers, ADC, DAC).
The A100 / A200 / A300 optical fibre measurement systems meet these demands.
The A100 / A200 / A300 measurement systems are ideal for these conditions because of their high
disturbance immunity.

Figure 2: The demodulated 1 kHz disturbance signal, superimposed on the useful signal, shows a large
harmonic component.

2. Function
2.1. Method of measurement
An RF-immune probe (AS XXX optical fibre probe), of which the A/D (analogue-to-digital) converter
is an integral part, is autonomously operated in the EUT without interfering with the EUT's EMC
conditions.
The only connection between the AS XXX probe and the EUT is an optical fibre that sends the
measured values, which are continuously generated by the ADC as a serial data flow, to an optical
receiver.
A D/A (digital-to-analog) converter (DAC) converts the digital sampling values back into an
analogue signal that can be evaluated by an oscilloscope.
AS 100 50 / 10 VDC
AS 110 10 / 1 VDC
AS 120 1 / 0.1 VAC
AS 200 50 / 10 VDC
AS 300 ±10 VDC
In the AS 120 optical fibre probe a capacitive coupled amplifier is integrated with a low cut-off
frequency of about 300 Hz.
The sensor is protected against polarity reversal.
Operational amplifiers are connected to the DAC output to filter and adjust the control ranges.

3. Operation
3.1. Connection of the probe (example AS 100) to the EUT
Attention: Only connect and disconnect an AS XXX sensor when it is not subjected to any
interference.
The connector between the optical fibre probe and the EUT has to be extremely short to ensure
satisfactory measurements of burst and ESD under radiated RF interference conditions. Common
prods and clips are too big.
The optical fibre probe has to be connected to the circuit board or IC via a socket to ensure the
requisite small-scale set-up. Because the socket, rather than the probe itself, is soldered to the
pins or lines, the measuring point can be quickly changed by plugging the probe into other sockets.
To ensure the socket doesn’t move, glue it to the circuit board or IC of the EUT. Connect the
socket to the EUT via a CuL wire according to the sensor's pin assignment.
Power is supplied via the EUT or a battery.
Basic rule: The closer the sensor (with its housing and GND connection) is positioned to the GND
system of the EUT, the higher its disturbance immunity will be and the fewer disturbances will
occur.

above GND
The oscilloscope must show an output voltage and/or signal form that corresponds to that
applied to the sensor input.

4. Safety instructions
When using a product from Langer EMV-Technik GmbH, please observe the following safety
instructions to protect yourself from electric shock or the risk of injuries.
Read and follow the instructions in the user manual and keep it in a safe place for later reference.
The device may only be used by personnel who are qualified in the field of EMC and who are fit to
work with and possibly be influenced by disturbance voltages and (electric and magnetic) burst
fields.
Read the operating and safety instructions for all devices used in the set-up.
Never use any damaged or defective devices.
Carry out a visual check before using a measurement set-up with a Langer EMV-Technik GmbH
product. Replace any damaged connecting cables before using the product.
Never leave a product from Langer EMV-Technik GmbH unattended whilst it is in operation.
The Langer EMV-Technik GmbH product may only be used for its intended purpose. Any other
use is forbidden.
People with a pacemaker are not allowed to work with this device.
The test set-up should always be operated via a filtered power supply.
Attention! Functional near fields and interference emissions may occur when the probe is
operated. The user is responsible for taking appropriate precautions to prevent any inter-
ference with the correct function of products outside the operational EMC environment (in
particular through interference emissions. This can be achieved by:
The disturbances that are injected into the modules can destroy the device under test (latch-up) if
their intensity is too high. Protect the device under test by:
- increasing the disturbance gradually and stopping when a functional fault occurs
- interrupting the power supply to the device under test in the event of a latch-up.
Attention! Make sure that internal functional faults are visible from outside. The device
under test may be destroyed due to an increase in the injection intensity if the faults are not
visible from outside. Take the following precautions if necessary:
We cannot assume any liability for the destruction of devices under test!

5. Warranty
Langer EMV-Technik GmbH will remedy any fault due to defective material or defective manufac-
ture, either by repair or by delivery of spare parts, during the statutory warranty period.
- the information and instructions in the user manual have been followed.
