Specifications

Anritsu products comply with the immunity requirements defined by the European Immunity Standard
EN 61000-4-2:1995/EN50082-1:1997-4kV CD, 8kV AD for static discharge. This standard requires that
the products survive air discharge static levels of 8 kV, and direct contact discharge static levels of 4 kV.
The standard also states, "the static electricity discharges shall be applied only to such points and
surfaces of the equipment which are accessible to personnel during normal usage."
Anritsu, as well as most other manufacturers of VNA test equipment, interpret this standard to mean
immunity that excludes direct static discharge to the test port center conductor. To prevent direct contact
under normal usage, the test port connectors are designed with recessed center conductor pins. The
following warning is also affixed near the test ports:
Proper static prevention techniques should always be followed when operating this equipment. These
precautions will minimize the possibility of static-shock damage to the equipment.
1. Do not touch exposed contacts on
any static sensitive component.
2. Do not slide static sensitive
component across any surface.
3. Do not handle static sensitive
components in areas where the floor or
work surface covering is capable of
generating a static charge.
4. Wear a static-discharge wristband
when working with static sensitive
components.
5. Label all static sensitive devices. 6. Keep component leads shorted
together whenever possible.
