7 Auxiliary equipment

This section describes the used auxiliary equipment and refers to hardware, software and instructions for

conducting RF testing and is addressed to inspection engineers. It is not part of the ordinary user manual

bundled with the product, but describes the test jig. It provide the necessary information together with the

sample(s) to ensure that the required RF testing can be conducted.

The test equipment (test jigs) containing the device under test but also the necessary ancillary and auxiliary

equipment and the accessories have an own set of accompanying documents that is part of the delivery or

is provided electronically to the test house. The setup of the test jigs is done in a manner that that testing

can be done effectively. So modifications or a reduced degree of protection is acceptable.

Danger!

Please note that some of the components including the wiring of the test jigs need additional means of

protection or are designed to be operated in an electrical cabinet to have safe (galvanic) electrical separa-

tion from mains. Same for possible thermal or mechanical hazards. So installing, handling, operating and

disassembling of these components for the testing as stand alone or in combination must only be carried

out by qualified technicians.
