Benefits

 The esd NX30 electrostatic discharge simulator is an easy-to-use tester. It consists of a power supply unit and the discharge gun, operated from the discharge gun. It generates electrostatic discharges up to 30 kV in both air and contact discharge mode. The discharge tips can easily be changed. The discharge networks can be easily changed as they are plugged into the discharge gun. The actual discharge network in use is recognised by the controls and indicated in the display.

The esd NX30 is either mains supplied or supplied by a DC source. Even battery powered operation is possible. Battery operation becomes relevant for testing e.g. as per DC-11224 or VW TL 824 66, ESD Operating Test, where the ground of the ESD generator is connected to the Field Coupling Plane and the Horizontal Coupling plane but not directly to the Reference Ground Plane. Additionally, a fiber optic link is offered as an option to communicate with the esd NX30 separating the sensitive computer from the test set-up and to avoid ground loops.

Software

esd.control - More than a remote control and documentation software

esd.control goes far beyond being just a remote control and documentation software. It is your ESD Test Manager from A to Z. It covers the preparation of the test (definition of the test plan, including all test points and the generation of test notes), test routine programming, collection of test data and full documentation of every step. esd.control is the state-of-the-art software tool for ESD testing.

 

An optional fiber optic link is offered to communicate with the esd NX30 separating the sensitive computer from the test set-up and to avoid ground loops.

Other Models

The ESD Simulator Series

The EM TEST ESD simulator series also includes the dito. dito is a battery powered ESD tester based on the latest technology and with outstanding performance. Complemented by its esd.control software both esd NX30 and dito become a real ESD test system supporting the user from planning the test until full documentation of the test results.

Accessories

Calibration target set CTR 2 for waveform verification as per EN/IEC 61000-4-2

The CTR 2 calibration target and its accessories like 20 dB attenuator and coaxial cable forms the set to verify the ESD waveform as requested by the standard EN/IEC 61000-4-2. The 2ohm target is built following the specification of the standard.
By means of the 50ohm adapter line CTR 2-AD the performance of the CTR 2 can be verified using a spectrum analyser.

Accessories to set-up a complete ESD test area

To set-up an ESD test area accessories like vertical coupling plane (VCP) and grounding set (EAS 30) are offered.
