Features

Built for CISPR 32 / EN 55032 Conducted Emissions Verification

Conducted reference signal source for LISN-based test setups — verifies the entire conducted emissions measurement chain (LISN, cabling, transient limiter, EMI receiver) in minutes between formal calibrations.

Frequency Range: 50 kHz to 115 MHz

Covers the CISPR 16, CISPR 32 / EN 55032, and FCC Part 15 conducted emissions bands with margin above and below the 150 kHz to 30 MHz core range.

User-Selectable 50 kHz or 250 kHz Step Size

Choose 50 kHz for high-resolution baseline data near the lower band edge or 250 kHz for sparser, faster sweeps and easier identification of individual harmonics throughout the band.

Direct Plug-In to LISN EUT Power Port

Standard NEMA 15-P type connector plugs directly into the EUT power socket on the LISN; adapters allow connection to other socket types worldwide.

Simulates an EUT Generating Conducted Noise

Replicates the operating conditions of a real device, allowing verification of measurement accuracy under realistic load conditions for LISN impedance, transient limiter, and EMI receiver.

Quick LISN Verification Before High-Stakes Testing

Plug into each LISN EUT port and confirm baseline within 1 dB at multiple frequencies in minutes — catches LISN drift, cable failures, and connector corrosion immediately.

Battery Operation: 18+ Hours per Charge

Internal 6 V / 1 Ah NiMH battery eliminates external power leads that could couple noise into the conducted measurement. Charger output: 6 VDC (unregulated) at 500 mA.

Stable, Repeatable RF Output

50 ppm frequency stability, ±0.1 dB amplitude stability, and less than 1 dB time stability over 12 months — allows direct comparison of measurements taken months apart with confidence.

Compact Form Factor

5 × 2.2 × 2.2″ (13.2 × 5.9 × 5.9 cm), 1 lb (0.45 kg) — plug-and-go form factor that integrates with the LISN setup without occupying bench space.

External LED Indicators

Battery Low and Power On LEDs confirm operating status at a glance during routine verification — no need to interrupt a test session to verify the unit is active.

Useful for Production Component Evaluation

Broadband output is also useful for spot-checking cable shields, EMI filters, and ferrite suppressors without expensive VNA equipment.

NIST-Traceable Calibration

Calibration data and certificate ship with each unit. ISO 17025 accredited calibration is available on request for laboratories requiring full accreditation chain documentation.

Three-Year Standard Warranty

Three-year standard warranty backed by manufacturer support.
