For some time, we have been trying to locate a facility on the North American continent with a dust chamber capable of conducting the dust test for an IP5X or IP6X rating on a product measuring approx. 72 inches (1.8 m) high by 28 inches (0.7 m) deep by 36 inches (0.9 m) wide, in accordance with

Tom, There is a TUV America facility near Minneapolis- St. Paul (New Brighton, Minnesota) that has a lot of HIRF capability. They use a Parabolic Dish to focus the beam. But as you stated the small antenna beam width issue will be a problem if you have a big piece of equipment.

I am looking for a HIRF test facility that can handle 3000 V/m from 2 to 12 GHz. I have to test from 10 kHz to 40 GHz but at lower levels. I have a fairly large system for testing so I am leaning towards a reverb chamber to get around small antenna beam width issues. Any leads for a test house,

Gert The non-portable ESD Tester made by Watahanie or Noiseken goes up to 30 KV. It has an easy menu to use and you should be shocking yourself inside of thirty seconds ;). It doesnt switch polarities automatically like the Schaffners (model 435?) For the money at the time it was comparable to

If I remember correctly the commands in HP Basic for Local or Remote mode are LOCAL and REMOTE. Also there are some slight variations between the 856x analyzers and the 859x analyzers. Your best bet is to look for the programming commands from Agilents web site. They can be difficult to find,
