Colleagues, My (formerly) preferred vendor of Intel based personal computer systems, used for CISPR-11/22 and immunity testing of our boards and peripherals, are lately having emissions up to the Class A limit fresh out of the box - without any peripherals attached. So I must query the List Members for experience-based suggestions for make and model of a passing system that I can buy here in the USA.
I need Pentium II equivalent PCI/ISA systems that pass Class A with at least 4 dB of margin and endure EN 50082-1:1992 testing on a weekly basis for most of a year. Systems that can pass EN 50082-1:1998 (or EN 61326-1:1998) would be nice but I suspect few, if any, are available. We buy about 4 new machines each year as they wear out. Please don't suggest that I complain to the PC vendor since I really don't have time to spend on the matter. I've already traded our newest PC to another department that doesn't care about EMC in exchange for an older compliant PC. I just need a long-term solution. Most importantly, please send your recommendations direct to me to minimize clutter on the list. Unless you specify not to, I'll post a summary of all comments to the list since I believe others are equally interested in the results. Regards and Thanks In Advance, Eric Lifsey Compliance Engineer/Manager National Instruments --------- This message is coming from the emc-pstc discussion list.
