When relocating any chamber: mark all panels accordingly and make sure you assemble them in the place as they were mounted originally !
- If the original chmaber was placed on a flattened surface, make sure that the new location is equally flat. This is true for the opposite too, but difficult to realize ;<)) - Never move a chamber that was placed on an uneven surface ! - Be ware of any humidity in the soil Gert Gremmen ce-test, qualified testing -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of Darrell Locke Sent: dinsdag 17 september 2002 19:15 To: [email protected] Cc: Jim Tsadilas Subject: RE: EMC Chamber Relocation Rich, Great info that is very timely for me as I am looking purchasing and relocating a used chamber. Any other tips on what to look for (i.e. corroded joints) from group members would be very helpful.

Some of your panels could be accidentally damaged during the move. We had some panels starting to separate due to moisture. Most were salvageable, however. Also, we found some corroded parts that needs to be replaced. We buffed up some panels and some frame members and reused them since we did not need more than 80 db isolation from our chamber which is about what we got afterwards. If you need more issolation, plan on replacing the corroded parts. We moved the chamber for about $4K. Now for the disaster story. We moved a compact immumity chamber. We contracted through a familiar company from whom we purchased the chamber and test equipment - a turn key installation. That company contacted the move to the chamber manufacturer. The move went well, but the recallibration did not. It is now 6 months later and the chamber is still out of calibration with all three parties squabling. I don't recommend going this route.

Can you: * Recommend a company that is proficient at this and will work in the Bay Area ( San Jose / San Francisco CA) * Give estimated costs * Share things to watch out for * Things you would do different the next time. * Give your experiences/opinion on Relocating chambers vs. Building a new one Thanks, Jeffrey Collins Sr. HW Engineering Manager EMC/ NEBS/ Reliability/ Safety CIENA Core Switching Division 10480 Ridgeview Court, Cupertino, CA. 95014 (408) 366-4806, Fax (408) 366-4867 [email protected] http://www.ciena.com ------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE EMC Society Product Safety Technical Committee emc-pstc discussion list.
