Re: [PSES] CE Marking Provoquim
Hello John et al, The English language while blasted by many as difficult, is a marvel in itself. I did not need to look up the invented word Provoquim or Provoquium in any dictionary. It's meaning was obvious at first glance. Very clever of you, John Pearson! What do you think of my invention: emailversation ?? Is its meaning obvious at first glance. I think so. Again, you can blame the English language for that - or just enjoy the invention. While some have mentioned the commercial aspects of safety compliance, I've always referred to them as the product safety Laws of Economics. Try marketing your electrical product to a major retailer in the U.S. without safety certifications; it is mandated by J.C. Penney, K-Mart, Walmart, Target, Sears, QVC, etc., etc., etc. Many of them even have their own test labs to verify the safety of the electrical products they procure and ultimately market to consumers. In the U.S. insurers of industrial/commercial sites also require electrical safety certification of products utilized in those industrial/commercial sites. In my own experience of 30+ years of electrical safety compliance, IBM (and other bigs) will not even evaluate an alternate manufacturer's power supply, until it bears valid electrical safety cert's. The Law of Economics is loud and clear; it mandates electical product safety compliance for the buyer's offerings. Best regards, Art Michael A.E.

Re: [PSES] Wireless Telephone and Wireless Internet Clash
HI Scott, We had to move a 2.4 GHz cordless phone away from a nearby router and that solved a plethora of problems in our home. We then replaced that phone with a 900 MHz cordless oldie-but-goodie phone and the problems did not reappear. Good Luck, Art == On Thu, 23 Feb 2012, Scott Douglas wrote: Hello All, We have a situation in our house. Two years ago our cable system went Chapter 7. So we signed up with an ISP that provides a wireless Internet connection. Radio and antenna are 40 feet up in the big tree out front of the house and operates at 915 MHz. The radio is connected to our router (in the basement wiring cabinet) via shielded CAT-5. The house is wired with CAT-5 in every room and all terminate at the wiring cabinet. The external power supply feeding power to the radio (POE) is located in the basement wiring cabinet right next to the routers EPS. We regularly have Internet problems, losing connection, extremely slow transfer rates, etc. It seems particularly bad between 6 and 10 pm (usually a few hours in that block of time). It is pretty consistent (almost daily). Our ISP pings every radio in the system every 15 seconds and plots the return time. Normally we run in the 10 to 20 msec range. But when it goes bad, ping times can exceed 3-5 SECONDS! Or sometimes it just cannot talk at all. Our radio power levels are always quite strong (-59 to -63 dBm), even when we cannot ping or pass data. The ISP compares my return response to another radio less than a mile away from me. Theirs is always rock steady, nary a ping over 30 msec. He showed me plots of both radio power levels and ping response times and it is very clear to me that my system is falling down a lot, to the point of not even being able to use it. The router is only a year old, the laptop is only 3 months old. We had these same problems with the old router and the old desktop too. The mains wiring is all less than 10 years old and mechanically screwed down rather than stripped and poked into the outlet, etc. I even went around to check connections and tightened some loose screws in the old part of the house two years ago. When I wired the house, I took extra care to keep good routing and separation of AC, CAT-5, and RF. All network and RF connectors are good quality and poor crimp connections were not tolerated. Everything is tight and in good order. The ISP says it is not the radio, but somehow the data is getting hosed before it can be modulated onto the carrier. He thinks it is something in my house causing the problem. He said he has seen problems before with wireless telephones, Blackberry's, motion detectors, and some other things. We do have a 900 MHz wireless telephone that is 5-7 years old. After my most recent conversation with the ISP, I decided to disconnect the 900 MHz wireless phone. I had not told the ISP and tonight he emailed me and asked what we had done. He said the system graphs had improved dramatically. Next week we are going to plug the phone back in and see if the problem repeats. My question(s) to the list are how do you explain this? Is it radiated as in two radios beating against each other or your more normal radiated EMI getting in the system hardware? Is it conducted on the mains or the network wiring? Where is the ingress occurring? Can the phone make enough EMI to trash the data getting into the radio? I will also be looking for a solution (besides trashing the phone). I have my ideas and opinions but will hold those for now. As always, I will be looking forward to the interesting comments, ideas, and solutions that come from you all.

Hello David, With respect to U.S. requirements; You may be hard put to find a suitable MIL connector with a NRTL approval - which is generally required on components connected to primary wiring.

Michael, Editor, Int'l Product Safety News* The working document LVD Update.4 details proposals which have been in development since 2001 for updating of the Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC (LVD). There are significant changes proposed and we draw your attention to the following: Re Voltage Range: ... for use with a supply or output voltage not exceeding 1000 Volt for alternating current and 1500 Volt for direct current . The minimum voltages, previously designated as 50V AC 75V DC are noticeably absent in the proposal. Therefore, the lower end of the range is proposed to be 0V AC or DC. Re Components: The directive shall not apply to the following equipment: Basic components intended to be incorporated into electrical equipment whose compliance with the essential requirements of this Directive cannot be assessed independently. The original LVD called for equipment to be safe - and then is fairly quiet on what safe entails. The proposed directive, in Annex I (titled, Essential health and safety requirements) provides a long list of required 'protections'. Under the topic of Electric Shock and other electrical hazards it lists: Leakage Current, Energy Supply, ESD, Arcs and these must all take into account electrical, mechanical, chemical and physical stresses. Additional hazards that the user must be protected from include Fire Hazards, Mechanical Hazards, Other Hazards (including explosions caused by the product itself or by substances produced, emitted or used by the equipment); this section lists an additional 12 subdivisions of hazards. Annex I also calls for protection again hazards arising from incorrect functioning, hazards arising from electric, magnetic and electromagnetic fields, other ionizing and non-ionizing radiation. Ergonomic compliance is also a requirement of this proposal. The proposal provides a detailed listing of Information Requirements which covers elements such as identification of the equipment by means such as type, batch, serial number or similar. It also requires instructions, identification of the manufacturer, and the name of the responsible person in the EC if the manufacturer is not established in the EC. The proposal calls for instructions for safe installation, maintenance, cleaning, operation, storage and warnings where potential risks are not evident. There is much more of interest in this proposal that we cannot address due to space considerations. The latest iteration of the full report, titled, LVD Update.4 is now available on the Europa site, we located a copy at: europa.eu.int/comm/enterprise/electr_equipment/lv/direct/lvdupdate4.pdf And, a report commissioned by the UK's Dept. of Trade and Industry, titled, Limited Regulatory Impact Assessment on the revised limits for the Low Voltage Directive, dated APR 2002, can be found at: www.com-met2005.org.uk/events_lit/newsletters/DTI_LVD_Report.pdf Reprinted with permission of Int'l Product Safety News, Vol 16, No, 5 Sept/Oct 2003.

On the Europa website I read an LVD Working Document, dated 7/13/01, that there were two proposals: 1. Delete the lower limit and introduce risk assessment similar to the Machinery Directive 2. Leave the limits as is but add an annex to include certain low voltage products, lighting system, household appliances, TV/Radio etc I found a Working Guide for the LVD dated 3/7/02 which showed that there are countries which favor one or the other proposal while the UK favored no change.. Does anyone have any new information or can point me in the direction which would give me a more recent an update of this proposal? I am very interested in where this proposal is heading..

Re: Need cheap hotel close to EMC show
Hi Charles, That's a tall order (request). My recommendations, look for hotels in Tewksbury (about 30 miles North and a bit West of Boston). There'e a plethora of hotels, suites,etc. and not a lot of business in those surroundings these days. It's accessible by I-93 and between Lowell and Andover. Another clutch of hotels can be found in and around Woburn near junction of I-95 and State RT 3. Another place to look is in Marlborough MA, near Junction of I-495 and State RT 20 where you will find close to half a dozen hotels. This is also 25-30 miles outside (West) of Boston.

I've gone through manufacturer's catalogs, searched the Internet, and looked through some 15 bookcases of electronics and metal-working books in my personal collection without finding a definitive answer as to which metric wire gages are currently used worldwide.

I also plan to put the wire gage information on dBi's web site, to make it readily available so that I can get comments and corrections via the Internet.
