Extract from customer’s literature: FLOCKMAN has been designed for the individual broiler grower to give similar benefits to the old more sophisticated product FLOCKMAN that is aimed primarily at the larger integrated broiler company. Although it controls lighting programs (with dawn/dusk dimming), whole cereal inclusion and automatic meal-time feeding for each day, it needs no computers nor automatic feed or bird weighers. Once started at the beginning if the crop, it needs no further input from the grower until after the house is empty, when it is stopped.

The display (LCD) cycles indicating Target Cereal Feed (15.0%) followed by actual feed (15.0 to 15.3%) then “Light off Pans On”, this repeated every 10 seconds. 2.4 EUT Test Configuration Mains EUT Mains HEMCS Breakout box Proximity Sensor Lamp 2.5 EUT Support Balluf Proximity Sensor, s/n EMC002 HEMCS light and breakout box, s/n EMC003 This report may not be reproduced other than in full Issue#1: 28th August 2007 Page 6 of 26 EMC TEST REPORT 07R297 CR 2.6 Environmental Test Conditions Temperature 23-24º Celsius Relative Humidity 42-50% Atmospheric Pressure 1000-1020 millibars 2.7 EMC Test Equipment #ID Manufacturer Type Serial Nø Description 003 006 013 030 050 066 066a 068 068a 092 117 118 120 125 145 147 158 166 235 241 Rohde Schwarz HP Chase KeyTek HP Voltech Voltech EM EM Schwarzbeck KeyTek KeyTek Kalmus Rohde Schwarz Bird Rohde Schwarz Rohde Schwarz Oregon Sci MEB Rohde Schwarz ESH-3 8568B CB/6121A MZ-15/EC 8447D PM3000A IEC 555 CWS500C ATT6/75 VULB 9163 EMC Pro Pro CCL 7250LC-CE SMHU 4421/4022 ESH3 Z5 ESH3Z2 BA-888 M3 ESVP 872994/027 2841A04350 1012 yel 9205380 1937A02341 7652 AM77/7652 1001-07 1001-11 232 (grey) 9711274 9711291 8672-1 828875/018 4624/0103 846695/011 357881052 13-214 879962/049 Test receiver 9kHz-30MHz Spectrum analyser Bilog ESD Minizap /pink Pre-amp 30-1000MHz Harmonics & flicker analyser Reference Z for 066 Conducted immunity simulator 6dB 75W attenuator 30-3000MHz Trilog antenna Immunity tester Capacitive clamp RF Power amp & pulse opt.

Using the data obtained from the chamber profile-scan as an engineering guide, the EUT was then transferred onto the turntable in the Open Area Test Site. The antenna was positioned at a distance of ten metres from the periphery of the EUT. Radiated emissions were then systematically maximised by revolving the EUT and adjusting the antenna in polarity and height. The highest emissions are presented here.

The measurements reported are the highest emissions relative to the CISPR 22 Class A limits and take into account the antenna and cable loss factors. Measurements made according to the CISPR 22 test standard and Hursley EMC Services test procedure RAD-01.

The AMN was bonded to a conductive ground plane. Line and neutral phases and each power supply were measured separately. A spectrum analyser was set to scan between 0.15MHz and 30MHz to record the peak emission profiles. The worst-case peaks were then measured using an average and/or quasi-peak receiver and compared to the CISPR 22 Class A limits. The worst-case results from both power supplies are shown here.

Measurements made according to the EN 61000-3-3 standard and Hursley EMC Services procedure FLK-01. For voltage changes caused by manual switching, the equipment is deemed to comply without further testing if the maximum RMS input current including inrush current is evaluated over each 10mS half-period between zero-crossings does not exceed 20 amps, and the supply current after inrush is within a variation band of 1.5 amps. Inrush current measurements were made in real time and the product state was altered and the load current unmonitored and the inrush was less than 20 amps and the variation was less than 1.4 amps therefore it complies without testing. TEST ENGINEER: Andy Jones This report may not be reproduced other than in full Issue#1: 28th August 2007 Page 13 of 26 EMC TEST REPORT 07R297 CR 4.0 IMMUNITY RESULTS 4.1 Performance Criteria General performance criteria for immunity testing are defined below:Criterion A During testing normal performance within the specification limits. Criterion B During testing, temporary degradation, or loss of function or performance which is self-recovering. Criterion C During testing, temporary degradation, or loss of function or performance that requires operator intervention or system reset occurs. Criterion D Degradation or loss of function, which is not recoverable due to damage to equipment, components, software, or to loss of data. The test standard (EN 61326:1997 / A1/A2/A3) requires the “manufacturer” to produce a ‘functional description and a definition of performance criteria’ applicable to these EMC tests. The customer has defined “Unacceptable performance criteria” as a deviation of more than +/-1% for the analogue resistor values and the reference value. Other failure conditions are determined by interpretation using the experience of the laboratory EMC engineers. Monitoring of EUT performance whilst under test Radiated immunity: Remote monitoring of the product in the anechoic chamber using a video camera focused on the EUT display and a fibre-optic linked video monitor situated in the control room. All other tests: Visual monitoring of the EUT display and light one zero volt contact to verify correct function and status.
