TS-CS114-CS115-CS116 TurnKey Test System for MIL-STD-461 Options of CS106, CS101, CS109, RS101 + Relivent DO-160 tests

Introducing the CS114 / CS115 / CS116 Test System by Absolute EMC – a comprehensive solution engineered to meet the rigorous requirements of MIL-STD 461 D/E/F/G standards. This versatile test system is designed to verify the transient conducted susceptibility of Equipment Under Test (EUT) across various frequencies and excitation methods, ensuring the reliability and resilience of your naval and industrial electronic systems.

The CS116 damped sinusoidal pulse generator provides up to 17 test frequencies (instead of the minimal 6 frequencies required by the standard). This allows a better excitation of the resonances of the equipment under test.

Key Features

Comprehensive MIL-STD Compliance:
- CS114: Conducted susceptibility, bulk cable injection, 4 / 10 kHz to 400 MHz.
- CS115: Conducted susceptibility, bulk cable injection, impulse excitation.
- CS116: Conducted susceptibility, damped sinusoidal transients, cables and power leads, 10 kHz to 100 MHz.
Flexible Frequency Configurations:
- CS114 Setup: 4 / 10 kHz – 400 MHz.
- CS115 Generator: 0 to 1 kV (on 50 ohm), Trise ≤ 2 ns, pulse duration ≥ 30 ns, Tfall ≤ 2 ns.
- CS116 Generator:
  - Standard: 6 test frequencies.
  - Optional: 9 or 17 test frequencies for enhanced resonance excitation.
Efficient Testing Process:

  - 19" Cabinet Version: 1600 x 600 x 800 mm, weight approximately 170 kg.
  - Rack Module: 630 x 485 x 405 mm (9HU), weight 17.0 kg.

The proposed system is unique in the market. It has been optimized to ease the test procedure, to reduce the risks of human errors, and to save testing time. Its unique features are:

One single signal output

The generator has one signal output for the CS115 square pulse, for all CS116 discrete test frequencies as well as for the CS114 signal received from the external amplifier. The calibration or the measurement phase can be performed without any need to change the cabling nor to exchange modules.

Menu-driven control panel

The menu-driven control panel allows the user to select the desired discrete frequency, the pulse voltage level, the repetition rate, and the number of pulses to be generated.

Remote controlled

The generator (like all generators from Montena) can be remote-controlled through its RS232 or USB interfaces. Montena proposes a dedicated software application for the automation of the tests.

Generation of calibration reports, NO need to record all calibration setting parameters

CS116 test frequencies (options to increase test frequency up to 17)

The MIL-STD-461 CS116 requires testing the susceptibility at 6 discrete frequencies between 10 kHz and 100 MHz. Montena's CS116 generator optionally provides additional frequencies to:

CS114 test setup

Measurement with oscilloscope and FFT

The test setup comprises a digital oscilloscope for the measurement of the injected signal. For the CW signal of the CS114 test, the control software reads the measured signals and performs the FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) to extract the injected signal frequency from the ambient noise. The use of the FFT allows much better sensitivity than competitive solutions using power meters or measuring the peak signal voltage with an oscilloscope.

SMARTImmun automation software

The CS114 test setup is supplied with the new SMARTIMMUN control software.

Optional CS114 extension for ships and submarines testing

This extension enables tests starting from 4 kHz instead of 10 kHz, to cover the new MIL-STD-461 F/G CS114 common mode injection requirement of 77 dBmA that is applicable from 4 kHz to 1 MHz on complete power cables.

Prâna amplifier proposed in the basis offer is specified from 10 kHz but, when combined with Prâna 4kHz adaptor module and Prâna injection probe, it delivers enough current from 4 kHz without saturation. This cost-effective solution eliminates the need of a second amplifier for CS114 tests below 10 kHz.

This test uses the waveform generator (0.1 Hz - 25 MHz) that is embedded in the proposed oscilloscope

CS106

The POG-CS116 pulse generator optionally comprises an internal module to deliver the CS106 pulses. Due to the low-frequency content of the CS106 pulse, the injection is performed with a dedicated injection probe.

The measurement is made using the same oscilloscope for all CS106, CS114, CS115, and CS116 current injection tests.
