| Description The Model 431 Shielded Bag Test System is designed to perform both the EIA-541 and the ESD S11.31 tests when used in conjunction with the appropriate user supplied oscilloscope and computer. The System provides the correct discharge pulse and the resulting attenuated voltage output for direct connection to a 2 channel oscilloscope for the EIA-541 test, or current pulse for the ESD S11.31 test. The Model 431 consists of a variable 800 to 1200 Volt power supply, 100 pf/1500 Ohm HBM network (200 pf/1500 Ohm for EIA-541), mercury wetted charge/discharge relay, capacitive sensor and a controlled force discharge electrode. Adjustable bag insertion stops enable the user to configure the System for different bag sizes per specification. A Tektronix CT-1 current sensor with 500 Ohm resistor, and built-in 100:1 voltage attenuators are standard for interfacing the System with an appropriate user supplied oscilloscope. (50 MHz, 100 MS/s for EIA-541; 200 MHz, 1 GS/s with computer interface for ESD S11.31.) A31/2-digit LCD readout displays the discharge voltage. Multicolored LED point sources indicate CHARGE, DISCHARGE and TEST OVER functions. The FUNCTION switch is used to select either a voltage differential (EIA-541) or a current pulse (ESD S11.31) measurement. The discharge is initiated by either a front panel discharge switch or by a foot operated switch which is convenient when testing in a humidity chamber. A computer interface is also provided to enable the discharge sequence |
