What are the CE EMC testing standards for sensors?

A sensor is a detection device, a tool for acquiring information, or a machine that transmits sensations. In its broadest definition, a sensor is a device, module, or subsystem commonly used in automatic control and measurement systems.

Introduction to Sensors

A sensor can be defined as a device or instrument capable of converting a measured physical quantity (such as speed, temperature, sound, light, etc.) into another physical quantity (usually electrical) that is easier to transmit and process. Commonly referred to as a probe, a sensor may also be known as a transducer, converter, transmitter, or detector.

EMC Testing Items for Sensors:

- Conducted Emission

- Radiated Emission

- Flicker

- Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)

- Radiated Immunity (RS)

- Electrical Fast Transients (EFT)

- Surge

- Conducted Immunity (CS)

- Power Frequency Magnetic Field (M/S)
