The Schlöder CDG 7000 is a compact conducted-disturbance test system for RF conducted immunity testing, magnetic-field-related immunity applications, and Bulk Current Injection testing. The system combines the primary instruments required for IEC / EN 61000-4-6 testing into a single integrated platform: RF signal generator, RF power amplifier, 3-channel RF voltmeter, and directional coupler.
The CDG 7000 is designed for direct disturbance injection onto power, signal, and control lines using coupling/decoupling networks, EM clamps, and BCI injection probes. This allows the equipment under test to remain in its normal operating configuration while RF disturbances are applied to connected cables and interfaces.
The CDG 7000 supports a wide range of conducted RF immunity and magnetic field-related test requirements, depending on the selected model and accessories.
| Standard / Application | Typical Use |
|---|---|
| IEC / EN 61000-4-6 | Conducted immunity to RF disturbances induced onto cables |
| IEC 60601-1-2 Ed. 4.1 | Medical electrical equipment EMC immunity testing |
| IEC 61000-4-39 | Close proximity radiated fields / magnetic field-related immunity test setups |
| MIL-STD-461 CS114 | Bulk cable injection susceptibility testing |
| ISO 11452-4 | Automotive Bulk Current Injection Testing |
| NAMUR | Industrial immunity applications |
| IEC 61326-3-2 | Functional safety-related immunity applications, depending on configuration |
The CDG 7000 is well-suited for laboratories that need a compact, integrated conducted-immunity platform. By combining multiple instruments into one system, the CDG 7000 helps reduce rack space, setup complexity, cabling, and integration time.
The system can be configured for IEC 61000-4-6 testing using CDNs or EM clamps, for ISO 11452-4/MIL-STD-461 CS114 BCI testing using injection and monitoring probes, and for IEC 60601-1-2 Ed. 4.1 / IEC 61000-4-39 related test configurations with the proper accessories and software.

For IEC 61000-4-6 testing, the CDG 7000 is used with coupling/decoupling networks, EM clamps, or other suitable coupling devices. The generator produces the RF disturbance signal while the integrated amplifier, RF metering, and directional coupler support level setting, monitoring, and test execution.
For BCI testing, the CDG 7000 can be configured with a BCI injection probe and a current monitoring probe. The CDG 7000-200 configuration supports BCI testing up to 500 mA closed loop when used with the correct accessories.
The CDG 7000-75-10 is well-suited for medical EMC immunity test configurations requiring low-frequency RF conducted immunity and magnetic field-related test setups. Additional accessories and test fixtures may be required depending on the final test standard and level.
