shall be measured at the input terminals of the equipment.
For battery operated equipment the battery shall be removed and the test power source shall be applied as close to the
battery terminals as practicable.
During tests of DC powered equipment the power source voltages shall be maintained within a tolerance of < ±1 %
relative to the voltage at the beginning of each test. The value of this tolerance is critical for power measurements.
Using a smaller tolerance will provide better measurement uncertainty values.
5.3 Normal test conditions
5.3.1 Normal temperature and humidity
The normal temperature and humidity conditions for tests shall be any convenient combination of temperature and
humidity within the following ranges:
• temperature: +15 °C to +35 °C;
• relative humidity: 20 % to 75 %.
When it is impracticable to carry out the tests under these conditions, a note to this effect, stating the ambient
temperature and relative humidity during the tests, shall be added to the test report.
5.3.2 Normal test power source
5.3.2.1 Mains voltage
The normal test voltage for equipment to be connected to the mains shall be the nominal mains voltage. For the purpose
of the present document, the nominal voltage shall be the declared voltage or any of the declared voltages for which the
equipment was designed.
The frequency of the test power source corresponding to the ac mains shall be between 49 Hz and 51 Hz.
5.3.2.2 Regulated lead-acid battery power sources used on vehicles
When the radio equipment is intended for operation from the usual types of regulated lead-acid battery power source
used on vehicles the normal test voltage shall be 1,1 times the nominal voltage of the battery (for nominal voltages of
6 V and 12 V, these are 6,6 V and 13,2 V respectively).
5.3.2.3 Other power sources
For operation from other power sources or types of battery (primary or secondary), the normal test voltage shall be that
declared by the equipment manufacturer.
ETSI

5.4.2.2 Regulated lead-acid battery power sources used on vehicles
When the equipment is intended for operation from the usual types of regulated lead-acid battery power sources used on
vehicles the extreme test voltages shall be 1,3 and 0,9 times the nominal voltage of the battery (for a nominal voltage of
6 V, these are 7,8 V and 5,4 V respectively and for a nominal voltage of 12 V, these are 15,6 V and 10,8 V
respectively).
5.4.2.3 Power sources using other types of batteries
The lower extreme test voltages for equipment with power sources using batteries shall be as follows:
- for the nickel metal-hydride, leclanché or lithium type: 0,85 times the nominal battery voltage;
- for the mercury or nickel-cadmium type: 0,9 times the nominal battery voltage.
No upper extreme test voltages apply.
In the case where no upper extreme test voltage the nominal voltage is applicable, the corresponding four extreme test
conditions are:
• V /T , V /T ;
min min min max
• (V = nominal)/T , (V = nominal)/T .
max min max max
5.4.2.4 Other power sources
For equipment using other power sources, or capable of being operated from a variety of power sources, the extreme
test voltages shall be those declared by the equipment manufacturer.
ETSI
13 ETSI EN 300 296-1 V1.3.1 (2010-07)
5.5 Procedure for tests at extreme temperatures
Before measurements are made the equipment shall have reached thermal balance in the test chamber. The equipment
shall be switched off during the temperature stabilizing period.
In the case of equipment containing temperature stabilization circuits designed to operate continuously, the temperature
stabilization circuits may be switched on for 15 minutes after thermal balance has been obtained, and the equipment
shall then meet the specified requirements. For such equipment the manufacturer shall provide for the power source
circuit feeding the crystal oven to be independent of the power source for the rest of the equipment.
If the thermal balance is not checked by measurements, a temperature stabilizing period of at least one hour, or a longer
period as may be decided by the testing laboratory, shall be allowed. The sequence of measurements shall be chosen,
and the humidity content in the test chamber shall be controlled so that excessive condensation does not occur.
5.5.1 Procedure for equipment designed for continuous transmission
If the manufacturer states that the equipment is designed for continuous transmission, the test procedure shall be as
follows.
Before tests at the upper extreme temperature, the equipment shall be placed in the test chamber, and left until thermal
balance is attained. The equipment shall then be switched on in the transmit condition for a period of half an hour, after
which the equipment shall meet the specified requirements.
Before tests at the lower extreme temperature, the equipment shall be left in the test chamber until thermal balance is
attained, then switched to the standby or receive condition for a period of one minute, after which the equipment shall
meet the specified requirements.
5.5.2 Procedure for equipment designed for intermittent transmission
If the manufacturer states that the equipment is designed for intermittent transmission, the test procedure shall be as
follows.
Before tests at the upper extreme temperature, the equipment shall be placed in the test chamber, and left until thermal
balance is attained. The equipment shall then be switched on for one minute in the transmit condition, followed by four
minutes in the receive condition, after which the equipment shall meet the specified requirements.
For tests at the lower extreme temperature, the equipment shall be left in the test chamber until thermal balance is
attained, then switched to the standby
