To obtain the best performance, use the Product in controlled environments with good system grounding and shielding practices. For radiated EMI fields from 0.25 to 1 V/m from 80 to 130 MHz, add 9 µV to the 1 V output, and 3.6 µV to the 0.1 V output. For ac mains conducted EMI of 1 Vrms from 75 to 80 MHz, add 1 µV to the 1 V output, and 0.7 µV to the 0.1 V output. The 10 V output is mostly unaffected by EMI fields up to 1 V/m or by conducted EMI up to 1 Vrms.
