Introducing the NoiseKen ESS-PS1 Electrostatic Discharge Simulator with GT-31S ESD Gun from Telonic Instruments

Setting the Standard for IEC 61000-4-2 Edition 3 and ISO 10605 Edition 3 Compliance

Telonic Instruments has announced the arrival of the NoiseKen ESS-PS1 Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Simulator with the GT-31S ESD Gun, the latest evolution in ESD testing technology, engineered for absolute confidence in Edition 3 compliance.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) events remain a leading cause of electronic product failure, from automotive systems to consumer electronics. As global standards evolve, so too must testing solutions. The ESS-PS1 is designed from the ground up to meet the stringent demands of IEC 61000-4-2 Edition 3.0 and ISO 10605 Edition 3.0, ensuring every test you perform reflects true-to-life ESD conditions with the highest degree of repeatability and safety.

Compliance, Portability, and Precision—Redefined

With a discharge capability up to 30.5 kV, the ESS-PS1 delivers fully compliant, precision-controlled discharges in both contact and air modes. Its intuitive touch-panel gun interface simplifies operation and reduces setup time, while battery-powered portability makes on-site and large-system testing more efficient than ever.

Key technical innovations include:

  • Full compliance with IEC 61000-4-2 Ed. 3.0 and ISO 10605 Ed. 3.0 standards
  • Integrated discharge cup and CR unit within the new GT-31S gun for faster, safer module changes
  • Automatic discharge module recognition, eliminating setup errors
  • Pre-check functions for voltage output, insulation integrity, and relay operation—ensuring every test is valid
  • Optical communication for PC remote control and automated test management

With its pre-start inspection capability and intelligent module detection, the ESS-PS1 guarantees that every test run is conducted correctly and consistently addressing a long-standing challenge in ESD testing reliability.

Built for Real-World Reliability

ESD failures in the field can cause malfunctions, costly returns, and safety risks. The ESS-PS1 replicates real-world ESD phenomena to assess immunity where it matters most—on product housings, control interfaces, and connectors. Whether in the lab or at a customer site, its 7-hour battery life and 3 kg compact main unit ensure maximum flexibility for demanding test environments including automotive, medical, industrial, and consumer electronics.

Expert View – Why Edition 3 Compliance Matters

The move to Edition 3 of both IEC 61000-4-2 and ISO 10605 reflects a significant shift in how ESD performance is assessed. These standards introduce updated testing methodologies and stricter performance verification requirements to better simulate real-world discharge events.

For manufacturers, compliance with Edition 3 ensures:

  • Greater realism in discharge waveform and energy verification
  • Improved repeatability between test systems and laboratories
  • Alignment with current regulatory and OEM automotive EMC requirements

The NoiseKen ESS-PS1’s integrated discharge module and pre-check functionality directly address these new expectations, providing not only compliance but traceable accuracy and operational assurance.

According to Telonic, the ESS-PS1 with GT-31S ESD Gun doesn’t just meet the Edition 3 standards—it embodies them.
