For component or whole vehicle testing, Elite has the complete program in place to conduct testing for the heavy vehicle industry.  Test capabilities include component level (EMC and environmental) to whole vehicle EMC testing in our large indoor RF test chamber.

• Truck - Freightliner, International, Mack, Oshkosh, Paccar, Pierce, Volvo
• Construction & Ag - Caterpillar, CNH, Deere, Volvo, Komatsu
• Military - AM General,  CAT,  Oshkosh
• European Union “e-mark” testing of component and whole vehicles.
• Component EMC and Environmental

Truck Industry Testing

Elite is recognized by the industry leaders such as Freightliner, International, Mack, Paccar, and Volvo North America for testing electronic subassemblies and whole vehicles.  Elite test equipment is capable of achieving the unique requirements for this industry including high RF susceptibility test levels and SAE J1455 load dump, mutual coupling, and inductive switching.

Construction Industry Testing

Elite has capabilities to perform testing to the following specifications:

• Caterpillar EC-1
• Case New Holland ENS-310
• John Deere 53.3

Agricultural Industry Testing

Elite supports agricultural industry testing to OEM specifications. For European Union compliance of agricultural and forestry machines and electronic subassemblies, we perform all tests specified in EN 14982. For these devices the manufacturer can self declare compliance with the EMC directive 2004/108/EC and CE Mark the product. Similarly, for agricultural tractors Elite can complete testing in accordance with the “e” marking requirements of 2003/37/EC and 2000/2/EC.

Whole Vehicle Testing

Elite is the best equipped testing facility for whole vehicles in North America for a very simple reason: We operate the largest and most flexible third-party RF-shielded chamber—more than 100 feet in length—in the country. With nearly ten years experience testing vehicles and large systems, we can configure our facilities, testing programs and equipment in ways nobody else can.

• Configurable for reverberation chamber mode-stirring or absorber-lined chamber methods
• Multi-camera video monitoring system
• Remote SAE J551 emissions site with low RF ambient
• Field strengths at +200V/m from 10kHz-18GHz.
• Configurable cooling water for testing boat engines

Note: For absorber lined chamber testing, anechoic material is placed within chamber and around vehicle to satisfy field uniformity requirements of EMC test specification.
