Who supplies Frankonia anechoic chambers in Malaysia?

ICX Lab Services in Penang is the authorised distributor for Frankonia EMC chambers, shielded rooms, Frankosorb absorbers and chamber automation. We manage the project locally from site survey to validation, with Frankonia's engineers on site for installation and commissioning.

What makes Frankosorb absorbers different?

Frankosorb A2 absorbers are non-combustible to DIN 4102 and EN 13501-1, not fire-retardant foam, so the chamber usually needs no fire suppression system of its own. They are carbon-free thin-film pyramids that shed no dust and are qualified for ISO Class 5 clean rooms, and they are screwed or hung rather than glued, so single pieces are replaced in minutes and the lining moves with the chamber.

Which Frankonia chamber suits a consumer product laboratory?

The SAC-3 Plus L. It gives a 2 m quiet zone at a 3 m test distance in the smallest footprint of any premium 3 m chamber, with guaranteed NSA and site VSWR figures and the mast, turntable and controller included. The chamber section of this page compares it with the SAC-5 Plus, SAC-10/P, ACTC and SAC-10 Plus Triton for other product types.

How long does a chamber project take?

It depends on the chamber size, the building work and the shipping route. We give a delivery and installation schedule with the quotation, once the site survey has confirmed the room, floor loading and access.

Chambers by product segment

Five chambers, five kinds of laboratory

Frankonia builds more than twenty chamber models. These five are the ones we propose first, one for each kind of product a laboratory in this region is asked to test. All five share the Frankosorb A2 lining and Frankonia's guaranteed site figures.

Consumer productsIT, household, lighting, small medical

SAC-3 Plus L

3 m, dome roof

Why this one: the largest quiet zone you can get in a 3 m chamber, in the smallest footprint of any premium 3 m chamber, so a table-top product laboratory fits an ordinary industrial unit without raising the roof.

2.0 mquiet zone

±3.5 / +5.5 dBNSA / SVSWR guaranteed

9.2 × 6.5 × 6.0 mexternal

up to 5 tturntable load

Full compliance at 3 m to CISPR 11, 14, 15, 32 and IEC 61000-4-3, with the SVSWR figure most 3 m chambers only reach on request.
Dome roof shortens the absorbers over the test volume, so ventilation ducting sits beside the crown and the room stays within a 6 m ceiling.
Turnkey package with mast, turntable and controller as standard, not as options.
Grows with you: the Transformer version converts between semi-anechoic and fully anechoic for radiated immunity in the same room.

Fits: test houses starting up, electronics OEMs, lighting and appliance makers.SAC-3 Plus details →

Light industrial productsDrives, control cabinets, medical systems, telecom

SAC-5 Plus

5 m and 3 m, dome roof

Why this one: the step up for products that no longer fit a 2 m quiet zone but do not justify a 10 m hall. A 5 m distance with a 3 m quiet zone takes a control cabinet, a hospital bed or a rack of telecom equipment, and the 3 m distance is still there for the small products.

2.0 or 3.0 mquiet zone

±3.5 / +5.5 dBNSA / SVSWR guaranteed

12.7 × 8.2 × 6.3 mexternal, L variant

up to 5 tturntable load

Two distances in one room: 5 m for the big products and 3 m for the rest, without a second chamber.
Commercial and military in the same lining: CISPR 11, 14, 15, 25, 32 and MIL-STD-461.
Same 6.3 m height class as the 3 m chamber, so it fits the same kind of building.
Hybrid F006, H600 and H1000 lining keeps the walls thin and the room compact for its quiet zone.

Fits: industrial automation, medical equipment makers, telecom and data-centre hardware, certification labs adding a second room.SAC-5 Plus details →

Heavy machineryVehicles, plant, large machines, military

SAC-10/P Pyramid

10 m, long pyramids

Why this one: a 10 m chamber built for weight. turntables up to 80 tonnes, quiet zones to 6 m and a long-pyramid lining that does not need ferrite, which is the cost-efficient way to build a hall this size without giving anything away in performance.

3.0 to 6.0 mquiet zone, four sizes

±3.5 / +5.5 dBNSA / SVSWR guaranteed

21.7 to 25.0 mlong, 8.6 to 9.0 m high

up to 80 tturntable load

Vehicles and plant: CISPR 12, CISPR 25, ISO 11451 and 11452 for whole vehicles and machinery, plus CISPR 11, 32 and MIL-STD-461.
Ferrite-free lining: P2400 long pyramids cover 26 MHz upward on their own, so there is no ferrite-to-foam mismatch and less weight on the walls.
Dynamometer and special turntables are integrated at the design stage, not retrofitted.
Non-combustible A2 pyramids matter most in a hall this size: hundreds of square metres of lining with no fire load.

Fits: vehicle and bus makers, agricultural and construction machinery, rail, defence, large-appliance plants.SAC-10/P details →

Automotive componentsECUs, sensors, e-drive components

ACTC

1 m, table set-up

Why this one: the compact room for the two tests every automotive component supplier is asked for, CISPR 25 emission and ISO 11452 immunity at the 1 m distance those standards use. Frankonia calls it the comfortable alternative to a GTEM cell: a real chamber with a bench, a door and room to work, under a 3.75 m ceiling.

1.0 mtest distance

9 kHz to 18 GHz40 GHz option

6.4 × 5.5 × 3.8 mexternal, ACTC

up to 10 tload capacity

Emission and immunity in one room: CISPR 25 and ISO 11452 with the harness, ground plane and bench the standards draw.
Shortest hybrid lining: F006 ferrite with H450 hybrids keeps the walls thin and the room small, in the same non-combustible A2 material as the large chambers.
Ready for e-drive: upgradeable with a load machine, battery test system and shielded feed-throughs for inverter and motor testing at power.
ACTC L extends the same room to 11.5 by 6.6 by 4.5 m for table and vehicle set-ups.

Fits: automotive tier 1 and tier 2 suppliers, EV component makers, ECU and sensor developers.ACTC details →

Multi-purpose laboratoryTest houses, one room for every product size

SAC-10 Plus Triton

10, 5 and 3 m, three axes

Why this one: three test axes in one 10 m chamber. A test house sets up a 10 m emission measurement on one axis, a 3 m emission and immunity set-up on the second and a 3 m immunity set-up on the third, and moves between them without tearing down. It is the multi-purpose room for a laboratory that never knows what arrives next week.

3.0 mquiet zone

±3.5 dBNSA, FU 0/+6 dB

19.2 × 12.1 × 8.3 mexternal, polygonal

up to 5 tturntable load

Axis 1: 10 m, 5 m and 3 m emission distances on one turntable.
Axis 2: 3 m emission and immunity. Axis 3: 3 m immunity, so an immunity sweep runs while an emission scan is being prepared.
CISPR 11, 14, 15, 25, 32, IEC 61000-4-3, ISO 11452 and MIL-STD-461 from one lining of F006, H600 and H1000 hybrids with P2400 pyramids on the ceiling.
Polygonal shell gives the three axes their absorber geometry without the footprint of three rooms.

Fits: commercial test houses, corporate EMC centres serving several product lines, universities.SAC-10 Plus Triton details →
