1 Safety and regulatory information

The product documentation helps you use the product safely and efficiently. Follow the

instructions provided here and in the following chapters.

Intended use

The product is intended for the development, production and verification of electronic

components and devices in industrial, administrative, and laboratory environments.

Use the product only for its designated purpose. Observe the operating conditions and

performance limits stated in the data sheet.

Where do I find safety information?

Safety information is part of the product documentation. It warns you of potential dan-

gers and gives instructions on how to prevent personal injury or damage caused by

dangerous situations. Safety information is provided as follows:

●In Chapter 1.1, "Safety instructions", on page 17. The same information is provi-

ded in many languages as printed "Safety Instructions". The printed "Safety

Instructions" are delivered with the product.

●Throughout the documentation, safety instructions are provided when you need to

take care during setup or operation.

1.1 Safety instructions

Products from the Rohde & Schwarz group of companies are manufactured according

to the highest technical standards. To use the products safely, follow the instructions

provided here and in the product documentation. Keep the product documentation

nearby and offer it to other users.

Use the product only for its intended use and within its performance limits. Intended

use and limits are described in the product documentation such as the data sheet,

manuals and the printed "Safety Instructions". If you are unsure about the appropriate

use, contact Rohde & Schwarz customer service.

Using the product requires specialists or specially trained personnel. These users also

need sound knowledge of at least one of the languages in which the user interfaces

and the product documentation are available.

Reconfigure or adjust the product only as described in the product documentation or

the data sheet. Any other modifications can affect safety and are not permitted.

Never open the casing of the product. Only service personnel authorized by

Rohde & Schwarz are allowed to repair the product. If any part of the product is dam-

aged or broken, stop using the product. Contact Rohde & Schwarz customer service at

https://www.rohde-schwarz.com/support.

Lifting and carrying the product

The maximum weight of the product is provided in the data sheet. You can lift or carry

the product by yourself, if you can manage the weight on your own. Alternatively, you

can use lifting or transporting equipment. Follow the instructions provided by the equip-

ment manufacturer.

Choosing the operating site

Only use the product indoors. The product casing is not waterproof. Water that enters

can electrically connect the casing with live parts, which can lead to electric shock,

serious personal injury or death if you touch the casing. If Rohde & Schwarz provides

accessories designed for your product, e.g. a carrying bag, you can use the product

outdoors.

Unless otherwise specified, you can operate the product up to an altitude of 2000 m

above sea level. The product is suitable for pollution degree 2 environments where

nonconductive contamination can occur. For more information on environmental condi-

tions such as ambient temperature and humidity, see the data sheet.

Setting up the product

Always place the product on a stable, flat and level surface with the bottom of the prod-

uct facing down. If the product is designed for different positions, secure the product so

that it cannot fall over.

If the product has foldable feet, always fold the feet completely in or out to ensure sta-

bility. The feet can collapse if they are not folded out completely or if the product is

moved without lifting it. The foldable feet are designed to carry the weight of the prod-

uct, but not an extra load.

If stacking is possible, keep in mind that a stack of products can fall over and cause

injury.

If you mount products in a rack, ensure that the rack has sufficient load capacity and

stability. Observe the specifications of the rack manufacturer. Always install the prod-

ucts from the bottom shelf to the top shelf so that the rack stands securely. Secure the

product so that it cannot fall off the rack.

Connecting to power

The product is an overvoltage category II product. Connect the product to a fixed

installation used to supply energy-consuming equipment such as household applian-

ces and similar loads. Keep in mind that electrically powered products have risks, such

as electric shock, fire, personal injury or even death. Replace parts that are relevant to

safety only by original parts, e.g. power cables or fuses.

Take the following measures for your safety:

●Before switching on the product, ensure that the voltage and frequency indicated

on the product match the available power source. If the power adapter does not

adjust automatically, set the correct value and check the rating of the fuse.

●Only use the power cable delivered with the product. It complies with country-spe-

cific safety requirements. Only insert the plug into an outlet with protective conduc-

tor terminal.

●Only use intact cables and route them carefully so that they cannot be damaged.

Check the power cables regularly to ensure that they are undamaged. Also ensure

that nobody can trip over loose cables.

●If you connect the product to an external power supply, use the one delivered with

the product or recommended in the product documentation. The external power

supply must conform to the country-specific regulations.

●Only connect the product to a power source with a fuse protection of maximum

20 A.

●Ensure that you can disconnect the product from the power source at any time.

Pull the power plug to disconnect the product. The power plug must be easily

accessible. If the product is integrated into a system that does not meet these

requirements, provide an easily accessible circuit breaker at the system level.

Using headphones

Take the following measures to prevent hearing damage. Before using headphones,

check the volume and reduce it if necessary. If you monitor varying signal levels, take

off the headphones and wait until the signal has settled. Then adjust the volume.

Cleaning the product

Use a dry, lint-free cloth to clean the product. When cleaning, keep in mind that the

casing is not waterproof. Do not use liquid cleaning agents.

Meaning of safety labels

Safety labels on the product warn against potential hazards.

Potential hazard

Read the product documentation to avoid personal injury or product damage.

Electrical hazard

Indicates live parts. Risk of electric shock, fire, personal injury or even death.

Hot surface

Do not touch. Risk of skin burns. Risk of fire.

Protective conductor terminal

Connect this terminal to a grounded external conductor or to protective ground. This connec-

tion protects you against electric shock if an electric problem occurs.

1.2 Warning messages in the documentation

A warning message points out a risk or danger that you need to be aware of. The sig-

nal word indicates the severity of the safety hazard and how likely it will occur if you do

not follow the safety precautions.
