Safety & Warnings
This unit has been designed and tested in accordance with the EC Certificate of Conformity and has left the manufacturer’s plant in a condition fully complying with safety standards. To maintain this condition and to ensure safe operation, the user must observe all instructions and warnings given in this operating manual.
Safety-related symbols used on equipment and documentation from R&S include: operating instructions, weight indication for units >18 kg, PE terminal, ground terminal, danger, warning, shock hazard, hot surfaces, and electrostatic sensitive devices require special care.
The unit may be used only in the operating conditions and positions specified by the manufacturer. It is not permissible to interrupt the PE conductor intentionally, as this may cause the unit to become electrically hazardous. Any extension lines or multiple socket outlets used must be checked for compliance with relevant safety standards at regular intervals.
The unit may be operated only from supply networks fused with max. 16 A. Unless specified otherwise in the data sheet, a tolerance of +10% shall apply to the nominal voltage and of +5% to the nominal frequency. For measurements in circuits with voltages Vims > 30 V, suitable measures should be taken to avoid any hazards.
If the unit is to be permanently wired, the PE terminal of the unit must first be connected to the PE conductor on site before any other connections are made. Installation and cabling of the unit must be performed only by qualified technical personnel. For permanently installed units without built-in fuses, the supply circuit must be fused to provide suitable protection for the users and equipment.
Prior to switching on the unit, it must be ensured that the nominal voltage set on the unit matches the nominal voltage of the AC supply network. Units of protection class I with disconnectible AC supply cable and appliance connector may be operated only from a power socket with earthing contact and with the PE conductor connected.
Ensure that the connections with information technology equipment comply with IEC950 / EN60950. Lithium batteries must not be exposed to high temperatures or fire. If the battery is replaced improperly, there is a danger of explosion. Only replace the battery by R&S type. Dispose of them into appropriate containers only. Do not short-circuit the battery.
Equipment returned or sent in for repair must be packed in the original packing or in packing with electrostatic and mechanical protection. Electrostatics via the connectors may damage the equipment. For safe handling and operation, appropriate measures against electrostatics should be implemented.
The outside of the instrument should be cleaned using a soft, lint-free dustcloth. Never use solvents such as thinners, acetone, as they may damage the front panel labeling or plastic parts. Any additional safety instructions given in this manual are also to be observed.
