Safety & Warnings
The manual includes several safety warnings and precautions:
1. It is not permissible to intentionally interrupt the PE (protective earth) conductor, either in the incoming cable or on the unit itself, as this may make the unit electrically hazardous.
2. Any extension lines or multiple socket outlets used must be checked regularly for compliance with relevant safety standards.
3. If the unit lacks a power switch for disconnection from the AC supply, the plug of the connecting cable is regarded as the disconnecting device. It must be ensured that the power plug is easily reachable and accessible at all times. Functional or electronic switches are not suitable for disconnection from the AC supply.
4. If units without power switches are integrated into racks or systems, a disconnecting device must be provided at the system level.
5. Applicable local or national safety regulations and rules for accident prevention must be observed in all work performed.
6. Before performing any work on the unit or opening it, the unit must be disconnected from the supply network.
7. Any adjustments, replacements of parts, maintenance, or repair may only be carried out by authorized R&S technical personnel.
8. Only original parts may be used for replacing parts relevant to safety, such as power switches, power transformers, and fuses. A safety test must be performed after each replacement of parts relevant to safety, including visual inspection, PE conductor test, insulation resistance, leakage-current measurement, and functional test.
9. Any additional safety instructions given in the manual must also be observed.
