Safety Instructions

General Precautions
NOTICE Instrument damage caused by disregarding the following precautions!
Any non-compliance with the following precautions may cause damage to the
instrument. Prior to putting the instrument into operation, check the following:
Also observe the instructions in the following sections and the general safety
instructions at the beginning of this manual.
Protection against Electrostatic Discharge
To avoid damaging the electronic components of the EUT (Equipment Under Test) due
to electrostatic discharge produced by contact, the use of appropriate protective
measures is recommended.
EMC Safety Precautions
To avoid EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference) double shielded signal and control cables must be used at
all signal connectors.
Unless other stated, outputs and lines have to be terminated properly with 50 Ohms. USB devices must
keep within permissible EMI limits.
Note:
For the multiplexed R&S digital data stream only the cable R&S SMU-Z6 is permitted for connection
at the digital interfaces. The associated cable is available under R&S part number 1415.0201.02.

The covers of the housing are in place and screwed on.
Vents are not obstructed. Make sure that the air can escape freely through the
vents at the rear and at the sides. The minimum distance to the wall should
therefore be at least 10 cm.
The signal levels at the inputs do not exceed permissible limits.
The outputs of the instrument are not overloaded or incorrectly connected.
This particularly applies to the maximum permissible back-feed at the outputs,
which is specified in the data sheet.
The instrument should only be operated in horizontal position on an even surface.
The ambient temperature must not exceed the range specified in the data sheet.
