R&S QPS201
Installing cables
A R&S QPS installation consisting of the scanner, operator touchscreen and monitors
requires cable connections (power cables, LAN cables etc.). Make sure to secure all
cables on the floor and cover them up.
Loose cables are a tripping hazard. Tripping on cables can cause physical injuries.
Properly covered cables also minimize the risk of cable damage.
Choosing the operating site
Use the R&S QPS only indoors. The R&S QPS is not waterproof and water that enters
can electrically connect the casing with live parts. This can lead to electric shock, seri-
ous personal injury or death if you touch the casing.
For more information on environmental operating conditions, such as ambient temper-
ature, and humidity, see the data sheet.
Supplying the R&S QPS with power
You can connect the R&S QPS to the power distribution system normally used to sup-
ply energy-consuming equipment, such as household appliances and similar loads.
Electrically powered products have risks, such as electric shock, fire, personal injury or
even death.
Take the following measures for your safety:
●
Only use the power cable delivered with the R&S QPS. It complies with country-
specific safety requirements. Only insert the plug into an approved grounded outlet.
●
For components that need an external AC adapter, only use the one that is deliv-
ered with the components.
●
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.
●
If the voltage or frequency is higher than 230 V or 50 Hz, the leakage current of the
R&S QPS can be above the limits. In that case, a protective ground connection
must be established for each panel before connecting them to the mains supply.
●
Only connect the R&S QPS to supply networks with a fuse protection of maximum
20 A.
●
Ensure that you can disconnect the product from the mains supply at any time. Pull
the power plug to disconnect the product. The power plug must be easily accessi-
ble.
Calibrating the R&S QPS
The calibration cylinder is heavy and can cause physical injury.
Install the calibration cylinder exactly as described in the installation manual.
At least two people are required to carry or lift the calibration cylinder.
Installing the calibration cylinder requires a ladder. At least two people are therefore
required to install the calibration cylinder - one person must secure the cylinder and
ladder while the second person assembles the calibration setup.
