R&S RT‑Z1M

3 Putting into operation

Read and observe the instructions in
using the buffer amplifier.
For your safety, follow the safety instructions delivered with your Rohde & Schwarz
oscilloscope and probe, and the instructions given in the manuals of your measure-
ment equipment.
Observe the voltage limits and ratings of the accessory and the measuring instrument.
Limits and ratings are marked on the products and listed in the data sheets.
The R&S RT‑Z1M works with oscilloscopes that have inputs with 50 Ω input impe-
dance only. Oscilloscopes that support a 1 MΩ input impedance do not support the buf-
fer amplifier.
During usage, the probe slightly heats up. Warming is normal behavior and not a sign
of malfunction.

3.1 Connecting the buffer amplifier to the oscilloscope

1. Make sure that the oscilloscope is properly grounded.
2. NOTICE! Risk of damaging the probe.
Connect the probe only to an instrument with Rohde & Schwarz probe interface.
Never connect it to a usual BNC jack, because this can damage the probe inter-
face.
Connect the buffer amplifier (1) to the Rohde & Schwarz probe interface of the
oscilloscope (2).
The buffer amplifier snaps in when connected properly to the port.
