1 Safety information

The product documentation helps you use the product safely and efficiently. Follow the
instructions provided here and in the following chapters.
Intended use
The R&S RT‑Z1M high-impedance buffer amplifier is designed for measurements on
circuits that are only indirectly connected to the mains or not connected at all. It is not
rated for any measurement category.
The product is intended for the development, production and verification of electronic
components and devices in industrial, administrative, and laboratory environments.
Use the product only for its designated purpose. Observe the operating conditions and
performance limits stated in the data sheet.
The buffer amplifier is designed for usage with oscilloscopes that have a
Rohde & Schwarz probe interface. Supported Rohde & Schwarz oscilloscopes are lis-
ted in the product's data sheet.
Where do I find safety information?
Safety information is part of the product documentation. It warns you of potential dan-
gers and gives instructions on how to prevent personal injury or damage caused by
dangerous situations.
●
Printed "Safety Instructions for Oscilloscopes and Accessories" in many languages
is delivered with your Rohde & Schwarz oscilloscope and probes.
●
The documentation of the oscilloscope and measurement equipment provides
safety instructions when you need to take care during setup or operation.
Operating site
Only use the product indoors, and keep it dry. The product casing is not waterproof.
You can operate the product up to the altitude specified in the data sheet. The lowest
specified altitude for a product of the measurement setup defines the altitude for the
complete setup.
The product is suitable for pollution degree 2 environments where nonconductive con-
tamination can occur. For more information on environmental conditions such as ambi-
ent temperature and humidity, see the data sheet.
Electrical safety
Take the following measures for your safety:
●
The buffer amplifier and the measurement instrument must be grounded. Ground-
ing is typically ensured through the grounding of the measurement instrument to
which the buffer amplifier is connected.
●
Always connect the buffer amplifier to the oscilloscope first before connecting a
probe to the buffer amplifier and to the circuit under test.
