Safety Instructions for Stacking Instruments
Danger of injury
Instruments may slip if they are stacked on top of each other.
Place the instrument on a stable, even surface. Stack the instruments
according to their size, with the largest instrument on the bottom. Do
not stack more than three in-struments directly on top of each other.
Instruments may only be stacked if their feet and housing allow horizon-
tal stacking. If these conditions are not met, the instru-ments must be
installed in a rack in order to avoid the risk of personal injury and ma-
terial damage.
Incorrect order Incompatible feet Too many instruments
stacked

Peligro de heridas
Los aparatos pueden desplazarse al ser amontonados.
Posicionar los aparatos sobre una superficie estable y lisa. Amontonar
los aparatos por orden de su tamaño. No amontonar nunca más de
tres aparatos uno sobre el otro. Los aparatos solamente deberán ser
amontonados, si los piés y la caja del aparato correspondiente hacen
posible amontonarlos de forma horizontal. Si no se cumplen estas con-
diciones, deberán ser montados los aparatos en una caja apta para
este propósito. De esta manera evitarán el riesgo de daños en perso-
nas y daños en el aparato.

1 Preface
This chapter provides safety-related information, an overview of the user documenta-
tion and the conventions used in the documentation.
1.1 For Your Safety
The R&S DVMS is designed for use solely in industrial and laboratory environments.
As a solution for monitoring digital TV networks, typical fields of applications are signal
monitoring at the transmitter site, the satellite uplink or the headend. Use the
R&S DVMS only in its designated purpose. Observe the performance limits and oper-
ating conditions stated in the specifications (data sheet).
The product documentation helps you to use the R&S DVMS safely and efficiently.
Keep the product documentation in a safe place and pass it on to the subsequent
users.
Safety information is part of the product documentation. It warns you about the poten-
tial dangers and gives instructions how to prevent personal injury or damage caused
by dangerous situations. Safety information is provided as follows:
●In the "Basic Safety Instructions", safety issues are grouped according to subjects.
For example, one subject is electrical safety. The "Basic Safety Instructions" are
delivered with the R&S DVMS in different languages.
●Throughout the documentation, safety instructions are provided when you need to
take care during setup or operation.
Always read the safety instructions carefully. Make sure to comply fully with them. Do
not take risks and do not underestimate the potential danger of small details such as a
damaged power cable.

2 Setting Up the Instrument
Risk of injuries
To avoid injuries to yourself or others, always follow the instructions provided in the fol-
lowing chapters. Furthermore, observe the general safety instructions at the beginning
of this manual.
2.1 Unpacking the Instrument
The R&S DVMS is shipped together with its mandatory accessories in a cardboard
box.
2.1.1 Inspecting for Shipping Damage
Check the following. If anything is damaged, immediately notify the carrier.
1. Check the shipping container and cushioning material for damage.
2. Unpack the cardboard box, see Chapter 2.1.2, "Unpacking the Cardboard Box",
on page 10.
3. Check the housing and handle for visible damages or loose parts.
2.1.2 Unpacking the Cardboard Box
Proceed as follows:
1. Open the cardboard box.
2. Remove the accessories packed into the box.
3. Take the instrument out of the packaging.
4. Remove the shock protectors attached to the instrument.
Retain the original packing material. If the instrument needs to be transported or ship-
ped later, you can use the material to prevent control elements and connectors from
being damaged. Rohde & Schwarz only accepts claims of warranty if the instrument is
shipped with sufficient packaging.

2.1.3 Checking the Accessories
The instrument comes with the following accessories:
●Power cable
●Getting started manual
2.1.4 Warranty Conditions
For information on warranty conditions for the R&S DVMS, see the terms of the deliv-
ery documents.
2.2 Putting Up the Instrument
The instrument can be used in standalone operation or can be installed in a rack.
Risk of material damage
Make sure that the following conditions are met at the operation site:
●The ambient temperature does not exceed the range specified in the data sheet.
●All fan openings are unobstructed and the airflow perforations are unimpeded. The
minimum distance from the wall is at least 10 cm.
Failure to meet these conditions can damage the instrument or other devices in the
test setup.
If necessary, use proper protective equipment to protect DUTs against electrostatic dis-
charge in the event of human contact.
2.2.1 Placing the Instrument on a Bench Top
The R&S DVMS is designed for use under general laboratory conditions.
Risk of injuries
If the instrument is not set up securely, you or others can be injured.
Place the instrument on a stable and level surface. Do not place anything on top of the
instrument, if the instrument is not in a level position.
Before folding out the feet at the instrument bottom, read the safety instructions for
instruments with fold-out feet at the beginning of this manual carefully.

3 Interfaces and Connectors
This chapter describes the front panel and the rear panel of the instrument, including
all status displays and connectors.
Some connectors warm up slightly when high voltages are applied. As long as maxi-
mum input levels are not exceeded, warm-up does not affect normal operation.
3.1 Front Panel
This chapter gives a short overview of the status displays and connectors on the front
panel.
The inscriptions on your R&S DVMS match the captions of the connector descriptions.
Figure 3-1: Front panel view
3.1.1 Status Display LEDs
The basic status is indicated by LEDs.
3.1.1.1 POWER
Displays the power supply status.
●LED off: No power is supplied. R&S DVMS is switched off.
●LED blue: Power is supplied.
●LED red (flashing): Failure of fan.
To rectify this failure, switch the R&S DVMS off and on again. If the fan still does
not work, shut down the R&S DVMS to prevent overheating of the R&S DVMS and
contact one of our customer support centers.
