The R&S QPS is heavy and can cause physical injuries when it falls or tips over.
Setup and installation must be done by trained staff. Make sure to install the R&S QPS
exactly as described in the installation manual. During the installation, make sure that
the installation site is only accessible by people working on the installation.
Because of its weight, at least two strong people are required to move or install the
scanner. Lifting heavy items can cause structural and muscular injuries. You must use
the specially designed installation tool if you have to move or lift the scanner panels
(R&S QPS-Z800, order no. 1333.5900.02). You must also use the installation tool to
install the scanner on the platform.
Using the installation tool can pinch your fingers, especially when you attach it to the
R&S QPS and when you use the levers.
Loose ball-lock pins can cause the panels to fall over during transportation. Make sure
that the ball-lock pin is seated correctly whenever you use one.
If you have to move the pallet the R&S QPS is delivered on, always use a forklift.
During transport, installation or repair, wear appropriate protective clothing that com-
plies with your local rules and regulations. If you are unsure of which equipment to use,
ask your safety inspector.

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.

3 Key Features
The R&S QPS Quick Personnel Security Scanner is a system that allows the detection
of hidden metallic and non-metallic objects that a person might carry in or underneath
their clothing.
Possible threats like weapons or explosives can be detected and measures taken
against them.
The objects are recognized by an evaluation of the reflected (backscattered) micro-
wave signal. The microwaves are of very low intensity. The signal level is several
orders of magnitude below the signal level of mobile phones. Therefore, the system
presents no health hazards for the scanned persons.
A person is scanned, front and back. The data is analyzed and evaluated by an auto-
matic detection software (algorithm).
After the evaluation, the scanned person either is cleared, or has to undergo further
investigation in the form of a manual screening. The manual screening can be per-
formed by the screener or by additional inspectors in a separate resolution station.
In case of an inadequate scan, the scan can be repeated or followed by manual
screening.

EMI Suppression
R&S®QPS201
11Getting Started 1179.3438.02 ─ 02
4 EMI Suppression
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) may affect the measurement results.
To suppress generated electromagnetic interference (EMI):
●Use suitable shielded cables of high quality. For example, use double-shielded
LAN cables.
●Always terminate open cable ends.
●Note the EMC classification in the data sheet.

System Components
R&S®QPS201
12Getting Started 1179.3438.02 ─ 02
5 System Components
The system consists of various parts.
●Two panels that contain the measuring electronics. The first panel (= primary
panel) scans the front of a person. The second panel (= secondary panel) scans
the back of a person. The primary panel controls the secondary panel, therefore
both panels must be connected to each other.
The primary panel shows the silhouette of a person. Otherwise both panels are the
same.
●A floorplate that provides a stable and even surface for the scanner.
●A touchscreen monitor to control the scanner. The touchscreen monitor is connec-
ted to the primary panel.
The images show the components of HW 3.50. The components of HW 3.30 are the
same, except for the connectors which are at a different location on the panel.
The R&S LPS is the same as a R&S QPS HW 3.50 but with 30 antenna clusters
instead of 32 in each panel.
