1 Safety information
The product documentation helps you use the product safely and efficiently. Fol-
low the instructions provided here and in the following chapters.
Intended use
The R&S EVSG1000 is a signal level and modulation analyzer to be used on the
ground. It performs measurements on instrument landing systems (ILS), ground-
based augmentation systems (GBAS), very high frequency omnidirectional range
(VOR) and marker beacon ground stations. It analyzes air traffic control commu-
nications (ATC COM) signals measured during startup, maintenance and servic-
ing. The portable, robust design and the integrated battery allow for network-inde-
pendent measurements also outdoors.
Use the product only for its designated purpose. Observe the operating conditions
and performance limits stated in the data sheet.
Target audience
The R&S EVSG1000 and its documentation is targeted at air navigation service
providers (ANSP), ground inspection service providers, national authorities for air
traffic control, and manufacturers and airport technicians for ILS, GBAS and VOR
ground equipment. Users require basic knowledge of ILS, GBAS and VOR
ground equipment, as well as the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)
specifications in document 8071, annex 10.
Where do I find safety information?
Safety information is part of the product documentation. It warns you of potential
dangers and gives instructions on how to prevent personal injury or damage
caused by dangerous situations. Safety information is provided as follows:
●In Chapter 1.1, "Safety instructions", on page 8. The same information is
provided in many languages as printed "Safety Instructions". The printed
"Safety Instructions" are delivered with the product.
●Throughout the documentation, safety instructions are provided when you

provided in the data sheet. If the product casing is not waterproof, use an ade-
quate weather protection to carry the product outdoors with you.
When using the product in a vehicle or aircraft, make sure that the product is
properly secured. If stacking is possible, secure the whole stack of products so
that they cannot fall over and cause injury.

matic loads; see the data sheet.
Due to their exposed location, mobile communications systems are at risk of
damage from lightning. This also poses a risk to persons nearby. Vehicles carry-
ing mobile communications systems require an electrically conductive body, a
grounded antenna and also equipotential bonding that includes the cables routed
into the vehicle.

Connecting to power
The product runs on DC voltage. For the specifications of the supply voltage for
the product, refer to the data sheet. Under normal conditions, contact with DC
voltage in this range poses a low risk of electric shock.
Take the following measures for your safety:
●If you connect the product to an external power supply, use one recommen-
ded in the product documentation.
●Before switching on the product, ensure that the voltage and frequency indica-
ted on the product match the available power source.
●Only use intact cables and route them carefully so that they cannot be dam-
aged. Also ensure that nobody can trip over loose cables.
Handling batteries safely
The product contains exchangeable or built-in lithium polymer or lithium ion cells
or batteries. The use of the word battery in the following always means all types.
Only the battery contents are potentially hazardous. As long as a battery is
undamaged and the seals remain intact, there is no danger.
Impact, shock or heat can cause damage such as dents, punctures and other
deformations. A damaged battery poses a risk of personal injury. Handle a dam-
aged or leaking battery with extreme care. Immediately ventilate the area since
the battery releases harmful gases. If you come into contact with the battery fluid,
immediately remove all contaminated clothing. Irritation can occur if the battery
fluid comes in contact with your skin or eyes. Immediately and thoroughly rinse
your skin or eyes with water and seek medical aid.
For safe handling, follow these rules:
●Do not short-circuit the battery.
●Do not mechanically damage the battery. Do not open or disassemble the bat-
tery.
●Do not expose the battery to high temperatures such as open flames, hot sur-
faces and sunlight.
●Only use the battery with the designated Rohde & Schwarz product.
●Only use the appropriate Rohde & Schwarz charger to charge the batteries. If
the batteries are improperly charged, there is a risk of explosion. For charging
and discharging temperature ranges, see the product documentation.
●Replace exchangeable batteries only with the same battery type.
●Store the battery in the product or use the product packaging.

●Dispose of exchangeable batteries separately from normal household waste
as specified by the local waste disposal agency.
If you disregard these rules, you risk serious personal injury or even death due to
explosion, fire or hazardous chemical substances. The product documentation
provides further details.
If exchangeable batteries or products with built-in batteries are defective, contact
the Rohde & Schwarz customer service. Rohde & Schwarz classifies the severity
of the defect. When returning batteries or Rohde & Schwarz products containing
batteries, use a carrier qualified to transport dangerous goods and notify the car-
rier of this classification. Follow the carrier’s transport stipulations in line with
IATA-DGR, IMDG-Code, ADR or RID.
Using headphones
Take the following measures to prevent hearing damage. Before using head-
phones, check the volume and reduce it if necessary. If you monitor varying sig-
nal levels, take off the headphones and wait until the signal has settled. Then
adjust the volume.
Meaning of safety labels
Safety labels on the product warn against potential hazards.
