Lifting and carrying the product
The maximum weight of the product is provided in the data sheet. To move the product
safely, you can use lifting or transporting equipment such as lift trucks and forklifts. Fol-
low the instructions provided by the equipment manufacturer.
Choosing the operating site
Only use the product indoors. The product casing is not waterproof. Water that enters
can electrically connect the casing with live parts, which can lead to electric shock,
serious personal injury or death if you touch the casing. If Rohde & Schwarz provides a
carrying bag designed for your product, you can use the product outdoors.
Unless otherwise specified, you can operate the product up to an altitude of 2000 m
above sea level. The product is suitable for pollution degree 2 environments where
nonconductive contamination can occur. For more information on environmental condi-
tions such as ambient temperature and humidity, see the data sheet.
Setting up the product
Always place the product on a stable, flat and level surface with the bottom of the prod-
uct facing down. If the product is designed for different positions, secure the product so
that it cannot fall over.
If the product has foldable feet, always fold the feet completely in or out to ensure sta-
bility. The feet can collapse if they are not folded out completely or if the product is
moved without lifting it. The foldable feet are designed to carry the weight of the prod-
uct, but not an extra load.
If stacking is possible, keep in mind that a stack of products can fall over and cause
injury.
If you mount products in a rack, ensure that the rack has sufficient load capacity and
stability. Observe the specifications of the rack manufacturer. Always install the prod-
ucts from the bottom shelf to the top shelf so that the rack stands securely. Secure the
product so that it cannot fall off the rack.
Connecting to power
The product is an overvoltage category II product and has to be connected to a fixed
installation used to supply energy-consuming equipment such as household applian-
ces and similar loads. Be aware that electrically powered products have risks, such as
electric shock, fire, personal injury or even death.
Take the following measures for your safety:
●Before switching on the product, ensure that the voltage and frequency indicated
on the product match the available power source. If the power adapter does not
adjust automatically, set the correct value and check the rating of the fuse.
●If a product has an exchangeable fuse, its type and characteristics are indicated
next to the fuse holder. Before changing the fuse, switch off the instrument and dis-
connect it from the power source. How to change the fuse is described in the prod-
uct documentation.

2 Key Features
The R&S OSP-B200R and R&S OSP-B200S2 satellite system is the transparent
extension of two R&S OSP module slots via a cable connection or fiber-optic link.
Advantages of this satellite system are:
●You can operate and control RF relays "on-site" at the shortest possible distance
from other test equipment, for example in a shielded test chamber
●The non-conductive fiber-optic control link avoids electromagnetic interference
●The fiber-optic cables allow long-distance connections
●The fiber-optic cables easily feed through the shielding of anechoic chambers
Base unit required
You can operate the satellite options R&S OSP-B200R and R&S OSP-B200S2 only in
connection with one of the following base switch units:
●R&S OSP120, R&S OSP130 or R&S OSP150 (1st generation)
●R&S OSP220, R&S OSP230 or R&S OSP320 (2nd generation)

5.1 Unpacking and Checking
1. Unpack the product carefully.
2. Retain the original packing material. Use it when transporting or shipping the prod-
uct later.
3. Using the delivery notes, check the equipment for completeness.
4. Check the equipment for damage.
If the delivery is incomplete or equipment is damaged, contact Rohde & Schwarz.
5.2 Mounting the RC Module into a Base Unit
Mount the one-slot RC interface module R&S OSP-B200R into one of the R&S OSP
base switch units listed in Chapter 2, "Key Features", on page 10.
Figure 5-1: Remote-control interface module (here: model K04) mounted in base switch unit
Mounting a module is described in the user manuals of the base switch units.
We recommend connecting both interface cables of the R&S OSP-B200R to 2 internal
module busses on the R&S OSP mainboard, to enable using both slots in the satellite
unit, see Table 5-1.
A 1st-generation R&S OSP base unit provides 3 module busses. Typically, connect the
RC interface module to module buses A11 and A12. Note that you can operate only
one additional module in a 1st-generation base unit.

5.3 Mounting a Switch Module into the Satellite
If you have ordered the satellite unit R&S OSP-B200S2 together with R&S OSP switch
modules, these modules are mounted and tested in the factory.
To mount a switch module in the satellite unit later on:
1. Disconnect all cables from the satellite unit.
2. For mounting your switch module, select a slot, A (left) and B (right), ideally cov-
ered by a blank panel.
If no blank panel is available, consider removing an existing module, instead.
3. Unscrew the six Torx 8 screws from the blank panel or existing module.
Keep the screws.
4. Remove the blank panel or existing module from the satellite unit.
5. Find the flat-ribbon cable (module bus cable) in the open slot of the satellite unit.
In each slot, one 26-pin flat-ribbon cable is available. Do not cross-over the cables.
Figure 5-2: Satellite unit with slot B front panel removed
6. NOTICE! Avoid bad connector mating. The connector shape serves as protection
against reversed (180° rotated) connector mating. See also "Risk of hardware

Connect the flat-ribbon cable to the switch module’s connector.

cause damage. See also "Risk of hardware damage due to open cable ends" in the
base unit's user manual.
Clamp any non-connected flat-ribbon cable in the satellite unit, with open cable
ends pointing away from the casing.
8. Carefully insert the switch module into the slot.
9. Fix the module with the six screws.
10. Reconnect the cables to the satellite unit.
5.4 Connecting the Satellite System's Components
For the overall satellite system, make the following interface connections:
●Base unit to its integrated RC interface module R&S OSP-B200R, see Figure 5-1
●RC interface module to satellite unit R&S OSP-B200S2
– By wired link as in Figure 5-4
– By FOL as in Figure 5-5
●Only if you use FOL: power supply unit (28 V DC) to satellite unit as in Figure 5-5
●Satellite unit to its integrated switch modules, see Figure 5-2

5.4.1 Satellite System with Wired Link
Figure 5-4: Satellite system with wired link (DC), suitable for K02 and K04 models
For remote operation of the satellite unit across a distance of up to 10 m, use the cable
R&S OSP-Z200x (see Table 4-1).
Risk of equipment damage
Connect [Wired Link] to the R&S OSP-B200R remote control interface module, only.
Connecting it to any other equipment can cause damage.
In this configuration, the satellite unit R&S OSP-B200S2 is powered by the R&S OSP
base unit via the DC cable. The base unit can supply two switch modules in the satel-
lite unit, each with a maximum of 0.8 A (at 28 V DC).
