Observing the safety instructions will help prevent personal injury or damage of any
kind caused by dangerous situations. Therefore, carefully read through and adhere to
the following safety instructions before putting the product into operation. It is also
absolutely essential to observe the additional safety instructions on personal safety
that appear in relevant parts of the product documentation. In these safety
instructions, the word "product" refers to all merchandise sold and distributed by the
Rohde & Schwarz group of companies, including instruments, systems and all
accessories.
Tags and their meaning
DANGER This tag indicates a definite hazard carrying a high risk of death or
serious injury if not avoided.
WARNING This tag indicates a possible hazard carrying a medium risk of
death or (serious) injury if not avoided.
CAUTION This tag indicates a hazard carrying a low risk of minor or moderate
injury if not avoided.
ATTENTION This tag indicates the possibility of incorrect use that can cause
damage to the product.
NOTE This tag indicates a situation where the user should pay special
attention to operating the product but which does not lead to
damage.
These tags are in accordance with the standard definition for civil applications in the
European Economic Area. Definitions that deviate from the standard definition may
also exist in other economic areas or military applications. It is therefore essential to
make sure that the tags described here are always used only in connection with the
related product documentation and the related product. The use of tags in connection
with unrelated products or documentation can result in misinterpretation and thus
contribute to personal injury or material damage.
Basic safety instructions
1. The product may be operated only
under the operating conditions and in
the positions specified by the
manufacturer. Its ventilation must not
be obstructed during operation.
Unless otherwise specified, the
following requirements apply to
Rohde & Schwarz products:
prescribed operating position is
always with the housing floor facing
down, IP protection 2X,
pollution severity 2, overvoltage
category 2, use only in enclosed
spaces, max. operation altitude
2000 m above sea level, max.
transport altitude 4500 m above sea
level.
Unless specified otherwise in the data
sheet, a tolerance of ±10% shall
apply to the nominal voltage and of
±5% to the nominal frequency.

Safety Instructions
1171.0000.52-03.00 Sheet 3
2. Applicable local or national safety
regulations and rules for the
prevention of accidents must be
observed in all work performed. The
product may be opened only by
authorized, specially trained
personnel. Prior to performing any
work on the product or opening the
product, the product must be
disconnected from the supply
network. Any adjustments,
replacements of parts, maintenance
or repair must be carried out only by
technical personnel authorized by
Rohde & Schwarz. Only original parts
may be used for replacing parts
relevant to safety (e.g. power
switches, power transformers, fuses).
A safety test must always be
performed after parts relevant to
safety have been replaced (visual
inspection, PE conductor test,
insulation resistance measurement,
leakage current measurement,
functional test).
3. As with all industrially manufactured
goods, the use of substances that
induce an allergic reaction (allergens,
e.g. nickel) such as aluminum cannot
be generally excluded. If you develop
an allergic reaction (such as a skin
rash, frequent sneezing, red eyes or
respiratory difficulties), consult a
physician immediately to determine
the cause.
4. If products/components are
mechanically and/or thermically
processed in a manner that goes
beyond their intended use, hazardous
substances (heavy-metal dust such
as lead, beryllium, nickel) may be
released. For this reason, the product
may only be disassembled, e.g. for
disposal purposes, by specially
trained personnel. Improper
disassembly may be hazardous to
your health. National waste disposal
regulations must be observed.
5. If handling the product yields
hazardous substances or fuels that
must be disposed of in a special way,
e.g. coolants or engine oils that must
be replenished regularly, the safety
instructions of the manufacturer of the
hazardous substances or fuels and
the applicable regional waste
disposal regulations must be
observed. Also observe the relevant
safety instructions in the product
documentation.
6. Depending on the function, certain
products such as RF radio equipment
can produce an elevated level of
electromagnetic radiation.
Considering that unborn life requires
increased protection, pregnant
women should be protected by
appropriate measures. Persons with
pacemakers may also be endangered
by electromagnetic radiation. The
employer/operator is required to
assess workplaces where there is a
special risk of exposure to radiation
and, if necessary, take measures to
avert the danger.
7. Operating the products requires
special training and intense
concentration. Make certain that
persons who use the products are
physically, mentally and emotionally
fit enough to handle operating the
products; otherwise injuries or
material damage may occur. It is the
responsibility of the employer to
select suitable personnel for
operating the products.
8. Prior to switching on the product, it
must be ensured that the nominal
voltage setting on the product
matches the nominal voltage of the
AC supply network. If a different
voltage is to be set, the power fuse of
the product may have to be changed
accordingly.

1171.0000.52-03.00 Sheet 4
9. In the case of products of safety class
I with movable power cord and
connector, operation is permitted only
on sockets with earthing contact and
protective earth connection.
10.Intentionally breaking the protective
earth connection either in the feed
line or in the product itself is not
permitted. Doing so can result in the
danger of an electric shock from the
product. If extension cords or
connector strips are implemented,
they must be checked on a regular
basis to ensure that they are safe to
use.
11.If the product has no power switch for
disconnection from the AC supply,
the plug of the connecting cable is
regarded as the disconnecting
device. In such cases, it must be
ensured that the power plug is easily
reachable and accessible at all times
(corresponding to the length of
connecting cable, approx. 2 m).
Functional or electronic switches are
not suitable for providing
disconnection from the AC supply. If
products without power switches are
integrated in racks or systems, a
disconnecting device must be
provided at the system level.
12.Never use the product if the power
cable is damaged. Check the power
cable on a regular basis to ensure
that it is in proper operating condition.
By taking appropriate safety
measures and carefully laying the
power cable, ensure that the cable
cannot be damaged and that no one
can be hurt by e.g. tripping over the
cable or suffering an electric shock.
13.The product may be operated only
from TN/TT supply networks fused
with max. 16 A (higher fuse only after
consulting with the Rohde & Schwarz
group of companies).
14.Do not insert the plug into sockets
that are dusty or dirty. Insert the plug
firmly and all the way into the socket.
Otherwise, this can result in sparks,
fire and/or injuries.
15.Do not overload any sockets,
extension cords or connector strips;
doing so can cause fire or electric
shocks.
16.For measurements in circuits with
voltages Vrms > 30 V, suitable
measures (e.g. appropriate
measuring equipment, fusing, current
limiting, electrical separation,
insulation) should be taken to avoid
any hazards.
17.Ensure that the connections with
information technology equipment
comply with IEC 950/EN 60950.
18.Unless expressly permitted, never
remove the cover or any part of the
housing while the product is in
operation. Doing so will expose
circuits and components and can lead
to injuries, fire or damage to the
product.
19.If a product is to be permanently
installed, the connection between the
PE terminal on site and the product's
PE conductor must be made first
before any other connection is made.
The product may be installed and
connected only by a license
electrician.
20.For permanently installed equipment
without built-in fuses, circuit breakers
or similar protective devices, the
supply circuit must be fused in such a
way that suitable protection is
provided for users and products.
21.Do not insert any objects into the
openings in the housing that are not
designed for this purpose. Never pour
any liquids onto or into the housing.
This can cause short circuits inside
the product and/or electric shocks,
fire or injuries.
