1 About this Manual
This manual is part of the documentation for the SCV8000 family of transmitters from
Rohde & Schwarz. The individual manuals of the family of transmitters are modular in struc-
ture and complement each other.
Structure
Each transmitter component is described in a separate manual and can thus be used as an
individual component (where practical). The transmitter manual is the main document for
the entire set of documentation. It describes all steps that are necessary to install a trans-
mitter, put it into operation, operate and maintain it. Where applicable, the transmitter man-
ual refers to the individual manuals for the various components. The component manuals,
in turn, also refer to the transmitter manual whenever the component is to be used as a
transmitter module.
Contents
The manuals for the family of transmitters describe all steps required to install the transmit-
ter or one of its components, put them into operation, operate and maintain them, trouble-
shoot and service them. The Annex includes interface descriptions plus technical
documents.
For convenience, all manuals are structured identically. Sections that are not relevant to the
manual at hand are also included but are left blank.
Safety
All skilled personnel working with a transmitter or its components must read all relevant
manuals and comply with the safety measures that are detailed in the chapter about safety
and in the applicable sections in the manual. The transmitter and the individual transmitter
components must be used only for their intended purpose. All operations involving the
transmitter or individual transmitter components must be performed by skilled personnel.
The manual will point out specifically if additional qualifications are required.
Symbols and Layout
The triangular warning symbol indicates danger. In addition to the triangular warning sym-
bol, different key words indicate the level of potential danger.
Instructions are given in numbered steps or indicated by an "index finger" symbol to the left
of the instruction text. The results of the performed instructions are indented.
The key word "Note" precedes notes. Notes contain additional information and tips to help
facilitate the work at hand.
All other formatting options add structure to the text and are self-explanatory.

2 Safety Instructions for Transmitter Systems
and Instruments
Pay special attention to the following points:
Only skilled personnel may perform electrical installation and electrical connection
tasks.
Always follow the relevant national and international safety rules and regulations when
equipping operating areas and when setting up and operating electrical equipment.
These rules and regulations include for example:
– Protective measures to prevent accidents
– Protective measures to prevent overvoltage
– Insulation status of electrical equipment
– Grounding of electrical equipment
– Physical properties and laying of electric lines and cables
– Regulations applying to industrial premises and areas as well as to special facilities.
When setting up the rack, observe the country-specific rules for accident prevention, for
example with regard to:
– Risk of getting crushed when working with loads suspended in the air
– Risk of falling off ladders
– Risk of injury when lifting heavy objects.
Use your personal protective equipment for installation and repair work, i.e. wear pro-
tective clothing such as helmets, safety gloves and eye protection, depending on the
task at hand.
Operate the equipment and systems only when the cabinet is closed. If you have to open
the cabinet for maintenance and repair work, comply with the applicable safety instruc-
tions.
If the equipment and systems are removed from the AC power supply, all poles must be
disconnected. Check for and remove any external power supply, i.e. all measuring ca-
bles, extension cables, multiple socket outlets (except for special service sockets). Wait
for five minutes to ensure that any and all capacitors are sufficiently discharged.
Additionally with liquid-cooled transmitters:When filling and installing the cooling system
(pump unit and heat-exchanger unit), observe the rules for handling hazardous sub-
stances (cooling agents); see section "safety data sheets about hazardous substances"
under "EU safety data sheet in accordance with 2001/58/EC Antifrogen".
ATTENTION!
The safety instructions provided in this manual must be complied with!
