Operation
●
Operating the products requires special training and intense concentration. Make sure that
persons who use the products are physically, mentally and emotionally fit enough to do so;
otherwise, injuries or material damage may occur. It is the responsibility of the employer/
operator to select suitable personnel for operating the products.
●
As with all industrially manufactured goods, the use of substances that induce an allergic
reaction (allergens) such as nickel cannot be generally excluded. If you develop an allergic
reaction (such as a skin rash, frequent sneezing, red eyes or respiratory difficulties) when
using a Rohde & Schwarz product, consult a physician immediately to determine the cause
and to prevent health problems or stress.
●
Before you start processing the product mechanically and/or thermally, or before you take it
apart, be sure to read and pay special attention to the section titled "Waste disposal/Envi-
ronmental protection", item 1.
●
Depending on the function, certain products such as RF radio equipment can produce an
elevated level of electromagnetic radiation. Considering that unborn babies require increased
protection, pregnant women must be protected by appropriate measures. Persons with pace-
makers may also be exposed to risks from electromagnetic radiation. The employer/operator
must evaluate workplaces where there is a special risk of exposure to radiation and, if nec-
essary, take measures to avert the potential danger.
●
Should a fire occur, the product may release hazardous substances (gases, fluids, etc.) that
can cause health problems. Therefore, suitable measures must be taken, e.g. protective
masks and protective clothing must be worn.
●
EMC classes (in line with CISPR 11)
Class A: Equipment suitable for use in all environments except residential environments and
environments that are directly connected to a low-voltage supply network that supplies resi-
dential buildings.
Class B: Equipment suitable for use in residential environments and environments that are
directly connected to a low-voltage supply network that supplies residential buildings.
Repair and service
●
The product may be opened only by authorized, specially trained personnel. Before any work
is performed on the product or before the product is opened, it must be disconnected from
the AC supply network. Otherwise, personnel will be exposed to the risk of an electric shock.
●
Adjustments, replacement of parts, maintenance and repair may be performed only by elec-
trical experts 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,
protective conductor test, insulation resistance measurement, leakage current measurement,
functional test). This helps ensure the continued safety of the product.
