Safety Instructions
The R&S
QAR Quality Automotive Radome Tester is manufactured according to the
highest technical standards. To use the scanner safely, follow the instructions provided
here and throughout the product documentation. Keep the documentation nearby and
offer it to other users.
Use the R&S
QAR only as intended and within its performance limits. The limits are
described in the product documentation, such as the data sheet, manuals and this bro-
chure. If you are unsure about the appropriate use, contact the Rohde
&
Schwarz cus-
tomer service.
Using the R&S
QAR requires specialists or specially trained personnel. The operators
also need sound knowledge of at least one of the languages in which the user interface
and the product documentation are available.
If any part of the product is damaged or broken, stop using the product. Never open
the casing of the R&S
QAR or its components. Only service personnel authorized by
Rohde
&
Schwarz are allowed to repair the product.
Lifting, carrying and installing the R&S
QAR
The R&S
QAR is heavy and can cause physical injuries when it falls or tips over.
The R&S
QAR must be installed and set up by trained staff. When you carry, lift or
move the R&S
QAR, use the carrying handles on the back side of the R&S
QAR. Dur-
ing the installation, make sure that the installation site is only accessible to people
working on the installation. Hold the R&S
QAR into position until all screws are tight to
prevent it from falling over.
Because of its weight, at least two strong people are required to move or install the
R&S
QAR.
If you have to move the pallet the R&S
QAR is delivered on, always use a forklift.
During transport, installation or repair, wear appropriate protective clothing that com-
plies with your local rules and regulations. If you are unsure of which equipment to use,
ask your safety inspector.
We recommend to wear:
●
Safety shoes with toe cap and ESD protection.
●
Protective gloves
ESD protected shoes and gloves also protect the hardware from being damaged.
Choosing the operating site
Use the R&S
QAR only indoors. The R&S
QAR is not waterproof and water that enters
can electrically connect the casing with live parts. This can lead to electric shock, seri-
ous personal injury or death if you touch the casing.
For more information on environmental operating conditions, such as ambient temper-
ature, and humidity, see the data sheet.
