Putting into Operation
The probe is designed for usage with oscilloscopes that have a Rohde
&
Schwarz
probe interface. Supported Rohde
&
Schwarz oscilloscopes are listed in the pro-
be's data sheet.
Read and observe the "Basic Safety Instructions" that are delivered with the
probe as a printed brochure. Also, read and observe the safety instructions of the
oscilloscope the probe is connected to.
Maximum non-destructive input voltage
The maximum non-destructive input voltage is ±30 V. A higher input voltage
can destroy the probe.
The maximum input voltage is derated for higher frequencies. Refer to the
data sheet for further information.
Risk of device damage
The R&S
RT-ZS60 can withstand a moderate amount of physical and elec-
trical stress. To avoid damage, treat the probe with care:
●
Do not exceed the specified voltage limits.
●
Connect the R&S
RT-ZS60 only to an instrument with Rohde
&
Schwarz
probe interface. Never connect it to a usual BNC jack. Although the
7
mm coaxial connector looks like a standard BNC connector, it is con-
structed differently and does not fit to the standard BNC jack. The inter-
face of the R&S
RT-ZS60 can withstand a higher frequency limit.
●
Avoid excessive strain on the probe cable, and kinking.
●
Prevent the adapter from receiving mechanical shock.
●
Do not spill liquids on the probe.
●
Store the probe in a shock-resistant case, e.g. in the foam-lined ship-
ping case.
