Preventing electrostatic discharge (ESD)
Electrostatic discharge is most likely to occur when you connect or disconnect a
DUT.
►
NOTICE!
Risk of electrostatic discharge. Electrostatic discharge can damage
the electronic components of the product and the device under test (DUT).
Ground yourself to prevent electrostatic discharge damage:
a) Use a wrist strap and cord to connect yourself to ground.
b) Use a conductive floor mat and heel strap combination.
During operation, if the firmware observes a serious unexpected disturbance (e.g.
due to ESD), it resets some hardware components and initiates a new alignment
to ensure proper instrument functioning. Then it restores the user settings to the
state before the disturbance.

Connecting to power
For safety information, see
"Connecting to power and grounding"
The R&S
RTE can be used with different AC power voltages and adapts itself
automatically to it.
The nominal ranges are:
●
100 V to 240 V AC at 50 Hz to 60 Hz and 400 Hz, with maximal 10% voltage
fluctuation on line
●
max. 3.3 A to 1.5 A
1. Plug the AC power cable into the AC power connector on the rear panel of the
product. Only use the AC power cable delivered with the product.
2. Plug the AC power cable into a power outlet with ground contact.
The required ratings are listed next to the AC power connector and in the data
sheet.
