2.3.2 Setting Up the Instrument
The instrument is intended for indoor use. It can either be set up as a separate unit or
mounted in a 19" rack.
The following ambient conditions at the location must be ensured:
●
The ambient temperature must comply with the range specified in the data sheet.
●
All fan openings must be clear, and the airflow at the openings of the side walls
must not be impeded. The distance to the wall must be at least 10
cm.
Possible damage from electrostatic discharge
Electrical discharges can damage components of the instrument or a connected device
under test.
For this reason, the instrument may be operated only at a workplace that is protected
against electrostatic discharge.
The following methods can be used separately or in combination to protect against
electrostatic discharges:
●
Protective armband with grounding cable
●
Conductive floor covering combined with use of a heel grounder
EMI Suppression
To suppress electromagnetic interference (EMI), the instrument may be operated only
if it is closed and all covers are in place. The EMC class is listed on the data sheet.
The following conditions must be maintained to avoid interference:
●
Use suitable double-shielded cables that are no longer than 3 m.
●
Use only USB cables that are no longer than 1 m.
●
Use only USB devices that adhere to the permissible EMC values.
●
Terminate the outputs and cables with 50
Ω
.
●
Use only the cables R&S UP-Z2, R&S UP-Z3 and R&S UP-Z4 for the digital interfa-
ces.
●
Use the cable R&S UP-Z8A for the analog interface of option R&S UPP-B8, and
cable R&S UP-Z8D for the digital interface.
●
Use only doubled shielded CAT6 or CAT7 cables for the LAN interface.
