●
Only use intact cables and route them carefully so that they cannot be dam-
aged. Check the power cables regularly to ensure that they are undamaged.
Also ensure that nobody can trip over loose cables.
●
If the product needs an external power supply, use the power supply that is
delivered with the product or that is recommended in the product documenta-
tion or a power supply that conforms to the country-specific regulations.
●
Ensure that you can disconnect the product from the power source at any
time. Pull the power plug to disconnect the product. The power plug must be
easily accessible. If the product is integrated into a system that does not meet
these requirements, provide an easily accessible circuit breaker at the system
level.
Performing measurements
Take the following measures for your safety:
●
To ascertain voltage-free state, use an appropriate voltage tester. Any mea-
surement setup including an oscilloscope is not suitable for this purpose.
●
The maximum input voltage on channel inputs and the external trigger input
must not exceed the value specified in the data sheet.
●
Observe all voltage and current ratings of the instrument, the probes, and the
accessories. Limits and ratings are marked on the products and listed in the
data sheets.
Consider that the rated voltage depends on the frequency. The voltage limita-
tion curves or values are provided in the data sheet. Do not exceed the maxi-
mum measurement voltage from the probe tip to the probe reference lead.
●
Never cause any short circuits when measuring sources with high output cur-
rents.
●
Use only probes and accessories that comply with the measurement category
(CAT) of your measurement task. The measurement category of the products
is defined in the data sheet. If you use other than Rohde
&
Schwarz accesso-
ries, make sure that they are suitable for the instrument and the measurement
task.
●
Set the correct attenuation factor on the instrument according to the probe
being used. Otherwise, the measurement results do not reflect the actual volt-
age level, and you might misjudge the actual risk.
●
When working with high voltages and current probes, observe the additional
operating conditions specified in this safety instructions.
●
The probe pins are extremely pointed and can easily penetrate clothes and
the skin. Handle the probe pins with great care. To exchange a probe pin, use
