●
Always terminate open cable ends.
●
Ensure that connected external devices comply with EMC regulations.
Signal input and output levels
Information on signal levels is provided in the data sheet. Keep the signal levels
within the specified ranges to avoid damage to the R&S
FE50DTR and connected
devices.
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.
Blocking DC components
►
NOTICE!
Risk of instrument damage. DC voltage at the RF connectors can
damage the instrument.
● Never apply direct currents (DC) to the RF connectors.
Make sure that the values do not fall below the DC limits as given in the
data sheet.
● If the RF input signal has a DC component, insert a DC blocker.
