However, you can order and mount additional modules.
Limitations in module mounting
Before you order a module, refer to
, and consult with
Rohde
&
for possible configurations.
The modules R&S
OSP-B104 and R&S
OSP-B106 must be mounted by
Rohde
&
Schwarz service personnel, as mounting these items requires opening the
switch unit's casing. If you try to mount the feedthroughs R&S
OSP-B011/R&S
OSP-
B012, but you cannot cannot feed the cables through the switch unit's casing without
opening it, let Rohde
&
Schwarz service personnel mount the feedthroughs.
The display module R&S
OSP-B300M can be mounted into the R&S
OSP320 only by
the manufacturer and only into the front panel.
If you mount the R&S
OSP-B200R for controlling any modules remotely that require
two control cables, you must connect the remote control module to two flat-ribbon con-
trol cables. If available, use the control cable of a neighboring slot. If no flat-ribbon con-
trol cable of a neighboring slot is available, contact Rohde
&
Schwarz service for
mounting it with a second control cable connected to an additional connector on the
motherboard.
Never open a switch unit
If opening is required for mounting a module into the switch unit (see
), let
Rohde
&
Schwarz service personnel mount this module.
Risk of injury during module mounting
You can mount modules that do
not require opening
the switch unit. However, mount-
ing a module requires removing at least one blank plate or a previously mounted mod-
ule, which partly opens the switch unit's casing. The electrical connection required for a
new module is via one or two low-voltage flat-ribbon module bus cables, which are
easy to reach.
Observe the following:
●
Before mounting a module, disconnect the switch unit from power.
●
Adhere to the
for module mounting.
●
Do not use pointed or sharp tools, which can damage internal components or
cables, especially their isolation. Any such damage can lead to a short and to
accessible life components inside the switch unit.
●
Avoid touching possibly life components, which can lead to electric shock.
●
Avoid touching any exposed sharp edges or points inside the switch unit, which
can lead to personal injury, especially cuts in your fingers. Consider wearing pro-
tective gloves, especially when you take module bus cables out of their clamps
behind the slot opening (see
).
●
Avoid interacting with the switch unit's interior in an unintended way, which can
lead to unpredictable situations.
●
If you drop a metal screw or a similar electrically conductive item into the switch
unit, do not turn it on before removing the item, to avoid a short.
