The test ensures that the interlocks are functioning properly. See Chapter 6.7,
"Testing Safety Systems" , on page 41.
Yearly safety check
This check is restricted to Rohde & Schwarz service personnel .
Due to normal wear, the performance of any system can degrade over time. This per-
formance degradation can also impair system safety. To prevent any risks, we recom-
mend a regular safety and performance check of the chamber once a year.
8.3 Preparing the Chamber for Maintenance
Before carrying out any of the maintenance tasks described in Chapter 8.4, "Perform-
ing Maintenance Tasks" , on page 66, perform the following steps.
1. Make sure that nobody uses the chamber during maintenance.
Take the steps stipulated at your company to prevent use of the chamber.
2. Open the door; see Chapter 7.3.3, "Opening the Door" , on page 46.
3. Deactivate the chamber as described in Chapter 7.2, "Deactivating the Chamber" ,
on page 43.
Deactivation prevents any positioner movement that can lead to injuries during
maintenance activities.
4. If you need to move the chamber to a different location for maintenance, follow the
instructions in Chapter 5.1, "Moving the Chamber" , on page 29.
