Safety Information
Safety information is part of the product documentation. It warns you about the poten-
tial dangers and gives instructions how to prevent personal injury or damage caused
by dangerous situations. Safety information is provided as follows:
●
The printed "Basic Safety Instructions" in different languages are delivered with the
product.
●
Throughout the documentation, safety instructions are provided when you need to
take care during setup or operation.
Also, read and observe the safety instructions of the oscilloscope to which the adapter
is connected.
Risk of shock hazard and injury
To avoid electric shock and personal injury, observe the following instructions:
●
The adapter and the measurement instrument must be grounded. Grounding is
typically ensured through the grounding of the measurement instrument to which
the adapter is connected.
●
Always connect the adapter to the oscilloscope first before connecting a probe to
the adapter and to the circuit under test.
●
Do not apply voltages higher than the maximum rated voltage, see the imprint on
the adapter.
●
When using the adapter in combination with a passive probe that can measure vol-
tages higher than the maximum rated input voltage of the adapter (e.g. R&S
RT-
ZP10): Observe the maximum rated voltage of the probe.
●
Do not operate the adapter if any part is damaged, or with suspected failures. If
you detect or suspect any damage to the adapter or probe, have it inspected by
qualified service personnel.
