Putting into Operation
The probe is designed for usage with oscilloscopes that have a Rohde
&
Schwarz
probe interface. Supported Rohde
&
Schwarz oscilloscopes are listed in the pro-
be's data sheet.
Read and observe the printed "Basic Safety Instructions" that are delivered with
the probe. Also, read and observe the safety instructions of the oscilloscope the
probe is connected to.
Maximum non-destructive input voltage
The maximum non-destructive input voltage is ±30 V. A higher input voltage
can destroy the probe.
Risk of device damage
The R&S
RT-ZM can withstand a moderate amount of physical and electri-
cal stress. To avoid damage, treat the probe with care:
●
Do not exceed the specified voltage limits.
●
Connect the R&S
RT-ZM only to an instrument with Rohde
&
Schwarz
probe interface. Never connect it to a usual BNC jack. Although the
7
mm coaxial connector looks like a standard BNC connector, it is con-
structed differently and does not fit to the standard BNC jack. The inter-
face of the R&S
RT-ZM can withstand a higher frequency limit.
●
Handle the probe by the probe tip module or probe box.
●
Handle the probe by the probe head or probe box. Avoid excessive
strain on the probe cable, and kinking.
●
Prevent the probe from receiving mechanical shock.
●
Do not spill liquids on the probe.
●
Store the probe in a shock-resistant case, e.g. in the foam-lined ship-
ping case.
