Risk of injury and instrument damage

The instrument is not rated for any measurement category.
Make sure that the input voltage on 

channel inputs

 does not exceed 200

peak.

When performing measurements in circuits with transient overvoltages of category II,
III or IV circuits, make sure that no such overvoltages reach the R&S

 

RTO input.

Therefore, use only probes that comply with DIN EN 61010-031. When performing
measurements in category II, III or IV circuits, it is mandatory to insert a probe that
appropriately reduces the voltage so that no transient overvoltages higher than
200

peak are applied to the instrument. For detailed information, refer to the docu-

mentation and safety information of the probe manufacturer.
Explanation: According to section AA.2.4 of EN 61010-2-030, measuring circuits with-
out any measurement category are intended for measurements on circuits which are
not connected to the mains system.

3.1.2

 

Other Front Panel Connectors

Besides the input connectors, the instrument has USB connectors and probe compen-
sation connectors at the front panel.

[USB]

Two USB type A connectors that comply with standard USB 2.0. They are used to con-
nect devices like keyboard, mouse, printer and USB flash drive.

Note: 

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) can affect the measurement results. To avoid

any impact, do not use USB connecting cables exceeding 1

 

m.

Probe Compensation

Probe compensation terminal to support adjustment of passive probes to the oscillo-
scope channel.

Protective earth conductor for grounding the instrument.

Ground connector for probes.

[Aux Out]

Output of the internal calibration signal, if the signal is configured to external destina-
tion.
