Signal input and output levels
Information on signal levels is provided in the data sheet. Keep the signal levels
within the specified ranges to avoid damage to the product and connected devi-
ces.
Preventing electrostatic discharge (ESD)
Electrostatic discharge is most likely to occur when you connect or disconnect a
DUT.
►
NOTICE!
Electrostatic discharge can damage the electronic components of
the product and the device under test (DUT).
Ground yourself to prevent electrostatic discharge damage:
a) Use a wrist strap and cord to connect yourself to ground.
b) Use a conductive floor mat and heel strap combination.
During operation, if the firmware observes a serious unexpected disturbance (e.g.
due to ESD), it resets some hardware components and initiates a new alignment
to ensure proper instrument functioning. Then it restores the user settings to the
state before the disturbance.

The R&S
RTM3000 can be used with different AC power voltages and adapts
itself automatically to it.
The nominal ranges are:
●
100 V to 240 V AC at 50 Hz to 60 Hz, with maximal 10% voltage fluctuation on
line
●
1.6 A to 0.7 A
●
max. 160 W
1. Plug the AC power cable into the AC power connector on the rear panel of the
product. Only use the AC power cable delivered with the product.
2. Plug the AC power cable into a power outlet with ground contact.
