Packing material
Retain the original packing material. If the instrument needs to be transported or ship-
ped later, you can use the material to protect the control elements and connectors.
Risk of injury and damage during transportation and shipment
Insufficient protection against mechanical and electrostatic effects during transportation
and shipment can damage the instrument.
●
Always make sure that sufficient mechanical and electrostatic protection is provi-
ded.
●
When shipping an instrument, the original packaging should be used. If you do not
have the original packaging, use sufficient padding to prevent the instrument from
moving around inside the box. Pack the instrument in antistatic wrap to protect it
from electrostatic charging.
●
Secure the instrument to prevent any movement and other mechanical effects dur-
ing transportation.
The
carrying handles
at the front of the casing are designed to lift or carry the instru-
ment. Do not apply an excessive external force to the handles.
As the R&S
ZNBT
is very heavy
(over 35
kg fully equipped), it must always be carried
by two people using both carrying handles to avoid personal injury or damage to the
instrument.
Observe the information on transporting heavy instruments in the basic safety instruc-
tions included at the front of the printed manual and on the supplied CD ROM.
3.1.2 Positioning the Instrument
The network analyzer is designed for use under laboratory conditions, either on a
bench top or in a rack. Notice the general ambient conditions at the operating site
described under
"Risk of instrument damage due to inappropriate operating conditions"
Risk of electrostatic discharge
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause damage to the electronic components of the
DUT and the analyzer. ESD is most likely to occur when you connect or disconnect a
device under test (DUT) or test fixture to the analyzer's test ports.
To prevent ESD, use a wrist strap and cord and connect yourself to the ground con-
nector on the rear panel of the R&S
ZNB/ZNBT. For additional information refer to the
"Instructions for Electrostatic Discharge Protection" on the R&S
ZNB/ZNBT documen-
tation CD-ROM.
