Maintenance
The R&S
ESR does not require regular maintenance. Maintenance is essentially
restricted to cleaning the R&S
ESR. It is however advisable to check the nominal data
from time to time.
Instrument damage caused by cleaning agents
Cleaning agents contain substances such as solvents (thinners, acetone, etc.), acids,
bases, or other substances. Solvents can damage the front panel labeling, plastic
parts, or screens, for example.
Never use cleaning agents to clean the outside of the instrument. Use a soft, dry, lint-
free dust cloth instead.
The storage temperature range for the R&S
ESR is specified in the data sheet. The
instrument must be protected against dust if it is to be stored for a long period.
When transporting or shipping the instrument, it is advisable to use the original packing
material (especially the two protective covers for the front and rear panel).
