Risk of instrument damage due to overheating
An insufficient airflow can cause the R&S
RTC1000 to overheat, which can
impair the measurement results, disturb the operation, and even cause
damage.
●
Ensure that all fan openings are unobstructed and that the airflow perfo-
rations are unimpeded. The minimum distance to a wall is 10 cm.
●
When placing several instruments side by side, keep a minimum dis-
tance of 20 cm between the instruments. Ensure that the instruments do
not draw in the preheated air from their neighbors.
●
When mounting the instrument in a rack, observe the instructions of the
rack manufacturer to ensure sufficient airflow and avoid overheating.
