Risk of injury and instrument damage
The instrument is not rated for any measurement category. When measur-
ing in circuits with transient overvoltages of category II, III or IV circuits,
make sure that no such overvoltages reach the R&S
RTC1000 input.
Therefore, use only probes that comply with DIN EN 61010-031. When
measuring in category II, III or IV circuits, always insert a probe that appro-
priately reduces the voltage so that no transient overvoltages higher than
200
V
(peak) are applied to the instrument. For detailed information, refer to
the documentation and safety information of the probe manufacturer.
Explanation: According to section AA.2.4 of EN 61010-2-030, measuring
circuits without any measurement category are intended for measurements
on circuits which are not directly connected to the mains.
Logic probe (9)
The connector for logic channels can be used if the Mixed Signal Option
R&S
RTC-B1 is installed. The option provides a logical probe with 8 digital chan-
nels (D0 to D7).
The maximum input voltage is 40 V (peak) at 100 kΩ input impedance. The maxi-
mum input frequency for a signal with the minimum input voltage swing and
medium hysteresis of 800 mV (Vpp) is 300
MHz.
Risk of instrument damage
Use the connector for the active logic probe exclusively for the logic probe
R&S
RT-ZL03, which is delivered with option R&S
RTC-B1. Connecting
other probe types can demolish the input.
