User Manual 1801.6687.02 ─ 05
Measuring accessories
Use only probes and measuring accessories that comply with IEC
61010-031.
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 devices.
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.

Connecting to power
For safety information, see
"Connecting to power and grounding"
The R&S
RTO6 can be used with different AC power voltages and adapts itself auto-
matically to it.
The nominal ranges are:
●
100 V to 240 V AC at 50 Hz to 60 Hz and 400 Hz, with maximal 10% voltage fluctu-
ation on line
●
max. 6.2 A to 4.1 A
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.
The required ratings are listed next to the AC power connector and in the data
sheet.
3.1.7
Switching on or off
The instrument is switched on or off with the power switch and the [Power] key. The
[Power] key is located in the bottom left corner of the front panel. The power switch is
located at the rear panel of the instrument.
