Grouped Safety Messages
12. Never use the product if the power cable
is damaged. Check the power cable on
a regular basis to ensure that it is in
proper operating condition. By taking
appropriate safety measures and
carefully laying the power cable, ensure
that the cable cannot be damaged and
that no one can be hurt by e.g. tripping
over the cable or suffering an electric
shock.
13. The product may be operated only from
TN/TT supply networks fused with max.
16 A (higher fuse only after consulting
with the Rohde & Schwarz group of
companies).
14. Do not insert the plug into sockets that
are dusty or dirty. Insert the plug firmly
and all the way into the socket.
Otherwise, this can result in sparks, fire
and/or injuries.
15. Do not overload any sockets, extension
cords or connector strips; doing so can
cause fire or electric shocks.
16. For measurements in circuits with
voltages V
rms
> 30 V, suitable measures
(e.g. appropriate measuring equipment,
fusing, current limiting, electrical
separation, insulation) should be taken
to avoid any hazards.
17. Ensure that the connections with
information technology equipment
comply with IEC 950/EN 60950.
18. Unless expressly permitted, never
remove the cover or any part of the
housing while the product is in
operation. Doing so will expose circuits
and components and can lead to
injuries, fire or damage to the product.
19. If a product is to be permanently
installed, the connection between the PE
terminal on site and the product's PE
conductor must be made first before any
other connection is made. The product
may be installed and connected only by
a license electrician.
20. For permanently installed equipment
without built-in fuses, circuit breakers or
similar protective devices, the supply
circuit must be fused in such a way that
suitable protection is provided for users
and products.
21. Do not insert any objects into the
openings in the housing that are not
designed for this purpose. Never pour
any liquids onto or into the housing. This
can cause short circuits inside the
product and/or electric shocks, fire or
injuries.
22. Use suitable overvoltage protection to
ensure that no overvoltage (such as that
caused by a thunderstorm) can reach
the product. Otherwise the operating
personnel will be endangered by electric
shocks.
23. Rohde & Schwarz products are not
protected against penetration of liquids,
unless otherwise specified (see also
safety instruction 1.). If this is not taken
into account, there exists the danger of
electric shock for the user or damage to
the product, which can also lead to
personal injury.
24. Never use the product under conditions
in which condensation has formed or
can form in or on the product, e.g. if the
product was moved from a cold to a
warm environment.
25. Do not close any slots or openings on
the product, since they are necessary for
ventilation and prevent the product from
overheating. Do not place the product on
soft surfaces such as sofas or rugs or
inside a closed housing, unless this is
well ventilated.
26. Do not place the product on heat-
generating devices such as radiators or
fan heaters. The temperature of the
environment must not exceed the
maximum temperature specified in the
data sheet.
27. Batteries and storage batteries must not
be exposed to high temperatures or fire.
Keep batteries and storage batteries
away from children. Do not short-circuit
batteries and storage batteries.
If batteries or storage batteries are
improperly replaced, this can cause an
explosion (warning: lithium cells).
