ing the installation, make sure that the installation site is only accessible to people
working on the installation. Hold the R&S
QAR into position until all screws are tight to
prevent it from falling over.
Because of its weight, at least two strong people are required to move or install the
R&S
QAR.
If you have to move the pallet the R&S
QAR is delivered on, always use a forklift.
During transport, installation or repair, wear appropriate protective clothing that com-
plies with your local rules and regulations. If you are unsure of which equipment to use,
ask your safety inspector.
We recommend to wear:
●
Safety shoes with toe cap and ESD protection.
●
Protective gloves
ESD protected shoes and gloves also protect the hardware from being damaged.
Choosing the operating site
Use the R&S
QAR only indoors. The R&S
QAR is not waterproof and water that enters
can electrically connect the casing with live parts. This can lead to electric shock, seri-
ous personal injury or death if you touch the casing.
For more information on environmental operating conditions, such as ambient temper-
ature, and humidity, see the data sheet.
Installing cables
A R&S
QAR installation consisting of the R&S
QAR, monitor and transmitter module
requires cable connections (power cables, LAN cables etc.). Make sure to secure all
cables on the floor and cover them up.
Loose cables are a tripping hazard. Tripping on cables can cause physical injuries.
Properly covered cables also minimize the risk of cable damage.
Supplying the R&S
QAR with power
Always complete all connections (LAN, USB etc.) before connecting the R&S
QAR to
the power supply. Otherwise, the R&S
QAR can get damaged.
You can connect the R&S
QAR to the power distribution system normally used to sup-
ply energy-consuming equipment, such as household appliances and similar loads.
Electrically powered products have risks, such as electric shock, fire, personal injury or
even death.
Take the following measures for your safety:
●
Only use the power cable delivered with the R&S
QAR. It complies with country-
specific safety requirements. Only insert the plug into an approved grounded outlet.
●
For components that need an external AC adapter, only use the one that is deliv-
ered with the components.
●
Only use intact cables and route them carefully so that they cannot be damaged.
Check the power cables regularly to ensure that they are undamaged.
