11 Maintenance
The R&S
SFE100 does not need a periodic maintenance unless it is operated in dusty
areas.
Risk of instrument damage
If the R&S
SFE100 is operated in dusty areas, the fans may become obstructed by
dust or other particles in the process of time. Make sure to check and, if necessary,
clean the fans regularly to ensure they operate properly at all times. If the
R&S
SFE100 is run with obstructed fans for a longer period, it may become overhea-
ted which may cause damage.
Clean the outside of the instrument when necessary and check the rated data from
time to time.
If any problem arises, contact one of our customer support centers. The addresses of
our customer support centers are provided at the beginning of this manual.
