ThinkRF R5750 Real Time Signal Analyzer User Guide 

Installing the ThinkRF R5750 

 

Ensure that you read and understand the following information about safety and 
electrostatic discharge before you unpack and install the R5750 device. 

 

Warning

: Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install or replace this 

equipment. Read the installation instructions before you connect the system to its power 
source. 

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage 

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) is a single-event, rapid transfer of electrostatic charge 
between two objects, such as an operator and a piece of electrical equipment. ESD can 
occur when a high electrostatic field develops between two objects in close proximity. 
ESD occurs when electronic components are improperly handled and is one of the major 
causes of device failures in the semiconductor industry. 

Electrostatic discharge is more likely to occur with the combination of synthetic fibers and 
dry atmosphere. Always follow these steps to prevent ESD. 

 

Warning

: Never open the front or rear panels of the R5750 as personal injury may result 

and opening the chassis will void the warranty. There are no user-serviceable parts 
inside. Always contact ThinkRF support for service through the online support form at 

http://www.thinkrf.com/support/

 

Caution

:  To prevent ESD, wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap that you provide, ensuring 

that it makes good skin contact. 

 

Caution

:  Do not touch any exposed contact pins or connector shells of interface ports 

that do not have a cable attached. If cables are connected at one end only, do not touch 
the exposed pins at the unconnected end of the cable.
