Where do I find safety information?
Safety information is part of the product documentation. It warns you of potential dan-
gers and gives instructions on how to prevent personal injury or damage caused by
dangerous situations. Safety information is provided as follows:
●
In Section 1.1, "Safety instructions", on page 9. The same information is provi-
ded in many languages in printed format. The printed "Safety Instructions" for
"Mains-Powered Products, Not Heavy" (document number 1171.1771.99) are deliv-
ered with the product.
●
Throughout the documentation, safety instructions are provided when you need to
take care during setup or operation.

Never open the casing of the product. Only service personnel authorized by
Rohde & Schwarz are allowed to repair the product. If any part of the product is dam-
aged or broken, stop using the product. Contact Rohde & Schwarz customer support at
https://www.rohde-schwarz.com/support.
Lifting and carrying the product
The maximum weight of the product is provided in the specifications document. You
can lift or carry the product by yourself, if you can manage the weight on your own.
Alternatively, you can use lifting or transporting equipment. Follow the instructions pro-
vided by the equipment manufacturer.
Choosing the operating site
Only use the product indoors. The product casing is not waterproof. Water that enters
can electrically connect the casing with live parts, which can lead to electric shock,
serious personal injury or death if you touch the casing.
If Rohde & Schwarz provides accessories designed for outdoor use of your product,
e.g. a protective cover, you can use the product outdoors.
You can operate the product up to an altitude of 2000 m above sea level. If a higher
altitude is permissible, the value is provided in the specifications document. The prod-
uct is suitable for pollution degree 2 environments where nonconductive contamination
can occur. For more information on environmental conditions such as ambient temper-
ature and humidity, see the specifications document.
Setting up the product
Always place the product on a stable, flat and level surface with the bottom of the prod-
uct facing down. If the product is designed for different positions, secure the product so
that it cannot fall over.
If the product has foldable feet, always fold the feet completely in or out to ensure sta-
bility. The feet can collapse if they are not folded out completely or if the product is
moved without lifting it. The foldable feet are designed to carry the weight of the prod-
uct, but not an extra load.
If stacking is possible, keep in mind that a stack of products can fall over and cause
injury.
If you mount products in a rack, ensure that the rack has sufficient load capacity and
stability. Observe the specifications of the rack manufacturer. Always install the prod-
ucts from the bottom shelf to the top shelf so that the rack stands securely. Secure the
product so that it cannot fall off the rack.
Connecting the product
Before connecting the interfaces or measuring inputs of the product to other products
or electrical circuits, make sure that the other products or electrical circuits provide
special protection against electric shock. This protection principle is referred to as
SELV (safety extra-low voltage) and is based on a low voltage level and increased
insulation. Exceptions are indicated by a measurement category on the product and
given in the specifications document.

Connecting to power
The product is an overvoltage category II product. Connect the product to a fixed
installation used to supply energy-consuming equipment such as household applian-
ces and similar loads. Keep in mind that electrically powered products have risks, such
as electric shock, fire, personal injury or even death. Replace parts that are relevant to
safety only by original parts, e.g. power cables or fuses.
