Installation and safetyinstructions
operated. The measuring instrument is designed for use in
a clean and dry indoor environment. Do not operate with
high dust and humidity levels, if danger of explosion exists
or with aggressive chemical agents. Any operating posi-
tion may be used; however adequate air circulation must
be maintained. For continuous operation, a horizontal or
inclined position (integrated stand) is preferable.
The maximum operating altitude for the instrument is
2000m. Nominal data with tolerance details apply once
the ambient temperature of 23 °C has been reached after
about 30 minutes. Values without tolerance details are ref-
erence values of an average instrument.
1.7 Warranty and repair
ROHDE & SCHWARZ instruments are subject to strict
quality controls. Prior to leaving the manufacturing site,
each instrument undergoes a 10-hour burn-in test. This is
followed by extensive functional quality testing to examine
all operating modes and to guarantee compliance with the
speciedtechnicaldata.Thetestingisperformedwithtest-
ing equipment that is calibrated to national standards. The
statutory warranty provisions shall be governed by the laws
of the country in which the ¸ product was purchased.
In case of any complaints, please contact your supplier.
Any adjustments, replacements of parts, maintenance
and repair may be carried out only by authorized ROHDE
& SCHWARZ technical personnel. Only original parts may
be used for replacing parts relevant to safety (e.g. power
switches, power transformers, fuses). A safety test must al-
ways be performed after parts relevant to safety have been
replaced (visual inspection, PE conductor test, insulation
resistance measurement, leakage current measurement,
functional test). This helps ensure the continued safety of
the product.
1.8 Maintenance
The display may only be cleaned with water or an ap-
propriate glass cleaner (not with alcohol or other cleaning
agents). Follow this step by rubbing the display down
with a dry, clean and lint-free cloth. Do not allow cleaning

Do not obstruct the ventilation holes!
The product may only be opened by authorized and
qualied personnel. Prior to working on the product or
before the product is opened, it must be disconnected
from the AC supply network. Otherwise, personnel will
be exposed to the risk of an electric shock.
Clean the outer case of the measuring instrument at regular in-
tervals, using a soft, lint-free dust cloth.
the power cable is damaged. Check regularly if the power
cables are in perfect condition. Choose suitable protective
measures and installation types to ensure that the power
cord cannot be damaged and that no harm is caused by
tripping hazards or from electric shock, for instance. If it
is assumed that a safe operation is no longer possible, the
instrument must be shut down and secured against any
unintended operation.
Safe operation can no longer be assumed:
in case of visible damage,
in case loose parts were noticed,
if it does not function any more,
after prolonged storage under unfavourable conditions
(e.g. like in the open or in moist atmosphere),
after rough handling during transport (e.g. packaging that
doesnotmeettheminimumrequirementsbypostofce,
railway or forwarding agency).
1.5 Intended Operation
The measuring instrument is intended only for use by
personnel familiar with the potential risks of measuring
electrical quantities. For safety reasons, the instrument may
only be connected to properly installed safety socket
outlets. Separating the grounds is prohibited. The power
plug must be inserted before signal circuits may be
connected. The product may be operated only under the
operatingconditionsandinthepositionsspeciedbythe
manufacturer, without the products ventilation being
obstructed.Ifthemanufacturersspecicationsarenot
observed,thiscanresultinelectricshock,reand/or
serious personal injury, and in some cases, death.
Applicable local or national safety regulations and rules for
the prevention of accidents must be observed in all work
performed. The measuring instrument is designed for use
in the following sectors: Industry, residential, business and
commercial areas and small businesses. The measuring
instrument is designed for indoor use only. Before each
measurement, you need to verify at a known source if the
measuring instrument functions properly.
1.6 Ambient conditions
Permissible operating temperatures during the operations
range from +5 °C to +40 °C. During storage or transporta-
tion the temperature may be between –20 °C and +70 °C.
In case of condensation during transportation or storage
, the instrument will require approximately two hours to
dry and reach the appropriate temperature. It can then be
Use the measuring instrument only with original ROHDE &
SCHWARZ measuring equipment, measuring cables and power
cord. Never use inadequately measured power cords. Before each
measurement, measuring cables must be inspected for damage
and replaced if necessary. Damaged or worn components can
damage the instrument or cause injury.
To disconnect from the mains, the low-heat device socket on the
back panel has to be unplugged.
