Tags and their meaning
DANGER DANGER indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death
or serious injury.
WARNING WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in
death or serious injury.
CAUTION CAUTION indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor
or moderate injury.
NOTICE NOTICE indicates a property damage message.
In the product documentation, the word ATTENTION is used synonymously.
These tags are in accordance with the standard defi nition for civil applications in the European
Economic Area. Defi nitions that deviate from the standard defi nition may also exist in other economic
areas or military applications. It is therefore essential to make sure that the tags described here are
always used only in connection with the related product documentation and the related product. The
use of tags in connection with unrelated products or documentation can result in misinterpretation and
thus contribute to personal injury or material damage.
Basic safety instructions
1. The product may be operated only under the
operating conditions and in the positions
specifi ed by the manufacturer. The R&S
FSH is protected against dripping water and
dust (IP degree 51). Unless otherwise
specifi ed, the following requirements apply
to Rohde & Schwarz products: prescribed
operating position is always with the housing
fl oor facing down, IP protection 2X,
pollution severity 2, overvoltage category 2,
use only in enclosed spaces, max. operation
altitude 4600 m above sea level, max.
transport altitude 12000 m above sea level.
A tolerance of ±10% shall apply to the
nominal voltage and of ±5% to the nominal
frequency.
2. Applicable local or national safety
regulations and rules for the prevention of
accidents must be observed in all work
performed. The product may be opened only
by authorized, specially trained personnel.
Prior to performing any work on the product
or opening the product, the product must be
disconnected from the supply network. Any
adjustments, replacements of parts,
maintenance or repair must be carried out
only by technical personnel authorized by
Rohde & Schwarz. Only original parts may
be used for replacing parts relevant to safety
(e.g. power switches, power transformers,
fuses, batteries). A safety test must always
be performed after parts relevant to safety
have been replaced (visual inspection, PE
conductor test, insulation resistance
measurement, leakage current
measurement, functional test).
3. As with all industrially manufactured goods,
the use of substances that induce an allergic
reaction (allergens, e.g. nickel) such as
aluminum cannot be generally excluded. If
you develop an allergic reaction (such as a
skin rash, frequent sneezing, red eyes or
respiratory diffi culties), consult a physician
immediately to determine the cause.
4. If products/components are mechanically
and/ or thermically processed in a manner
that goes beyond their intended use,
hazardous substances (heavy-metal dust
such as lead, beryllium, nickel) may be
released. For this reason, the product may
only be disassembled, e.g. for disposal
purposes, by specially trained personnel.
Improper disassembly may be hazardous to
your health. National waste disposal
regulations must be observed.
5. Depending on the function, certain products
such as RF radio equipment can produce an
elevated level of electromagnetic radiation.
Considering that unborn life requires
increased protection, pregnant women
should be protected by appropriate
measures. Persons with pacemakers may
also be endangered by electromagnetic
radiation. The employer/ operator is required
to assess workplaces where there is a
