special risk of exposure to radiation and, if
necessary, take measures to avert the
danger.
6. Operating the products requires special
training and intense concentration. Make
certain that persons who use the products
are physically, mentally and emotionally fi t
enough to handle operating the products;
otherwise injuries or material damage may
occur. It is the responsibility of the employer
to select suitable personnel for operating the
products.
7. Prior to switching on the product, it must be
ensured that the nominal voltage setting on
the power supply matches the nominal
voltage of the AC supply network.
8. If the product has no power switch for
disconnection from the AC supply, the plug
of the connecting cable is regarded as the
disconnecting device. In such cases, it must
be ensured that the power plug is easily
reachable and accessible at all times
(corresponding to the length of connecting
cable, approx. 2 m). Functional or electronic
switches are not suitable for providing
disconnection from the AC supply. If
products without power switches are
integrated in racks or systems, a
disconnecting device must be provided at
the system level.
9. Never use the product if the power cable is
damaged. Check the power cable on a
regular basis to ensure that it is in proper
operating condition. By taking appropriate
safety measures and carefully laying the
power cable, ensure that the cable cannot
be damaged and that no one can be hurt by
e.g. tripping over the cable or suffering an
electric shock.
10. The product may be operated only from
TN/TT supply networks fused with max. 16
A (higher fuse only after consulting with the
Rohde & Schwarz group of companies).
11. Do not insert the plug into sockets that are
dusty or dirty. Insert the plug fi rmly and all
the way into the socket. Otherwise, this can
result in sparks, fi re and/or injuries.
12. Do not overload any sockets, extension
cords or connector strips; doing so can
cause fi re or electric shocks.
13. For measurements in circuits with voltages
Vrms > 30 V, suitable measures (e.g.
appropriate measuring equipment, fusing,
current limiting, electrical separation,
insulation) should be taken to avoid any
hazards.
14. Ensure that the connections with information
technology equipment comply with IEC
950/EN 60950.
15. Unless expressly permitted, never remove
the cover or any part of the housing while
the product is in operation. Doing so will
expose circuits and components and can
lead to injuries, fi re or damage to the
product.
16. For permanently installed equipment without
built-in fuses, circuit breakers or similar
protective devices, the supply circuit must
be fused in such a way that suitable
protection is provided for users and
products.
17. Do not insert any objects into the openings
in the housing that are not designed for this
purpose. Never pour any liquids onto or into
the housing. This can cause short circuits
inside the product and/or electric shocks, fi
re or injuries.
18. Use suitable overvoltage protection to
ensure that no overvoltage (such as that
caused by a thunderstorm) can reach the
product. Otherwise the operating personnel
will be endangered by electric shocks.
19. Do not place the product on heat-generating
devices such as radiators or fan heaters.
The temperature of the environment must
not exceed the maximum temperature
specifi ed in the data sheet.
20. Batteries and storage batteries must not be
exposed to high temperatures or fi re. Keep
batteries and storage batteries away from
children. Do not short-circuit batteries and
storage batteries. If batteries or storage
batteries are improperly replaced, this can
cause an explosion (warning: lithium cells).
Replace the battery or storage battery only
with the matching Rohde & Schwarz type
(see spare parts list). Batteries and storage
batteries must be recycled and kept
separate from residual waste. Batteries and
storage batteries that contain lead, mercury
or cadmium are hazardous waste. Observe
the national regulations regarding waste
disposal and recycling.
