●
Always terminate open cable ends.
●
Ensure that connected external devices comply with EMC regulations.
Signal input and output levels
Information on signal levels is provided in the data sheet. Keep the signal levels within
the specified ranges to avoid damage to the product and connected devices.
Preventing electrostatic discharge (ESD)
Electrostatic discharge is most likely to occur when you connect or disconnect a DUT.
►
NOTICE! Risk of electrostatic discharge. Electrostatic discharge can damage the
electronic components of the product and the device under test (DUT).
Ground yourself to prevent electrostatic discharge damage:
a) Use a wrist strap and cord to connect yourself to ground.
b) Use a conductive floor mat and heel strap combination.
During operation, if the firmware observes a serious unexpected disturbance (e.g. due
to ESD), it resets some hardware components and initiates a new alignment to ensure
proper instrument functioning. Then it restores the user settings to the state before the
disturbance.
3.1.6 Connecting to power
For safety information, see "Connecting to power and grounding" on page 28.
The R&S RTP can be used with different AC power voltages and adapts itself automat-
ically to it.
The instrument has a C20 connector. A list of appropriate power cables is given in the
user manual. Refer to the data sheet for the requirements of voltage and frequency.
The nominal ranges are:
●
100 V to 240 V AC at 50 Hz to 60 Hz, and 100 V to 130 V at 400 Hz, with maximal
10% voltage fluctuation on line
●
max. 13 A to 4.7 A
1. Plug the AC power cable into the AC power connector on the rear panel of the
product. Only use the AC power cable delivered with the product.
2. Plug the AC power cable into a power outlet with ground contact.
The required ratings are listed next to the AC power connector and in the data
sheet.
