If you need to measure low-impedance voltages, during repair work for example, exer-
cise the same caution as when measuring operating voltages that bear the risk of elec-
tric shock.
cise the same caution as when measuring operating voltages that bear the risk of elec-
tric shock.
Wear protective clothing if necessary.
Before you open an instrument or remove its cover, switch off the operating voltage and
wait for five minutes to ensure that any and all capacitors are sufficiently discharged.

RF Hazards
4.3.1
Mandatory Training
Operators must instruct their personnel on how to use this transmitter or instrument in
accordance with EN 60215 and IEC 215. This periodic training must cover the radio-fre-
quency hazards of the individual transmitter or instrument. Only after such training has
been provided and documented may the operating personnel handle switching and op-
erating tasks.

quency hazards of the individual transmitter or instrument. Only after such training has
been provided and documented may the operating personnel handle switching and op-
erating tasks.
High-energy RF circuits within the transmitter or the instrument are routed via conventional
detachable RF connectors (e.g. N). Depending on the output power, the transmitter or in-
strument outputs come with screw-in or pluggable RF lines or ducts.

If RF lines or modules conduct high power, the connection point or the entire module is
marked with the standard warning symbol (yellow triangle with black exclamation mark).

RF Shielding
Transmitters and instruments from Rohde & Schwarz are shielded in such a manner that
RF radiation does not pose any danger even in the immediate vicinity if all RF lines are
closed. This statement is based on the ordinance for electromagnetic fields as defined in
German law:

Rules for Operating an Amplifier
Opening RF lines during operation may cause electric arcs. This can cause burns and eye
injuries.
injuries.
Operate the amplifier only if an antenna or dummy antenna is connected.
Never undo RF lines during amplifier operation.
Never open amplifiers or modules during amplifier operation.
Never put amplifiers into operation if RF lines are open.
