Preparing for Use

This section describes the basic steps to be taken when setting up the R&S RTH
for the first time.
Shock hazard caused by high voltages
The instrument must be used in an appropriate manner to prevent electric
shock, fire, personal injury, or damage.
● Do not open the instrument casing.
● Do not use the instrument if the instrument casing, the display or any
probe or accessory are damaged. If you detect or suspect any damage,
have the instrument or accessory inspected by qualified service person-
nel.
● Use only specified probes and accessories that comply with the mea-
surement category of your measurement task.
If you use other than Rohde & Schwarz accessories, make sure that
they are suitable to the instrument and the measurement task.
● Do not operate the instrument in wet, damp or explosive atmospheres.
Make sure that all connectors are completely dry before connecting the
inputs.
● Voltages higher than 30 V RMS or 42 V peak or 60 V DC are regarded
as hazardous contact voltages. Make sure that only electrically skilled
persons may use the R&S RTH for measurements on hazardous con-
tact voltages because these working conditions require special educa-
tion and experience to perceive risks and to avoid hazards which elec-
tricity can create.
● Observe the operating conditions specified in the data sheet. Note that
the general safety instructions also contain information on operating
conditions that will prevent damage to the instrument.
● Read and observe the "Basic Safety Instructions" delivered as a printed
brochure with the instrument. In addition, read and observe the safety
instructions in the following sections.
