Before changing the fuse, switch off the product Getting Started 1802.3352.02 02 5 R&S®MXO 5 Series Safety and regulatory information Safety instructions and disconnect it from the power source. How to change the fuse is described in the product documentation. Only use the power cable delivered with the product. It complies with countryspecific safety requirements. Only insert the plug into an outlet with protective conductor terminal. Only use intact cables and route them carefully so that they cannot be damaged. Check the power cables regularly to ensure that they are undamaged. Also ensure that nobody can trip over loose cables. If you connect the product to an external power supply, use the one delivered with the product or recommended in the product documentation. The external power supply must conform to the country-specific regulations. Ensure that you can disconnect the product from the power source at any time. Pull the power plug to disconnect the product. The power plug must be easily accessible. If the product is integrated into a system that does not meet these requirements, provide an easily accessible circuit breaker at the system level. Replace parts that are relevant to safety only by original parts, e.g. power cables or fuses. Performing measurements Take the following measures for your safety: To ascertain voltage-free state, use an appropriate voltage tester. Any measurement setup including an oscilloscope is not suitable for this purpose. The maximum input voltage on channel inputs and the external trigger input must not exceed the value specified in the data sheet. Observe all voltage and current ratings of the instrument, the probes, and the accessories. Exceeding the allowed voltages can lead to an electric shock. Limits and ratings are marked on the products and listed in the data sheets. Consider that the rated voltage depends on the frequency. The voltage limitation curves or values are provided in the data sheet. Never cause any short circuits when measuring sources with high output currents. Use only probes and accessories that comply with the measurement category (CAT) of your measurement task. If the product is rated for any measurement category, the permitted category is indicated on the product and in the data sheet. If you use other than Rohde & Schwarz accessories, make sure that they are suitable for the instrument and the measurement task. Getting Started 1802.3352.02 02 6 R&S®MXO 5 Series Safety and regulatory information Safety instructions Set the correct attenuation factor on the instrument according to the probe being used. Otherwise, the measurement results do not reflect the actual voltage level, and you might misjudge the actual risk. When working with high voltages and current probes, observe the additional operating conditions specified in these safety instructions. The probe pins are extremely pointed and can easily penetrate clothes and the skin. Handle the probe pins with great care. To exchange a probe pin, use tweezers or pliers to avoid injuries. When transporting the accessories, always use the box supplied with the probe. Prevent the probe from receiving mechanical shock. Avoid putting excessive strain on the probe cable or exposing it to sharp bends. Touching a broken cable during measurements can cause injuries. Set up all probe connections to the instrument before applying power. Working with hazardous voltages Voltages higher than 30 V RMS, or 42 V peak, or 60 V DC are regarded as hazardous contact voltages. Direct contact with them can cause serious injuries. Make sure that only electrically skilled persons use the products for measurements on hazardous contact voltages. These working conditions require special education and experience to perceive risks and to avoid hazards which electricity can create. When working with hazardous contact voltages, use protective measures to preclude direct contact with the measurement setup: Do not touch exposed connections and components when power is applied. Switch off the test circuit while connecting and disconnecting probe leads. Use only insulated voltage probes, test leads and adapters. Make sure that the input leads fulfill the safety requirements for your measurement. The delivered input leads might have a jacket wear indicator that indicates a worn jacket by different jacket color. In this case, do not use the input lead. Replace it with a new one. When connecting to the DUT, keep your fingers behind finger guard. Remove jewelry, watches, and other metallic objects. Only use 4 mm safety banana plugs. Getting Started 1802.3352.02 02 7 R&S®MXO 5 Series Safety and regulatory information Safety instructions Working with current probes When working with current probes, you can measure high-frequency currents or currents that contain high-frequency components. Switch off the test circuit while connecting the probe. Do not attach the clamp to bare unisolated conductors. To avoid injury from a short circuit, measure at a location on an insulated wire where the insulation is sufficient for the circuit voltage. Connect the probe only to the secondary side of a breaker. With this measure, you avoid injury, if a short circuit occurs. The following effects can cause burns and fire or damage to the measurement site: Eddy current loss can cause heating of the sensor head. Dielectric heating can cause heating of cord insulation and other materials. When measuring current that includes a high-frequency component, consider the derating characteristics of the probe. Do not measure any current that exceeds the rated current. Using the probes with high frequencies or strong magnetic fields may cause the device to become abnormally hot, resulting in fire, equipment damage, or burns. Measurement categories IEC 61010-2-030 defines measurement categories that rate instruments on their ability to resist short transient overvoltages that occur in addition to the working voltage. Use the measurement setup only in electrical environments for which they are rated. 0 - Instruments without rated measurement category For measurements performed on circuits not directly connected to mains, for example, electronics, circuits powered by batteries, and specially protected secondary circuits. This measurement category is also known as CAT I. CAT II: For measurements performed on circuits directly connected to the low-voltage installation by a standard socket outlet, for example, household appliances and portable tools. CAT III: Getting Started 1802.3352.02 02 8 R&S®MXO 5 Series Safety and regulatory information Safety instructions For measurements performed in the building installation, such as junction boxes, circuit breakers, distribution boards, and equipment with permanent connection to the fixed installation.
