Basic Safety Instructions

Operating states and operating positions

The product may be operated only under the operating conditions and in the positions specified by the
manufacturer, without the product's ventilation being obstructed. If the manufacturer's specifications are
not observed, this can result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury or death. Applicable local
or national safety regulations and rules for the prevention of accidents must be observed in all work
performed.

1. Unless otherwise specified, the following requirements apply to Rohde & Schwarz products:
predefined operating position is always with the housing floor facing down, IP protection 2X, use only
indoors, max. operating altitude 2000 m above sea level, max. transport altitude 4500 m above sea
level. A tolerance of ±10 % shall apply to the nominal voltage and ±5 % to the nominal frequency,
overvoltage category 2, pollution degree 2.

2. Do not place the product on surfaces, vehicles, cabinets or tables that for reasons of weight or stability
are unsuitable for this purpose. Always follow the manufacturer's installation instructions when
installing the product and fastening it to objects or structures (e.g. walls and shelves). An installation
that is not carried out as described in the product documentation could result in personal injury or
even death.

3. Do not place the product on heat-generating devices such as radiators or fan heaters. The ambient
temperature must not exceed the maximum temperature specified in the product documentation or in
the data sheet. Product overheating can cause electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury or
even death.

Electrical safety

If the information on electrical safety is not observed either at all or to the extent necessary, electric shock,
fire and/or serious personal injury or death may occur.

1. Prior to switching on the product, always ensure that the nominal voltage setting on the product
matches the nominal voltage of the mains-supply network. If a different voltage is to be set, the power
fuse of the product may have to be changed accordingly.

2. In the case of products of safety class I with movable power cord and connector, operation is
permitted only on sockets with a protective conductor contact and protective conductor.

3. Intentionally breaking the protective conductor either in the feed line or in the product itself is not
permitted. Doing so can result in the danger of an electric shock from the product. If extension cords
or connector strips are implemented, they must be checked on a regular basis to ensure that they are
safe to use.

4. If there is no power switch for disconnecting the product from the mains, or if the power switch is not
suitable for this purpose, use the plug of the connecting cable to disconnect the product from the
mains. In such cases, always ensure that the power plug is easily reachable and accessible at all
times. For example, if the power plug is the disconnecting device, the length of the connecting cable
must not exceed 3 m. Functional or electronic switches are not suitable for providing disconnection
from the AC supply network. If products without power switches are integrated into racks or systems,
the disconnecting device must be provided at the system level.

5. Never use the product if the power cable is damaged. Check the power cables on a regular basis to
ensure that they are 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, for example, tripping over the cable or suffering an electric shock.

1171.0000.42 - 08 Page 3

Basic Safety Instructions

6. The product may be operated only from TN/TT supply networks fuse-protected with max. 16 A (higher
fuse only after consulting with the Rohde & Schwarz group of companies).

7. Do not insert the plug into sockets that are dusty or dirty. Insert the plug firmly and all the way into the
socket provided for this purpose. Otherwise, sparks that result in fire and/or injuries may occur.

8. Do not overload any sockets, extension cords or connector strips; doing so can cause fire or electric
shocks.

9. For measurements in circuits with voltages V

> 30 V, suitable measures (e.g. appropriate

rms

measuring equipment, fuse protection, current limiting, electrical separation, insulation) should be
taken to avoid any hazards.

10. Ensure that the connections with information technology equipment, e.g. PCs or other industrial
computers, comply with the IEC 60950-1 / EN 60950-1 or IEC 61010-1 / EN 61010-1 standards that
apply in each case.

11. 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, fire or damage to the
product.

12. If a product is to be permanently installed, the connection between the protective conductor terminal
on site and the product's protective conductor must be made first before any other connection is
made. The product may be installed and connected only by a licensed electrician.

13. For permanently installed equipment without built-in fuses, circuit breakers or similar protective
devices, the supply circuit must be fuse-protected in such a way that anyone who has access to the
product, as well as the product itself, is adequately protected from injury or damage.

14. Use suitable overvoltage protection to ensure that no overvoltage (such as that caused by a bolt of
lightning) can reach the product. Otherwise, the person operating the product will be exposed to the
danger of an electric shock.

15. Any object that is not designed to be placed in the openings of the housing must not be used for this
purpose. Doing so can cause short circuits inside the product and/or electric shocks, fire or injuries.

16. Unless specified otherwise, products are not liquid-proof (see also section "Operating states and
operating positions", item 1). Therefore, the equipment must be protected against penetration by
liquids. If the necessary precautions are not taken, the user may suffer electric shock or the product
itself may be damaged, which can also lead to personal injury.

17. Never use the product under conditions in which condensation has formed or can form in or on the
product, e.g. if the product has been moved from a cold to a warm environment. Penetration by water
increases the risk of electric shock.

18. Prior to cleaning the product, disconnect it completely from the power supply (e.g. AC supply network
or battery). Use a soft, non-linting cloth to clean the product. Never use chemical cleaning agents such
as alcohol, acetone or diluents for cellulose lacquers.

Operation

1. Operating the products requires special training and intense concentration. Make sure that persons
who use the products are physically, mentally and emotionally fit enough to do so; otherwise, injuries
or material damage may occur. It is the responsibility of the employer/operator to select suitable
personnel for operating the products.

1171.0000.42 - 08 Page 4

Basic Safety Instructions

2. Before you move or transport the product, read and observe the section titled "Transport".

3. As with all industrially manufactured goods, the use of substances that induce an allergic reaction
(allergens) such as nickel cannot be generally excluded. If you develop an allergic reaction (such as a
skin rash, frequent sneezing, red eyes or respiratory difficulties) when using a Rohde & Schwarz
product, consult a physician immediately to determine the cause and to prevent health problems or
stress.

4. Before you start processing the product mechanically and/or thermally, or before you take it apart, be
sure to read and pay special attention to the section titled "Waste disposal/Environmental protection",
item 1.

5. Depending on the function, certain products such as RF radio equipment can produce an elevated
level of electromagnetic radiation. Considering that unborn babies require increased protection,
pregnant women must be protected by appropriate measures. Persons with pacemakers may also be
exposed to risks from electromagnetic radiation. The employer/operator must evaluate workplaces
where there is a special risk of exposure to radiation and, if necessary, take measures to avert the
potential danger.

6. Should a fire occur, the product may release hazardous substances (gases, fluids, etc.) that can
cause health problems. Therefore, suitable measures must be taken, e.g. protective masks and
protective clothing must be worn.

7. Laser products are given warning labels that are standardized according to their laser class. Lasers
can cause biological harm due to the properties of their radiation and due to their extremely
concentrated electromagnetic power. If a laser product (e.g. a CD/DVD drive) is integrated into a
Rohde & Schwarz product, absolutely no other settings or functions may be used as described in the
product documentation. The objective is to prevent personal injury (e.g. due to laser beams).

8. EMC classes (in line with EN 55011/CISPR 11, and analogously with EN 55022/CISPR 22,
EN 55032/CISPR 32)
 Class A equipment:

Equipment suitable for use in all environments except residential environments and environments
that are directly connected to a low-voltage supply network that supplies residential buildings
Note: Class A equipment is intended for use in an industrial environment. This equipment may
cause radio disturbances in residential environments, due to possible conducted as well as
radiated disturbances. In this case, the operator may be required to take appropriate measures to
eliminate these disturbances.

 Class B equipment:

Equipment suitable for use in residential environments and environments that are directly
connected to a low-voltage supply network that supplies residential buildings

Repair and service

1. The product may be opened only by authorized, specially trained personnel. Before any work is
performed on the product or before the product is opened, it must be disconnected from the AC supply

2. Cells or batteries must not be exposed to heat or fire. Storage in direct sunlight must be avoided.
Keep cells and batteries clean and dry. Clean soiled connectors using a dry, clean cloth.

3. Cells or batteries must not be short-circuited. Cells or batteries must not be stored in a box or in a
drawer where they can short-circuit each other, or where they can be short-circuited by other
conductive materials. Cells and batteries must not be removed from their original packaging until they
are ready to be used.

4. Cells and batteries must not be exposed to any mechanical shocks that are stronger than permitted.

5. If a cell develops a leak, the fluid must not be allowed to come into contact with the skin or eyes. If
contact occurs, wash the affected area with plenty of water and seek medical aid.

6. Improperly replacing or charging cells or batteries that contain alkaline electrolytes (e.g. lithium cells)
can cause explosions. Replace cells or batteries only with the matching Rohde & Schwarz type (see
parts list) in order to ensure the safety of the product.

7. Cells and batteries must be recycled and kept separate from residual waste. Rechargeable batteries
and normal batteries that contain lead, mercury or cadmium are hazardous waste. Observe the
national regulations regarding waste disposal and recycling.

Consignes de sécurité fondamentales

Sécurité électrique

Si les consignes relatives à la sécurité électrique ne sont pas ou sont insuffisamment respectées, il peut
s’ensuivre des chocs électriques, des incendies et/ou des blessures graves pouvant éventuellement
entraîner la mort.

1. Avant chaque mise sous tension du produit, il faut s’assurer que la tension nominale réglée sur le
produit correspond à la tension nominale du réseau électrique. S’il est nécessaire de modifier le
réglage de la tension, il faut remplacer le fusible du produit, le cas échéant.

2. L’utilisation des produits du degré de protection I pourvus d’un câble d’alimentation mobile et d’un
connecteur n’est autorisée qu’avec des prises munies d’un contact de protection et d’un conducteur
de protection raccordé.

3. Toute déconnexion intentionnelle du conducteur de protection, dans le câble ou dans le produit lui­même, est interdite. Elle entraîne un risque de choc électrique au niveau du produit. En cas
d’utilisation de câbles prolongateurs ou de multiprises, ceux-ci doivent être examinés régulièrement
quant à leur état de sécurité technique.

4. Si le produit n’est pas doté d’un interrupteur d’alimentation pour le couper du réseau électrique ou si
l’interrupteur d’alimentation disponible n’est pas approprié pour couper le produit du réseau électrique,
le connecteur mâle du câble de raccordement est à considérer comme dispositif de séparation.
Le dispositif de séparation doit être à tout moment facilement accessible. Si, par exemple, le
connecteur d’alimentation sert de dispositif de séparation, la longueur du câble de raccordement ne
doit pas dépasser 3 m.
Les commutateurs fonctionnels ou électroniques ne sont pas appropriés pour couper l’appareil du
réseau électrique. Si des produits sans interrupteur d’alimentation sont intégrés dans des bâtis ou
systèmes, le dispositif de séparation doit être reporté au niveau du système.

5. Ne jamais utiliser le produit si le câble d’alimentation est endommagé. Vérifier régulièrement le parfait
état du câble d’alimentation. Prendre les mesures préventives appropriées et opter pour des types de
pose tels que le câble d’alimentation ne puisse pas être endommagé et que personne ne puisse subir
de préjudice, par exemple en trébuchant sur le câble ou par des chocs électriques.

6. L’utilisation des produits est uniquement autorisée sur des réseaux d’alimentation de type TN/TT
protégés par des fusibles d’une intensité max. de 16 A (pour toute intensité supérieure, consulter le
groupe Rohde & Schwarz).

7. Ne pas brancher le connecteur dans des prises d’alimentation sales ou poussiéreuses. Enfoncer
fermement le connecteur jusqu’au bout de la prise. Le non-respect de cette mesure peut provoquer
des étincelles, incendies et/ou blessures.

8. Ne pas surcharger les prises, les câbles prolongateurs ou les multiprises, cela pouvant provoquer des
incendies ou chocs électriques.

9. En cas de mesures sur les circuits électriques d’une tension efficace > 30 V, prendre les précautions
nécessaires pour éviter tout risque (par exemple équipement de mesure approprié, fusibles, limitation
de courant, coupe-circuit, isolation, etc.).

10. En cas d’interconnexion avec des équipements informatiques comme par exemple un PC ou un
ordinateur industriel, veiller à ce que ces derniers soient conformes aux normes IEC 60950-1 /
EN 60950-1 ou IEC 61010-1 / EN 61010-1 en vigueur.

11. Sauf autorisation expresse, il est interdit de retirer le couvercle ou toute autre pièce du boîtier lorsque

accès au produit et le produit lui-même soient suffisamment protégés contre tout dommage.

14. Chaque produit doit être protégé de manière appropriée contre les éventuelles surtensions (par
exemple dues à un coup de foudre). Sinon, les utilisateurs sont exposés à des risques de choc
électrique.

15. Ne jamais introduire d’objets non prévus à cet effet dans les ouvertures du boîtier, étant donné que
cela peut entraîner des courts-circuits dans le produit et/ou des chocs électriques, incendies ou
blessures.

16. Sauf spécification contraire, les produits ne sont pas protégés contre l’infiltration de liquides, voir aussi
la section « États et positions de fonctionnement », point 1. Il faut donc protéger les produits contre
l’infiltration de liquides. La non-observation de cette consigne entraîne le risque de choc électrique
pour l’utilisateur ou d’endommagement du produit, ce qui peut également mettre les personnes en
danger.

17. Ne pas utiliser le produit dans des conditions pouvant occasionner ou ayant déjà occasionné, le cas
échéant, des condensations dans ou sur le produit, par exemple lorsque celui-ci est déplacé d’un
environnement froid dans un environnement chaud. L’infiltration d’eau augmente le risque de choc
électrique.

18. Avant le nettoyage, débrancher le produit de l’alimentation (par exemple réseau électrique ou
batterie). Pour le nettoyage des appareils, utiliser un chiffon doux non pelucheux. N’utiliser en aucun

5. Selon les fonctions, certains produits, tels que des systèmes de radiocommunication RF, peuvent
produire des niveaux élevés de rayonnement électromagnétique. Étant donné la vulnérabilité de
l’enfant à naître, les femmes enceintes doivent être protégées par des mesures appropriées. Les
porteurs de stimulateurs cardiaques peuvent également être menacés par les rayonnements
électromagnétiques. L’employeur/l’exploitant est tenu d’évaluer et de repérer les lieux de travail
soumis à un risque particulier d’exposition aux rayonnements et de prévenir les dangers éventuels.

6. En cas d’incendie, il se peut que le produit dégage des matières toxiques (gaz, liquides, etc.)
susceptibles de nuire à la santé. Il faut donc, en cas d’incendie, prendre des mesures adéquates
comme par exemple le port de masques respiratoires et de vêtements de protection.

7. Si un produit laser est intégré dans un produit Rohde & Schwarz (par exemple lecteur CD/DVD), il ne
faut pas utiliser de réglages ou fonctions autres que ceux décrits dans la documentation produit pour
éviter tout dommage corporel (par exemple causé par rayon laser).

8. Classes CEM (selon EN 55011 / CISPR 11 ; selon EN 55022 / CISPR 22, EN 55032 / CISPR 32 par
analogie)
 Appareil de la classe A :

Appareil approprié à un usage dans tous les environnements autres que l’environnement
résidentiel et les environnements raccordés directement à un réseau d’alimentation basse tension
qui alimente des bâtiments résidentiels.
Remarque : ces appareils peuvent provoquer des perturbations radioélectriques dans
l’environnement résidentiel en raison de perturbations conduites ou rayonnées. Dans ce cas, on
peut exiger que l’exploitant mette en œuvre de mesures appropriées pour éliminer ces
perturbations.

 Appareil de la classe B :

Appareil approprié à un usage dans l’environnement résidentiel ainsi que dans les
environnements raccordés directement à un réseau d’alimentation basse tension qui alimente des

immédiatement les locaux. Dans les cas graves, consulter un médecin. Si la peau ou
les yeux entrent en contact avec les produits chimiques libérés, des irritations
peuvent se produire. Rincer immédiatement et abondamment la peau ou les yeux à
l'eau claire et consulter un médecin.

2. Ne pas exposer les cellules ou les batteries à la chaleur ou au feu. Ne pas les
stocker dans un endroit exposé à la lumière directe du soleil. Toute surchauffe risque
de provoquer une explosion ou un incendie, ce qui peut entraîner des blessures
graves.

3. Conserver les batteries dans un lieu sec et propre. Nettoyer les points de contact
sales à l'aide d'un chiffon sec et propre.

4. Charger les batteries avant utilisation. Utiliser seulement le chargeur
Rohde & Schwarz approprié pour recharger les batteries. Les références exactes du
chargeur sont indiquées dans le manuel ou la fiche technique de l'appareil. Une
recharge incorrecte des batteries peut entraîner des explosions susceptibles de
causer des blessures graves.

5. Recharger impérativement à des températures comprises entre 0 °C et 45 °C
(restrictions éventuelles : voir le manuel).

6. Décharger impérativement à des températures comprises entre 0 °C et 50 °C
(restrictions éventuelles : voir le manuel).

7. Terminer la charge dès que les batteries sont complètement rechargées. Une
surcharge répétée diminue la longévité des batteries.

8. Retirer les batteries de l'appareil lorsqu'elles ne sont pas utilisées. Après un
stockage prolongé, plusieurs cycles de recharge et de décharge peuvent s'avérer
nécessaires pour rétablir la pleine capacité des batteries.

9. Utiliser les batteries exclusivement dans les appareils Rohde & Schwarz auxquels
elles sont destinées. Voir le manuel fourni avec chaque appareil.

10. Ne pas éliminer les batteries avec les déchets municipaux non triés mais s'assurer
qu'elles soient collectées séparément. Recycler les batteries en fin de vie en les
confiant à un point de collecte compétent ou à un point de service après-vente
Rohde & Schwarz.

11. Conserver ces consignes de sécurité de sorte à pouvoir vous y reporter ou vérifier
ultérieurement certains points.

Getting Started

Preparing for Use

3.1.1.5 Battery Operation

The R&S Spectrum Rider has a smart battery indicator which displays the battery
charging status on the POWER key as well as the battery icon shown at the top right
corner of the display screen. See Chapter 3.2.3.1, "Title Bar", on page 40.

The lithium ion battery has a capacity of approximately 6.4 Ah and it allows operation
of up to eight hours when it is fully charged.

The actual operation time depends on the current charge status, the ambient tempera­ture and the operating mode of the R&S Spectrum Rider.

When the R&S Spectrum Rider is in operation, the power's LED displays green on the

button, the battery charging status can also be viewed on the "Title Bar". See Chap-

ter 3.2.3.1, "Title Bar", on page 40.

When the R&S Spectrum Rider is not in operation, the power's LED displays blue
for a fully charged battery and it blinks in blue to indicate a battery charging process.

The battery charging and discharging process of the battery icon shown on the "Mea­surement Title" is illustrated below:

Figure 3-2: Battery charging process

Figure 3-3: Battery discharging process

While charging, the green slot on the battery icon is added from the right to left to indi­cate that the battery is charging while connected to the power supply.

When battery is fully charged, there are four green slots in the battery icon. Every slot
is approximately 25% of the battery capacity. See Figure 3-2.

During the discharging process, the white slot in the battery icon is reduced until it
turns to a single red slot. This shows that the battery has reached a low level. See

Figure 3-3.

Charging time is about three hours when the R&S Spectrum Rider is in inactive mode
(i.e. R&S Spectrum Rider is switched off). If the instrument is in active mode (i.e. R&S
Spectrum Rider is switched on), the charging time is extended to about four hours
because the charging current is reduced as the power is partially drained by the usage
of the R&S Spectrum Rider.

During operation in the field, you can also charge the battery with the car adapter (R&S
HA-Z302, order number 1321.1340.02). You can connect the car adapter to the DC

26User Manual 1321.1011.02 ─ 03.00

port. With the car adapter, you are able to charge the R&S Spectrum Rider via the
car's cigarette lighter socket. A replacement battery (R&S HA-Z306, order number

1321.1334.02) with the same capacity and charging time as the battery included in the
standard delivery is also available if necessary.

Battery dispatched during delivery is not fully charged, for battery operation you have
to charge it first.

To charge the battery, connect the charger to AC power adapter included in the deliv­ery. For more information, see "Using an external battery charger" on page 27.

Using an external battery charger

You can also use an external battery charger (R&S HA-Z303, order number

1321.1328.02) to charge the battery.

To charge the battery externally, put the battery into the external charger and supply it
with power via the AC power adapter.

An amber LED on the charger indicates the charging process. The LED turns to green
when the battery is fully charged. A red LED on the charger indicates that the battery is
not charging or the charging failed.

3.2.2.1 RF Input

The RF input 50Ω is located on the top of the R&S Spectrum Rider.

Connect a cable or DUT to the RF input with an N connector. Use a cable to connect
the DUT to the R&S Spectrum Rider, if necessary.

Make sure not to overload the R&S Spectrum Rider when a DUT is connected.

The maximum power that is permissible at the RF input is 20 dBm (or 100 mW).

The RF input is protected from static discharges and voltage pulses by a limiting cir­cuit.

34User Manual 1321.1011.02 ─ 03.00

RF power overload

The R&S Spectrum Rider maybe loaded with up to 30 dBm (or 1 W ) for up to three
minutes. If you apply 1 W for a longer period, the R&S Spectrum Rider may be
destroyed.

Risk of electric shock

In order to avoid electrical shock the DC input voltage, you must never exceed the
value specified on the housing.

Risk of damage of the R&S Spectrum Rider

To avoid damage to the coupling capacitor, input attenuator or the mixer, the DC input
voltage must never exceed the value specified in the data sheet.

3.2.2.2 BNC Connector

The BNC connector is located on the top of the R&S Spectrum Rider.

You can connect the BNC connector for various applications. It supports an external
trigger signal or an external reference signal.

When the BNC connector is configured as a trigger input, it controls the start of a mea­surement. The trigger mode is selected in the "Sweep" menu, see Chapter 3.2.5.5,

"Function Keys", on page 48. The trigger threshold is similar to that of TTL signals.

When the BNC connector is configured as reference input, you can apply a 10 MHz
external reference signal to it for frequency synchronization. The external reference
label

is displayed at the top right corner of the trace window to indicate that the
reference signal is supplied via external signal input. The label turns green when the
reference signal is detected.

The level of the reference signal must be larger than 0 dBm. If there is no reference
signal present at the BNC connector, the R&S Spectrum Rider displays an appropriate
message. Thus, measurements without a valid reference can be avoided.
