Safety Instructions
Shock hazard
This unit has been designed and tested in accordance with the EC Certificate of Conformity and has left the
manufacturer’s plant in a condition fully complying with safety standards.
To maintain this condition and to ensure safe operation, the user must observe all instructions and warnings
given in this operating manual.
Safety-related symbols used on equipment and documentation from R&S:
Observe
operating
instructions
Weight
indication for
units >18 kg
PE terminal Ground
1. The unit may be used only in the operating conditions and positions specified by the manufacturer. Unless otherwise agreed, the following
applies to R&S products:
IP degree of protection 2X, pollution severity 2
overvoltage category 2, only for indoor use, altitude max. 2000 m.
The unit may be operated only from supply networks fused with max. 16 A.
Unless specified otherwise in the data sheet, a
tolerance of 10% shall apply to the nominal
voltage and of 5% to the nominal frequency.
2. For measurements in circuits with voltages V
> 30 V, suitable measures should be taken to
avoid any hazards.
(using, for example, appropriate measuring
equipment, fusing, current limiting, electrical
separation, insulation).
3. If the unit is to be permanently wired, the PE
terminal of the unit must first be connected to
the PE conductor on site before any other c onnections are made. Installation and cabling of
the unit to be performed only by qualified technical personnel.
4. For permanently installed units without built-in
fuses, circuit breakers or similar protective devices, the supply circuit must be fused such as
to provide suitable protection for the users and
equipment.
5. Prior to switching on the unit, it must be ensured
that the nominal voltage set on the unit matches
the nominal voltage of the AC supply network.
If a different voltage is to be set, the power fuse
of the unit may have to be changed accordingly.
6. Units of protection class I with disconnectible
AC supply cable and appliance connector may
be operated only from a power socket with
earthing contact and with the PE conductor connected.
terminal
Danger!
Warning!
Ground Attention!
Hot surfaces
7. It is not permissible to interrupt the PE conductor intentionally, neither in the incoming cable
nor on the unit itself as this may cause the unit
to become electrically hazardous.
Any extension lines or multiple socket outlets
used must be checked for compliance with relevant safety standards at regular intervals.
8. If the unit has no power switch for disconnection
from the AC supply, the plug of the connecting
cable is regarded as the disconnecting device.
In such cases it must be ensured that the power
plug is easily reachable and accessible at all
rms
times (length of connecting cable approx. 2 m).
Functional or electronic switches are not suitable for providing disconnection from the AC
supply.
If units without power switches are integrated in
racks or systems, a disconnecting device must
be provided at system level.
9. Applicable local or national safety regulations
and rules for the prevention of accidents must
be observed in all work performed.
Prior to performing any work on the unit or
opening the unit, the latter must be disconnected from the supply network.
Any adjustments, replacements of parts, maintenance or repair may be carried out only by
authorized R&S technical personnel.
Only original parts may be used for replacing
parts relevant to safety (eg power switches,
power transformers, fuses). A safety test must
be performed after each replacement of parts
relevant to safety.
(visual inspection, PE conductor test, insulationresistance, leakage-current measurement, functional test).

Safety Instructions
10. Ensure that the connections with information
technology equipment comply with IEC950 /
EN60950.
11. Lithium batteries must not be exposed to high
temperatures or fire.
Keep batteries away from children.
If the battery is replaced improperly, there is
danger of explosion. Only replace the battery by
R&S type (see spare part list).
Lithium batteries are suitable for environmentally-friendly disposal or specialized recycling.
Dispose them into appropriate containers, only.
Do not short-circuit the battery.
12. Equipment returned or sent in for repair must be
packed in the original packing or in packing with
electrostatic and mechanical protection.
Electrostatics via the connectors may dam-

age the equipment. For the s afe handling and
operation of the equipment, appropriate
measures against electrostatics should be implemented.
14. The outside of the instrument is suitably
cleaned using a soft, lint-free dustcloth. Never
use solvents such as thinners, acetone and
similar things, as they may damage the f ront
panel labeling or plastic parts.
15. Any additional safety instructions given in this
manual are also to be observed.
1129.9055.12 Sheet 18
Safety Instructions
The instrument contains components which are hazardous to electrostatic exposure and which are marked by the
following symbol:
• To avoid damage of electronic components, the operational site must be protected against electrostatic di-
scharge (ESD).
The following two methods of ESD protection may be used together
Wrist strap with cord
Building ground
Ground connection
of operational site
Heel strap
Floor mat
or separately:
• Wrist strap with cord to ground connection
• Conductive floor mat and heel strap combination
The batteries used in the instrument are high-power lithium cells with a life utility of approx. 5 years. If you do not
handle them properly, there is a danger of explosion. Therefore, observe the following safety instructions:
• Avoid short-circuit and loading of the battery
• Do not expose lithium batteries to high temperature or fire.
• Do not open used batteries
• Keep batteries away from children.
• Replace battery only by R&S type battery (R&S ordering number 0565.1687.00)
• Make sure to connect the battery to the appropriate terminals when replacing
• Lithium batteries are suitable for environmentally-friendly disposal or specialized recycling. Dispose them into
appropriate containers, only.
• Put the instrument on the front handles before loosing the
rear feet and the tube to avoid damage of the instrument.
• When mounting the tube take care not to damage or pull off
cables.

FSP Manuals
Contents of Manuals for Spectrum Analyzer FSP
Service Manual - Instrument
The service manual - instrument informs on how to check compliance with rated specifications, on
instrument function, repair, troubleshooting and fault elimination. It contains all information requir ed
for repairing the FSP by the replacement of modules.
The service manual comprises four chapters and an annex (chapter 5) containing the FSP c ircuit documentation:
Chapter 1 provides all the information necessary to check FSP for compliance with rated
specifications. The required test equipment is included, too.
Chapter 2 describes the manual adjustment of the calibr ation source and of the frequency
accuracy as well as the automatic adjus tment of individual module data following
module replacement.
Chapter 3 describes the design of FSP as well as simple measures for repair and fault
diagnosis, in particular, the replacement of modules.
Chapter 4 contains information on the extension and modification of FSP by installing
instrument software and retrofitting options.
Chapter 5 describes the shipping of the instrument and ordering of spare par ts and contains
spare parts lists and exploded views of FSP.

Test Instructions
• T he rated specifications of the analyzer are tested after a warm-up time of at least 15 minutes and
overall calibration. Only in this case can compliance with the specified data be ensured. Start of
overall adjustment: [CAL : CAL TOTAL]
• Unless specified otherwise, all measurements will be performed with external reference frequency.
• Values specified in the following sections are not ensured. Only the technical specif ications of the
data sheet are binding.
• The values specified in the data sheet are the ensured limits. Due to measurement errors, these
limits must be extended by the tolerance of the measurement equipm ent used in this perform ance
test.
• Inputs for settings during measurements are shown as follows:
[<KEY>] Press a key on the front panel, e.g. [SPAN] .
[<SOFTKEY>] Press a softkey, e.g. [MARKER -> PEAK].
[<nn unit>] Enter a value and terminate by entering the unit, e.g. [12 kHz] .
Successive entries are separated by [:], e.g. [ BW : RES BW MANUAL : 3 kHz ] .
