This chapter provides safety-related information, an overview of the user documentation and the conventions used in the documentation.
1.1 For Your Safety
The R&S FSVA/FSV is designated for use in industrial, administrative, and laboratory environments. Use the R&S FSVA/FSV only for its designated purpose. Observe the safety and usage instructions documented in the user manual, as well as operating conditions and performance limits stated in the data sheet.
The product documentation helps you use the R&S FSVA/FSV safely and efficiently. Keep the product documentation in a safe place and pass it on to subsequent users.
Safety information is part of the product documentation. It warns you about potential dangers and gives instructions how to prevent personal injury or damage caused by dangerous situations. Safety information is provided as follows:
●In the "Basic Safety Instructions", safety issues are grouped according to subjects. For example, one subject is electrical safety. The "Basic Safety Instructions" are delivered with the R&S FSVA/FSV in different languages in print.
●Throughout the documentation, safety instructions are provided when you need to take care during setup or operation. Always read the safety instructions carefully. Make sure to comply fully with them. Do not take risks and do not underestimate the potential danger of small details such as a damaged power cable.
1.2Notes for Users of R&S FSV 1307.9002Kxx Models
Users of R&S FSV 1307.9002Kxx models should consider the following differences to the description of the newer R&S FSVA/FSV 1321.3008Kxx models:
●Functions that are based on the Windows 10 operating system (e.g. printing or setting up networks) may have a slightly different appearance or require different settings on the Windows XP based models. For such functions, refer to the Windows documentation or the documentation originally provided with the R&S FSV instrument.
●The R&S FSV 1307.9002K03 model is restricted to a maximum frequency of
3 GHz, whereas the R&S FSVA/FSV1321.3008K04 model has a maximum frequency of 4 GHz.
●The bandwidth extension option R&S FSV-B160 (1311.2015.xx) is not available for the R&S FSV 1307.9002Kxx models. The maximum usable I/Q analysis bandwidth for these models is 28 MHz, or with option R&S FSV-B70, 40 MHz.

This section describes the front connectors and interfaces of the R&S FSVA/FSV. Optional connectors and interfaces are indicated by the option name in brackets. Most connectors on the front panel (except for USB) are located at the bottom right-hand side.
USB
The front panel provides two female USB connectors to connect devices like a keyboard or mouse. Also a memory stick can be connected to store and reload instrument settings and measurement data.
NOISE SOURCE CONTROL
The noise source control female connector is used to provide the supply voltage for an external noise source, e.g., to measure the noise figure and gain of amplifiers and frequency converting DUTs.
Conventional noise sources require a voltage of +28 V in order to be switched on and 0 V to be switched off. The output supports a maximum load of 100 mA.
RF INPUT 50Ω
The RF input is to be connected to the DUT via a cable equipped with an appropriate connector.
Risk of instrument damage
Do not overload the input. For maximum allowed values, see the data sheet.
For AC-coupling, a DC input voltage of 50 V must never be exceeded. For DC-cou- pling, DC voltage must not be applied at the input. In both cases, noncompliance will destroy the input mixers.
