Safety and Regulatory Information
For Your Safety
1 Safety and Regulatory Information
The product documentation helps you use the R&S RTH safely and efficiently.
Follow the instructions provided here and in the printed "Safety Instructions".
Keep the product documentation nearby and offer it to other users.
Where do I find safety information?
Safety information is part of the product documentation. It warns you about the
potential dangers and gives instructions how to prevent personal injuries or damage caused by dangerous situations. Safety information is provided as follows:
●
The printed "Safety Instructions" provide safety information in many languages and are delivered with the R&S RTH.
●
Throughout the documentation, safety instructions are provided when you
need to take care during setup or operation.
1.1 For Your Safety
To prevent electric shock, personal injury, or fire caused by high voltages, carefully read and observe the following safety information:
●
This chapter, the first part of the safety booklet, provides warnings and safety
information for usage of oscilloscopes, probes, and other measurement
accessories.
●
The second part of the safety booklet provides basic safety instructions
●
Product manuals provide specific safety instructions for procedures and measurement accessories.
Electrical safety
●
Voltages higher than 30 V RMS, or 42 V peak, or 60 V DC are regarded as
hazardous contact voltages. 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.
– Use only insulated voltage probes, test leads and adapters.
5Getting Started 1326.1561.02 ─ 09
R&S®Scope Rider RTH
●
Make sure that only personnel familiar with the potential risks of measuring
electrical quantities controls the instrument. Observe applicable local or
national safety regulations and rules for the prevention of accidents.
●
Use only specified probes and accessories that comply with the measurement
category (CAT) of your measurement task. If you use other than
Rohde & Schwarz accessories, make sure that they are suitable for the instrument and the measurement task.
●
Observe all voltage and current ratings of the instrument, the probes, and the
accessories. The lowest rated component defines the rating of the complete
measurement setup. Limits and ratings are marked on the products and listed
in the data sheets.
For probes, consider that the rated voltage depends on the frequency. The
voltage limitation curves are provided in the data sheet. Do not exceed these
two ratings:
– Maximum measurement voltage from the probe tip to the probe reference
lead.
Safety and Regulatory Information
For Your Safety
– Maximum floating voltage from the probe reference lead to earth ground.
●
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.
●
Set up all connections to the instrument before applying power.
●
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 personnel.
●
Do not operate the instrument in wet, damp or explosive atmospheres. Make
sure that all connectors are completely dry before connecting the inputs.
●
Observe the operating conditions specified in the data sheet and in the basic
safety instructions.
Battery replacement
●
Disconnect power supply, probes, test leads and all other cables before opening the battery cover.
●
Use only the specified Li-ion battery pack, which is delivered with the instrument. You can order additional battery packs at Rohde & Schwarz, see data
sheet for order number.
●
Do not operate the instrument with the battery cover open.
6Getting Started 1326.1561.02 ─ 09
R&S®Scope Rider RTH
●
Use only the specified power adapter, which is delivered with the instrument.
Cleaning
Remove all probes, leads, USB and LAN cables and power supply before cleaning the instrument. Use only cleaning materials that are specified in the manual.
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 instrument and accessories only in electrical environments for which they are rated.
●
O - 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.
Safety and Regulatory Information
For Your Safety
●
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:
For measurements performed in the building installation, such as junction
boxes, circuit breakers, distribution boards, and equipment with permanent
connection to the fixed installation.
●
CAT IV:
For measurements performed at the source of the low-voltage installation,
such as electricity meters and primary overcurrent protection devices.

2.3 Input Isolation
The instrument has independently floating isolated inputs. Each input channel has
its own signal input and its own reference input. Each input channel is electrically
isolated from the other input channels. Therefore, each reference of the used
inputs must be connected to a reference voltage. Furthermore, input channels are
electrically isolated from the communication ports and the power adapter input.

Preface
Documentation Overview
Figure 2-1: Isolation scheme of the R&S RTH
The input isolation has several advantages:
●
You can measure independently floating signals simultaneously.
●
The risk of causing a short circuit while measuring multiple signals is reduced
substantially.
●
When measuring signals with different grounds, the induced ground currents
are kept to a minimum.
