Basic safety instructions

1. The product may be operated only under
the operating conditions and in the
positions specified by the manufacturer. Its
ventilation must not be obstructed during
operation. Unless otherwise specified, the
following requirements apply to
Rohde & Schwarz products:
prescribed operating position is always with
the housing floor facing down, IP protection
2X, pollution severity 2, overvoltage
category 2, use only in enclosed spaces,
max. operation altitude 2000 m above sea
level, max. transport altitude 4500 m above
sea level.
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. Applicable local or national safety
regulations and rules for the prevention of
accidents must be observed in all work
performed. The product may be opened
only by authorized, specially trained
personnel. Prior to performing any work on

the product or opening the product, the
product must be disconnected from the
supply network. Any adjustments,
replacements of parts, maintenance or
repair must be carried out only by technical
personnel authorized by Rohde & Schwarz.
Only original parts may be used for
replacing parts relevant to safety (e.g.
power switches, power transformers,
fuses). A safety test must always be
performed after parts relevant to safety
have been replaced (visual inspection, PE
conductor test, insulation resistance
measurement, leakage current
measurement, functional test).

3. As with all industrially manufactured goods,
the use of substances that induce an
allergic reaction (allergens, e.g. nickel)
such as aluminum cannot be generally
excluded. If you develop an allergic
reaction (such as a skin rash, frequent
sneezing, red eyes or respiratory
difficulties), consult a physician immediately
to determine the cause.

1171.0000.42-03.00 Sheet 2

Safety Instructions

4. If products/components are mechanically
and/or thermically processed in a manner
that goes beyond their intended use,
hazardous substances (heavy-metal dust
such as lead, beryllium, nickel) may be
released. For this reason, the product may
only be disassembled, e.g. for disposal
purposes, by specially trained personnel.
Improper disassembly may be hazardous to
your health. National waste disposal
regulations must be observed.

5. If handling the product yields hazardous
substances or fuels that must be disposed
of in a special way, e.g. coolants or engine
oils that must be replenished regularly, the
safety instructions of the manufacturer of
the hazardous substances or fuels and the
applicable regional waste disposal
regulations must be observed. Also
observe the relevant safety instructions in
the product documentation.

6. Depending on the function, certain products
such as RF radio equipment can produce
an elevated level of electromagnetic
radiation. Considering that unborn life
requires increased protection, pregnant
women should be protected by appropriate
measures. Persons with pacemakers may
also be endangered by electromagnetic
radiation. The employer/operator is
required to assess workplaces where there
is a special risk of exposure to radiation
and, if necessary, take measures to avert
the danger.

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

8. Prior to switching on the product, it must be
ensured that the nominal voltage setting on
the product matches the nominal voltage of
the AC supply network. If a different voltage
is to be set, the power fuse of the product
may have to be changed accordingly.

9. In the case of products of safety class I with
movable power cord and connector,
operation is permitted only on sockets with
earthing contact and protective earth
connection.

10. Intentionally breaking the protective earth
connection 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.

11. If the product 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 times
(corresponding to the length of connecting
cable, approx. 2 m). Functional or
electronic switches are not suitable for
providing disconnection from the AC
supply. If products without power switches
are integrated in racks or systems, a
disconnecting device must be provided at
the system level.

12. Never use the product if the power cable is
damaged. Check the power cable on a
regular basis to ensure that it is 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
e.g. tripping over the cable or suffering an
electric shock.

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

14. Do not insert the plug into sockets that are
dusty or dirty. Insert the plug firmly and all
the way into the socket. Otherwise, this can
result in sparks, fire and/or injuries.

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

16. For measurements in circuits with voltages
V

> 30 V, suitable measures (e.g.

rms

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

17. Ensure that the connections with
information technology equipment comply
with IEC 950/EN 60950.

18. 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.

Safety Instructions

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

20. For permanently installed equipment
without built-in fuses, circuit breakers or
similar protective devices, the supply circuit
must be fused in such a way that suitable
protection is provided for users and
products.

21. Do not insert any objects into the openings
in the housing that are not designed for this
purpose. Never pour any liquids onto or into
the housing. This can cause short circuits
inside the product and/or electric shocks,
fire or injuries.

22. Use suitable overvoltage protection to
ensure that no overvoltage (such as that
caused by a thunderstorm) can reach the
product. Otherwise the operating personnel
will be endangered by electric shocks.

23. Rohde & Schwarz products are not
protected against penetration of water,
unless otherwise specified (see also safety
instruction 1.). If this is not taken into
account, there exists the danger of electric
shock for the user or damage to the
product, which can also lead to personal
injury.

24. Never use the product under conditions in
which condensation has formed or can form
in or on the product, e.g. if the product was
moved from a cold to a warm environment.

25. Do not close any slots or openings on the
product, since they are necessary for
ventilation and prevent the product from
overheating. Do not place the product on
soft surfaces such as sofas or rugs or
inside a closed housing, unless this is well
ventilated.

26. Do not place the product on heat­generating devices such as radiators or fan
heaters. The temperature of the
environment must not exceed the maximum
temperature specified in the data sheet.

27. Batteries and storage batteries must not be
exposed to high temperatures or fire. Keep
batteries and storage batteries away from
children. Do not short-circuit batteries and
storage batteries.
If batteries or storage batteries are
improperly replaced, this can cause an
explosion (warning: lithium cells). Replace

the battery or storage battery only with the
matching Rohde & Schwarz type (see
spare parts list). Batteries and storage
batteries must be recycled and kept
separate from residual waste. Batteries and
storage batteries that contain lead, mercury
or cadmium are hazardous waste. Observe
the national regulations regarding waste
disposal and recycling.

28. Please be aware that in the event of a fire,
toxic substances (gases, liquids etc.) that
may be hazardous to your health may
escape from the product.

29. The product can be very heavy. Be careful
when moving it to avoid back or other
physical injuries.

30. 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).

31. Handles on the products are designed
exclusively for personnel to hold or carry
the product. It is therefore not permissible
to use handles for fastening the product to
or on means of transport such as cranes,
fork lifts, wagons, etc. The user is
responsible for securely fastening the
products to or on the means of transport
and for observing the safety regulations of
the manufacturer of the means of transport.
Noncompliance can result in personal injury
or material damage.

32. If you use the product in a vehicle, it is the
sole responsibility of the driver to drive the
vehicle safely. Adequately secure the
product in the vehicle to prevent injuries or
other damage in the event of an accident.
Never use the product in a moving vehicle if
doing so could distract the driver of the
vehicle. The driver is always responsible for
the safety of the vehicle. The manufacturer
assumes no responsibility for accidents or
collisions.

33. If a laser product (e.g. a CD/DVD drive) is
integrated in a Rohde & Schwarz product,
do not use any other settings or functions
than those described in the product
documentation. Otherwise this may be
hazardous to your health, since the laser
beam can cause irreversible damage to
your eyes. Never try to take such products
apart, and never look into the laser beam.

R&S SMR Putting into Operation

1 Putting into Operation

This chapter contains all information about putting into operation (unpacking, connection to AC supply,
switching on and off), functional testing and installation of the instrument, preset settings and views of
the front and rear panel showing the controls and connectors needed for operation.

General Instructions

Before putting the SMR into operation, please make sure that

• the covers of the casing are put on and screwed,

• the ventilation openings are free,

• no signal voltage levels exceeding the permissible limits are applied at the inputs,

• the outputs of the instrument are not overloaded or connected incorrectly.

If these points are not observed, the instrument might be damaged.

Unpacking the Instrument

 Take the instrument out of the shipping box and check whether the

items listed in the packing list and in the lists of accessories are all
included.

 Remove the two protective caps from the front and rear of the SMR

remove protective cabs

Should the instrument be damaged, immediately notify the forwarder who shipped the instrument to you
and keep the box and packing material.

For further transport or shipment of the SMR the original packing should also be used. It is
recommended to keep at least the two protective caps for front and rear side in order to prevent
damage to the controls and connectors.

and carefully check the instrument for damage.

Setting up the Instrument

For applications in the laboratory or on a work bench, it is recommended that the support feet on the
bottom of the instrument be extended. For the LCD display, this provides the optimum viewing angle
which typically ranges from perpendicular to the display front to approximately 30° below.

WARNING

1134.9108.12 E-1 1.1

The feet must be fully folded in or out. Only in this way can the stability of SML be
guaranteed and reliable operation be ensured. With the feet out, the weight of other
units put onto SML must not exceed 30 kg. The units must be secured against
slipping (eg by locking the feet of the unit at the top side of the enclosure).

When shifting the unit with the feet out, the feet might collapse and fold in. To avoid
injuries, the unit must therefore not be shifted with the feet out.

Putting into Operation R&S SMR

Supply Voltage

The SMR can be operated at a.c. systems from 100 to 120 V and 200 to 240 V at system frequencies
from 50 to 60 Hz. The power supply socket is situated at the rear of the instrument. The instrument
automatically sets itself to the voltage applied within the permissible voltage ranges. It is not necessary
to set the instrument to a certain supply voltage.

How to Ensure EMC

In order to avoid electromagnetic interference, the instrument may only be operated when it is closed
and with all shielding covers fitted. Only appropriate shielded signal and control cables may be used.

Power Fuses

The SMR is protected against short circuits by means of two fuses according to nameplate of the power
supply. The fuses are situated in the draw-out fuse holder which is inserted close to the power supply
socket (see below).

Initial Status

Upon switching on, the instrument automatically assumes the status which was set when it was
switched off.
If the instrument need not to be operated from the initial status any further, a defined default status
should be established by pressing the [PRESET] key prior to further settings.

Frequency accuracy after switching on when the oven-controlled reference oscillator is fitted
(option SMR-B1)

The reference oscillator needs some minutes of warm-up time to reach its nominal frequency. During
this period of time, the output frequency does not yet reach its final value either. In the status line in the
header field of the display the message "OVEN COLD" is displayed for this time.

Switch on:  Press switch.
The instrument is ready for operation.

Switch off:  Release switch.

RAM With Battery Back-Up

The SMR has a static read-write memory (CMOS-RAM) with battery back-up, in which 50 different
complete settings of the instrument can be stored (cf. Chapter 3, section "Storing and Calling of

1134.9108.12 E-1 1.2

R&S SMR Putting into Operation

Instrument Settings"). In addition, all data and/or lists the user enters himself, such as for list mode,
memory sequence, and user correction of the level, are stored in the RAM. Further, all data of the
calibrations running within the instrument in the SMR are stored in the RAM (cf. Chapter 4, section
"Calibration" and Service Manual Instrument). A lithium battery with a service life of approx. 5 years
serves to supply the RAM with power. When the battery is discharged, the data stored will be lost.
Exchanging the battery is described in the Service Manual Instrument.

Preset Setting

A defined setting status is achieved by pressing the [PRESET] key.

Preset Status:

RF frequency 10 GHz
RF level -20 dBm
Reference frequency internal, adjustment off
Offsets 0
Modulations switched off
Transient-free level setting switched off, level attenuator mode: Auto
Internal level control level Alc: On
User correction level Ucor: Off
LF output switched off
Sweep switched off
List mode switched off
Memory sequence switched off
Suppression of indications system security: unaltered
Protection of calibration data protection lock: unaltered
Settings stored unaltered
Data, lists etc. stored unaltered
IEC-bus address unaltered

All parameters and circuit states, even those of operating modes which are not activated, are preset by
means of Preset. The presettings going beyond the above list can be seen from the menu
representations as of Chapter 4 which each indicate the Preset setting status.

Functional Test

On switching on the instrument and permanently during operation, the SMR carries out a self test. The
ROM contents as well as the battery of the non-volatile RAM are checked. The most important
instrument functions are automatically monitored during operation. If an error is detected, the message
"Err" is displayed in the status line. For further identification of the error, press the [ERROR] key.
Thereupon a description of the error is displayed (cf. Chapter 9, section "Error Messages"). Return to
the menu exited by pressing the [BACK] key. If required, internal test points can be polled by the user
and the results be read out and displayed. Cf. Service Manual Instrument.

Mounting into a 19" Rack

CAUTION

The SMR can be mounted into a 19" rack by means of rack adapter ZZA-94 (stock no. 396.4905.00).
The mounting instructions are attached to the adapter.

Ensure free air inlet at the perforation of the side walls and air outlet at the rear of the

generator, for example calling up of menus, selection and editing of parameters, use of the list editor
and the SAVE/RECALL function. This chapter also contains an overview of menus showing the
functions available for the instruments and its options.

It is useful to read the sample settings for first users in Chapter 2, "Short Tutorial".

Design of the Display

Fig. 3-1 Design of the display

(1) Header field

(2) Status line

(3) Menu fields

The header field of the display indicates frequency and level of the RF output
signal. In the RF-sweep operating mode, the start and stop frequencies are
displayed in two lines one above the other. The start and stop levels are indicated in
the LEVEL-sweep operating mode correspondingly. With User Correction On, the
current frequency and the corresponding correction value are indicated in two lines.

The status line indicates at the left the menu path of the current menu and at the

right the operating mode and operating state of the instrument. Error messages and
notes for caution are also displayed in the status line.

The indication fields below the status line are reserved for the menu

representations. The image contents of these fields change as a function of the
menu selected.

The lowest menu level shows the setting menu with the current settings of the
selected menu. Settings are made in select or input windows which open when the
current setting is activated.

Basic Operating Steps R&S SMR

Basic Operating Steps

To operate the instrument, menus are called in the display. All setting possibilities and the current
setting status are evident from the menus. All settings can be made by accessing the menus.
RF frequency and RF level can also be set without menu operation using keys [FREQ] and [LEVEL].
RF signal and modulation can also be switched on/off without menu operation using keys [RF ON/OFF]
and/or [MOD ON/OFF].

Calling the menus

Accessing the menus is effected using rotary knob [VARIATION], [SELECT] key and [BACK] key.

Rotary knob

[SELECT] key

[BACK] key

Settings are accessed in the setting menus ending with the right-hand display margin.

Rotary knob [VARIATION] moves the menu cursor over the positions of a menu level
to be selected.
If a scrollbar is visible at the right-hand margin of a menu, the menu is larger than
the screen window. If the menu cursor is moved to the margin of the screen window,
the covered lines become visible.

If the rotary knob is pressed after a position has been selected, the lower menu level
or the respective settings are called. The rotary knob hence has the same function
as the [SELECT] key.

If the rotary knob is pressed while [BACK] is selected, the menu cursor wraps back
to the menu last called.

The [SELECT] key acknowledges the selection marked by means of the menu
cursor. Depending on the position, the next lower menu level or the the respective
setting is called.

The [BACK] key

- returns the menu cursor to the next higher menu level; the menu cursor is shifted
to the left into the preceding column of the menu structure,

- resets the menu cursor from frequency or level value indication in the header field
into the menu field to the menu called last,

- closes the display pages called using keys [STATUS], [HELP] and [ERROR]
again.

R&S SMR List Editor

List Editor

The SMR offers the facility of generating lists for automatic sequences (list mode, memory sequence) or
for user-defined level correction (Ucor). The lists consist of elements (pairs of values) which are defined by
an index and at least one parameter per index. Each list is assigned a separate name and selected by
means of this name. Access to the lists is made in the associated menus. For example, sequences of
frequency and level value pairs can be accessed in the List menu. How to generate and edit lists is
explained in detail in this section by the example of the List mode (List menu, see Fig. 3-3).
