2.1 Preparing for Use
2.1.1 Unpacking and Checking the Instrument
Getting Started
Preparing for Use
1. Inspect the package for damage. If the packaging material shows any signs of stress, notify the carrier who delivered
the instrument.
2. Carefully unpack the instrument and the accessories.
3. Check the equipment for completeness. See section "Delivery contents" on page 21.
4. Check the equipment for damage. If there is damage, or anything is missing, immediately contact the carrier as well as your distributor. Make sure not to discard the box and packing material.
Packing material
Retain the original packing material. If the instrument needs to be transported or ship­ped later, you can use the material to protect the control elements and connectors.
Delivery contents
The delivery package contains the following items:
R&S RTM3000 oscilloscope
R&S RT-ZP05 probes (2x for R&S RTM3002; 4x for R&S RTM3004)
Country-specific power cable

2.1.2 Positioning the Instrument
The instrument is designed for use under laboratory conditions. It can be used in standalone operation on a bench top or can be installed in a rack.
For standalone operation, place the instrument on a horizontal bench with even, flat surface. The instrument can be used in horizontal position, or with the support feet on the bottom extended.

Getting Started
Preparing for Use
The instrument can be installed in a 19" rack mount using a rack mount kit. The order number of the rack mount kit is given in the data sheet. The installation instructions are part of the rack mount kit.
Risk of injury if feet are folded out
The feet can fold in if they are not folded out completely or if the instrument is shifted. This can cause damage or injury.
Fold the feet completely in or out to ensure stability of the instrument. Never shift the instrument when the feet are folded out.
When the feet are folded out, do not work under the instrument or place anything underneath.
The feet can break if they are overloaded. The overall load on the folded-out feet must not exceed 200 N.

Risk of instrument damage due to overheating
An insufficient airflow can cause the R&S RTM3000 to overheat, which can impair the measurement results, disturb the operation, and even cause damage.
Ensure that all fan openings are unobstructed and that the airflow perforations are unimpeded. The minimum distance to a wall is 10 cm.
When placing several instruments side by side, keep a minimum distance of 20 cm between the instruments. Ensure that the instruments do not draw in the preheated air from their neighbors.
When mounting the instrument in a rack, observe the instructions of the rack man­ufacturer to ensure sufficient airflow and avoid overheating.
2.1.3 Starting the Instrument
The R&S RTM3000 can be used with different AC power voltages and adapts itself automatically to it.
The nominal ranges are:
100 V to 240 V AC at 50 Hz to 60 Hz
1.6 A to 0.7 A

max. 160 W
Risk of injury
Connect the instrument only to an outlet that has a ground contact. Do not use an isolating transformer to connect the instrument to the AC power supply.
To start the instrument
1. Connect the power cable to the AC power connector on the rear panel of the R&S RTM3000.
2. Connect the power cable to the socket outlet.
3. Switch the main power switch at the rear of the instrument to position I. The [Standby] key lights up. The key is located in the bottom left corner of the front
panel.
4. Press the [Standby] key. The instrument performs a system check and starts the firmware.
Warm-up and prepare the instrument
Make sure that the instrument has been running and warming up before you start the self-alignment and the measurements. The minimum warm-up time is about 30 min.
To power off the instrument
1. Press the [Standby] key. All current settings are saved, and the software shuts down. All data transfers and
running processes are interrupted.
2. Switch the main power switch at the rear of the instrument to position 0.
3. Disconnect the AC power cable from the AC power supply.

Risk of electric shock
The fuse is part of the main power supply. Therefore, handling the fuse while power is on can lead to electric shock. Before opening the fuse holder, make sure that the instrument is switched off and disconnected from all power supplies.
Always use fuses supplied by Rohde & Schwarz as spare parts, or fuses of the same type and rating.
1. Pull the fuse holder out of its slot on the rear panel.
2. Exchange the fuse.
3. Insert the fuse holder carefully back in its slot until it latches.

Instrument Tour
BNC inputs (4 and 5)
The R&S RTM3000 has two or four channel inputs (4) to connect the input signals. The external trigger input (5) is used to control the measurement by an external signal. The trigger level can be set from -5 V to 5 V.
For channel connectors, the input impedance is selectable, the values are 50 and 1 MΩ.
Risk of electrical shock - maximum input voltages
The maximum input voltage on channel inputs must not exceed:
400 V (peak) and 300 V (RMS) at 1 MΩ input impedance
30 V (peak) and 5 V (RMS) at 50 Ω input impedance
For the external trigger input, the maximum input voltage is 400 V (peak) and 300 V (RMS) at 1 MΩ input impedance.
Transient overvoltages must not exceed 400 V (peak). For further specifications, refer to the data sheet. Voltages higher than 30 V (RMS) or 42 V (peak) or 60 V DC are regarded as hazard-
ous contact voltages. When working with hazardous contact voltages, use appropriate protective measures to preclude direct contact with the measurement setup:
Use only insulated voltage probes, test leads and adapters.
Do not touch voltages higher than 30 V (RMS) or 42 V (peak) or 60 V DC.
Risk of injury and instrument damage
The instrument is not rated for any measurement category. When measuring in circuits with transient overvoltages of category II, III or IV circuits, make sure that no such overvoltages reach the R&S RTM3000 input. Therefore, use only probes that comply with DIN EN 61010-031. When measuring in category II, III or IV circuits, always insert a probe that appropriately reduces the voltage so that no transient overvoltages higher than 400 V (peak) are applied to the instrument. For detailed information, refer to the documentation and safety information of the probe manufacturer.
Explanation: According to section AA.2.4 of EN 61010-2-030, measuring circuits with­out any measurement category are intended for measurements on circuits which are not directly connected to the mains.
