Basic Safety Instructions

Operating states and operating positions

The product may be operated only under the operating conditions and in the positions specified by the
manufacturer, without the product's ventilation being obstructed. If the manufacturer's specifications are
not observed, this can result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury or death. Applicable local
or national safety regulations and rules for the prevention of accidents must be observed in all work
performed.

1. Unless otherwise specified, the following requirements apply to Rohde & Schwarz products:
predefined operating position is always with the housing floor facing down, IP protection 2X, use only
indoors, max. operating altitude 2000 m above sea level, max. transport altitude 4500 m above sea
level. A tolerance of ±10 % shall apply to the nominal voltage and ±5 % to the nominal frequency,
overvoltage category 2, pollution degree 2.

2. 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). An installation
that is not carried out as described in the product documentation could result in personal injury or
even death.

3. Do not place the product on heat-generating devices such as radiators or fan heaters. The ambient
temperature must not exceed the maximum temperature specified in the product documentation or in
the data sheet. Product overheating can cause electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury or
even death.

Electrical safety

If the information on electrical safety is not observed either at all or to the extent necessary, electric shock,
fire and/or serious personal injury or death may occur.

1. Prior to switching on the product, always ensure that the nominal voltage setting on the product
matches the nominal voltage of the mains-supply network. If a different voltage is to be set, the power
fuse of the product may have to be changed accordingly.

2. In the case of products of safety class I with movable power cord and connector, operation is
permitted only on sockets with a protective conductor contact and protective conductor.

3. Intentionally breaking the protective conductor 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.

4. If there is no power switch for disconnecting the product from the mains, or if the power switch is not
suitable for this purpose, use the plug of the connecting cable to disconnect the product from the
mains. In such cases, always ensure that the power plug is easily reachable and accessible at all
times. For example, if the power plug is the disconnecting device, the length of the connecting cable
must not exceed 3 m. Functional or electronic switches are not suitable for providing disconnection
from the AC supply network. If products without power switches are integrated into racks or systems,
the disconnecting device must be provided at the system level.

5. Never use the product if the power cable is damaged. Check the power cables on a regular basis to
ensure that they are 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, for example, tripping over the cable or suffering an electric shock.

1171.0000.42 - 09 Page 3

Basic Safety Instructions

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

7. Do not insert the plug into sockets that are dusty or dirty. Insert the plug firmly and all the way into the
socket provided for this purpose. Otherwise, sparks that result in fire and/or injuries may occur.

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

9. For measurements in circuits with voltages V

> 30 V, suitable measures (e.g. appropriate

rms

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

10. Ensure that the connections with information technology equipment, e.g. PCs or other industrial
computers, comply with the IEC 60950-1 / EN 60950-1 or IEC 61010-1 / EN 61010-1 standards that
apply in each case.

11. 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.

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

13. For permanently installed equipment without built-in fuses, circuit breakers or similar protective
devices, the supply circuit must be fuse-protected in such a way that anyone who has access to the
product, as well as the product itself, is adequately protected from injury or damage.

14. Use suitable overvoltage protection to ensure that no overvoltage (such as that caused by a bolt of
lightning) can reach the product. Otherwise, the person operating the product will be exposed to the
danger of an electric shock.

15. Any object that is not designed to be placed in the openings of the housing must not be used for this
purpose. Doing so can cause short circuits inside the product and/or electric shocks, fire or injuries.

16. Unless specified otherwise, products are not liquid-proof (see also section "Operating states and
operating positions", item 1). Therefore, the equipment must be protected against penetration by
liquids. If the necessary precautions are not taken, the user may suffer electric shock or the product
itself may be damaged, which can also lead to personal injury.

17. Never use the product under conditions in which condensation has formed or can form in or on the
product, e.g. if the product has been moved from a cold to a warm environment. Penetration by water
increases the risk of electric shock.

18. Prior to cleaning the product, disconnect it completely from the power supply (e.g. AC supply network
or battery). Use a soft, non-linting cloth to clean the product. Never use chemical cleaning agents such
as alcohol, acetone or diluents for cellulose lacquers.

Operation

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

1171.0000.42 - 09 Page 4

Basic Safety Instructions

2. Before you move or transport the product, read and observe the section titled "Transport".

3. As with all industrially manufactured goods, the use of substances that induce an allergic reaction
(allergens) such as nickel cannot be generally excluded. If you develop an allergic reaction (such as a
skin rash, frequent sneezing, red eyes or respiratory difficulties) when using a Rohde & Schwarz
product, consult a physician immediately to determine the cause and to prevent health problems or
stress.

4. Before you start processing the product mechanically and/or thermally, or before you take it apart, be
sure to read and pay special attention to the section titled "Waste disposal/Environmental protection",
item 1.

5. Depending on the function, certain products such as RF radio equipment can produce an elevated
level of electromagnetic radiation. Considering that unborn babies require increased protection,
pregnant women must be protected by appropriate measures. Persons with pacemakers may also be
exposed to risks from electromagnetic radiation. The employer/operator must evaluate workplaces
where there is a special risk of exposure to radiation and, if necessary, take measures to avert the
potential danger.

6. Should a fire occur, the product may release hazardous substances (gases, fluids, etc.) that can
cause health problems. Therefore, suitable measures must be taken, e.g. protective masks and
protective clothing must be worn.

7. Laser products are given warning labels that are standardized according to their laser class. Lasers
can cause biological harm due to the properties of their radiation and due to their extremely
concentrated electromagnetic power. If a laser product (e.g. a CD/DVD drive) is integrated into a
Rohde & Schwarz product, absolutely no other settings or functions may be used as described in the
product documentation. The objective is to prevent personal injury (e.g. due to laser beams).

8. EMC classes (in line with EN 55011/CISPR 11, and analogously with EN 55022/CISPR 22,
EN 55032/CISPR 32)
 Class A equipment:

Equipment suitable for use in all environments except residential environments and environments
that are directly connected to a low-voltage supply network that supplies residential buildings
Note: Class A equipment is intended for use in an industrial environment. This equipment may
cause radio disturbances in residential environments, due to possible conducted as well as
radiated disturbances. In this case, the operator may be required to take appropriate measures to
eliminate these disturbances.

 Class B equipment:

Equipment suitable for use in residential environments and environments that are directly
connected to a low-voltage supply network that supplies residential buildings

Repair and service

1. The product may be opened only by authorized, specially trained personnel. Before any work is

Refer to the R&S ROMES and R&S ViCom manual for more details.

Moreover, the R&S TSMW can be used as a real-time scanner for I/Q baseband data.
OptionR&S TSMW-K1 (Gigabit LAN I/Q Interface) offers a MATLAB® and a C++ inter­face to measure I/Q data and to transmit and evaluate this data.

The R&S TSMW-K1 option offers various interfaces for use:

8.1 R&S TSMW-K1 Digital I/Q SW Option

A special asset of the R&S TSMW is its R&S TSMW-K1 Gigabit LAN I/Q Interface. It
provides a data interface application. The application provides a MATLAB® interface
and an equivalent C++ function interface for performing measurements directly on the
R&S TSMW radio network analyzer . The results are processed on the host controller
or another Rohde & Schwarz instrument (e.g. transmits the I/Q data over the
Rohde & Schwarz Digital I/Q Interface to the R&S IQR). The option enables you, for
example, not only to design and analyze receiver algorithms in MATLAB®, but also to
port them to C++ as a real-time version. Or you can even perform technology-inde­pendent channel measurements, which can be used to simulate realistic fading scenar­ios in the lab.

The option offers different I/Q measurement types:

The measured I/Q data from a periodic or a single measurement is usually transmitted
over the Gigabit LAN interface. The bandwidth of an Ethernet connection is mostly suf­ficient for the transfer of I/Q data to the destination instrument or host controller. How­ever, for measured I/Q data of a stream measurement the R&S TSMW-B1 is recom­mended as interface. R&S TSMW-B1 allows you to transmit more I/Q data per second
than a Gigabit LAN connection. Thus, the R&S TSMW can perform measurements with
a higher sampling rate without data loss. For more details, refer to the R&S TSMW
interface programming manual, chapter "R&S TSMW-K1 -> Additional Requirements
for I/Q Streaming".

8.1.3 Preparations

Please refer to the R&S TSMW-K1 description in the R&S TSMW interface program­ming manual.

8.1.4 Matlab® Functions

If the m-files are located in the current working directory, the appropriate action is exe­cuted by retrieving a function with the corresponding parameters:

[outputvalue1,outputvaluet2,...]=function_name(inputvalue1,
inputvalue2,...);

For a detailed explanation, please refer to the R&S TSMW interface programming
manual.

8.2 R&S TSMW-B1 Digital I/Q Interface

Due to its higher transmission bandwidth, the Rohde & Schwarz Digital I/Q Interface
(R&S TSMW-B1) enables I/Q streaming with a maximum of 2 × 20 MHz bandwidth.

The R&S TSMW is directly connected to the R&S IQR and operates via the R&S IQR
touch screen. The I/Q data stored on the removable hard disks of the R&S IQR can be
output to a host controller via Gigabit Ethernet for offline analysis. All Rohde &
Schwarz instruments with a Rohde & Schwarz Digital I/Q interface, e.g. a signal gener­ator, can be connected via the digital I/Q interface.

Figure 8-1: Example setup: measure (R&S TSMW) - transfer (R&S TSMW) - record (R&S IQR) - replay

8.2.1 Transfer Mode

(R&S IQR)

The data transfer mode controls the flow of measured I/Q data over the Rohde &
Schwarz Digital I/Q Interface. The transfer mode is automatically communicated to the
destination instrument using the control lines of the interface; there is no need to adjust
any settings at the destination instrument.

The R&S TSMW always uses transfer mode 1 for data transmitting. Transfer mode 1 is
supported by all Rohde & Schwarz instruments which are equipped with the Rohde &
Schwarz Digital I/Q Interface.

Identifying Error State via Front Panel LEDs

11 Troubleshooting

11.1 Identifying the Hardware Revision

The current hardware revision can be identified via the following steps:

1. Start a browser and open the R&S TSMW HTML page.

2. Look at the "Hardware Configuration" information (top right).

3. Check the "Hardware Code" entry in this list

If the hardware code has the value ‘000’:

● the instrument does not support the REF output function.

● the instrument cannot use GLONASS or Galileo.

If the hardware code has the value ‘001’ or higher:

● the instrument supports the "REF" output function.

● the instrument is equipped with an LEA-6H GPS engine and supports GLO-

NASS* or GALILEO.
NOTE: A firmware update of the embedded GPS receiver might be necessary
to support this feature.

11.2 Self Test of the RF Chain

This test is used to verify the complete RF chain in the instrument. The test can be trig­gered via the command line and, for later releases, also via the instrument web inter­face.

1. Connect the test output and the RF1 or RF2 with the corresponding cables.

2. Establish a terminal connection via RS232.

3. Perform rf_selftest [1: RF1 / 2: RF2 ]

The self test is performed. The result is "passed" or "failed".

4. Connect the test cable to the other RF port.

5. Perform rf_selftest [1: RF1 / 2: RF2 ]

The self test is performed. The result is "passed" or "failed".

11.3 Identifying Error State via Front Panel LEDs

The following LEDs on the front panel indicate an error (see Chapter 3.1, "Front

If the RF input is too high for the front ends, the signal overdrives and cannot be pro­cessed any more.

If the RF OVR LED turns on:

► Immediately turn down the RF input.

If the LED is still illuminated:

1. Switch off the instrument

2. Measure RF input signal strength and correct it

The instrument is not protected against destruction by over modulation.

Temperature error

The electronic equipment in the radio network analyzer is protected against thermal
destruction. If the temperature inside the analyzer exceeds a specific limit, the instru-

R&S®TSMW and R&S®TSMF

ment changes to the TEMP ERROR mode and switches off the main voltages. The
ventilation runs another 15 sec then also the LEDs turn off.

If the temperature error occurs repeatedly within the operating temperature range.

► Make sure that the air can escape freely through the vents at the sides on the left

and the right.

To switch the instrument to standby mode again, press the POWER button.

If the temperature error occurs repeatedly even with unrestricted air circulation

► Return the instrument to Rohde & Schwarz service.

Configuration error

The instruments configuration data and the boot sequence are read from the internal
compact flash (CF) card.

If the CONFIG ERROR LED indicates "Flash Card Missing" (LED is blinking fast)
immediately after the analyzer has been powered on, the configuration data cannot be
read from the CF card or the flash card contains erroneous or corrupt files. After five
seconds indicating a configuration error, the instrument switches to standby mode.

Troubleshooting

Identifying Error State via Front Panel LEDs

If the CONFIG ERROR LED indicates "Flash Card Missing" (LED is blinking fast) dur­ing a R&S ROMES measurements, there is usually a program failure in the instrument
itself. The instrument no longer responds to theR&S ROMES application.

1. Monitor the RS-232-C output (see Tracing R&S ROMES Measuring mode) and the
PROCESS LEDs on the front panel (see R&S ROMES Measuring mode)

If an error occurs, the blinking of the LEDs stops.

2. Shut down the R&S ROMES application from the Windows task manager and .

3. Reset the instrument

4. Wait for the instrument to complete the power-on sequence

5. Set up a new R&S ROMES measurement.

6. If the error persists, contact Rohde & Schwarz support.

Instrument warranty

You lose any kind of warranty if you open the cover of the flash card on the rear panel
and remove the flash card.

For information on how to perform R&S ROMES measurements, refer to the R&S
ROMES documentation.

11.5 Troubleshooting via RS 232

Status information is output at the serial interface. The information can be used to
check whether the instrument is in running order.

After installing the R&S TSMW-K1 option, two new links will appear in the start menu:

●

TSMW Hyper Terminal (Default COM 1)

●

TSMW Web interface with default IP address (192.168.0.2)

11.5.1 RS-232-C Output

During power-on and normal operation the instrument outputs status information via
the RS-232-C connector on the rear panel parallel to standard communication via the
LAN interface. Monitoring the output information on the serial interface does not
decrease the analyzer's performance, but is a tool to verify the analyzer's current state.

To display the status information on the host PC

1. Connect a serial 9-pin null modem cable between the RS-232-C socket of the ana­lyzer and the serial interface of the host PC.

2. 2. Set up a terminal program connection on the RS-232-C interface od your host
PC with the following settings:

● Bits per second: 115200

● Data bits: 8

● Parity: no parity

● Stop bit: 1

● Flow control: no flow control

3. Start the terminal session

11.5.2 Tracing Power-On Sequence

Danger of instrument damage

Make sure that no application (R&S TSMW, firmware update, or customer application)
communicates with the instrument during this test.

1. Set the instrument in standby mode.

2. Reboot the instrument

The following listing on the "Hyper Terminal" screen indicates, that the network
analyzer has completed the power-on sequence successfully and is ready for the
application program download via the LAN interface.
