Protective Measures against Electrostatic Discharge
Damage to the equipment under test due to electrostatic discharge
In order to avoid damage to the electronic components of the equipment under test
due to electrostatic discharge when touched, we recommend that you use the
appropriate protective equipment.
1.3.3.3
EMC Safety Precautions
Prevent electromagnetic interference
To prevent electromagnetic interference, the instrument must be operated only when
closed and with all shielding covers fitted. Only suitable and shielded signal and control
cables may be used.
●
This applies particularly to cables that are connected to the RF Out, 10 MHz In,
ASI In A/B, Data LAN A/B, Data SFP+, and Control LAN. Regardless of the data
rate and the packet timing of the transport stream, high signal levels can occur at
individual points in the signal spectrum. To avoid EMC problems, the cables should
have at least 80 dB shielding protection up to 1 GHz. This generally requires the
use of cables with double shielding.
●
When wiring the LAN interface (100 BASE-T), make sure that a suitable cable (e.g.
Category 5e) is used.
1.3.4 Connecting the Instrument to AC Power
The instrument is equipped with a universal power supply that accepts an AC voltage
range of 85 to 264 VAC at a frequency range of 47 to 63 Hz. No external switching or
modification of the fuse is necessary. The AC power connector is at the rear of the
instrument.
●
Use the supplied AC power cable to connect the instrument to the AC power
supply. Since the instrument complies with safety class EN61010-1, it should only
be connected to a socket with a ground contact.
A standard EU power cord (with CEE 7/7 plug) is provided with every unit and if
the buyer is located outside the EU, a power cord compliant with safety regulations
for that location is supplied.
●
Set the AC switch on the rear of the instrument to the I position.
