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.
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
(e.g. appropriate 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 IEC60950-1/EN60950-1 or
IEC61010-1/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.
