Safety Instructions
The R&S
QPS is manufactured according to the highest technical standards. To use
the scanner safely, follow the instructions provided here and throughout the product
documentation. Keep the documentation nearby and offer it to other users.
Use the scanner only as intended and within its performance limits. The limits are
described in the product documentation, such as the data sheet, manuals and this bro-
chure. If you are unsure about the appropriate use, contact the Rohde
&
Schwarz cus-
tomer service.
Using the scanner requires specialists or specially trained personnel. These users also
need sound knowledge of at least one of the languages in which the user interface and
the product documentation are available.
If any part of the product is damaged or broken, stop using the product. Never open
the casing of the scanner or its components. Only service personnel authorized by
Rohde
&
Schwarz are allowed to repair the product.
Lifting, carrying and installing the R&S
QPS
The R&S
QPS is heavy and can cause physical injuries when it falls or tips over.
Setup and installation must be done by trained staff. Make sure to install the R&S
QPS
exactly as described in the installation manual. During the installation, make sure that
the installation site is only accessible by people working on the installation.
Because of its weight, at least two strong people are required to move or install the
scanner. Lifting heavy items can cause structural and muscular injuries. You must use
the specially designed installation tool if you have to move or lift the scanner panels
(R&S
QPS-Z800, order no. 1333.5900.02). You must also use the installation tool to
install the scanner on the platform.
Using the installation tool can pinch your fingers, especially when you attach it to the
R&S
QPS and when you use the levers.
Loose ball-lock pins can cause the panels to fall over during transportation. Make sure
that the ball-lock pin is seated correctly whenever you use one.
If you have to move the pallet the R&S
QPS is delivered on, always use a forklift.
During transport, installation or repair, wear appropriate protective clothing that com-
plies with your local rules and regulations. If you are unsure of which equipment to use,
ask your safety inspector.
We recommend to wear:
●
Safety shoes with toe cap and ESD protection.
●
Protective gloves
ESD protected shoes and gloves also protect the hardware from being damaged.
