2 Putting into Operation
The probe is designed for usage with oscilloscopes that have a Rohde & Schwarz
probe interface. Supported Rohde & Schwarz oscilloscopes are listed in the pro-
be's data sheet.
Read and observe the "Basic Safety Instructions" that are delivered with the
probe as a printed brochure. Also, read and observe the safety instructions of the
oscilloscope the probe is connected to.
Maximum non-destructive input voltage
The maximum non-destructive input voltage is ±30 V. A higher input voltage
can destroy the probe.
The maximum input voltage is derated for higher frequencies. Refer to the
data sheet for further information.
Risk of device damage
The R&S RT‑ZS10/20/30 can withstand a moderate amount of physical and
electrical stress. To avoid damage, treat the probe with care:
●
Do not exceed the specified voltage limits.
●
Connect the R&S RT‑ZS10/20/30 only to an instrument with
Rohde & Schwarz probe interface. Never connect it to a usual BNC
jack. Although the 7 mm coaxial connector looks like a standard BNC
connector, it is constructed differently and does not fit to the standard
BNC jack. The interface of the R&S RT‑ZS10/20/30 can withstand a
higher frequency limit.
●
Avoid excessive strain on the probe cable, and kinking.
●
Prevent the adapter from receiving mechanical shock.
●
Do not spill liquids on the probe.
●
Store the probe in a shock-resistant case, e.g. in the foam-lined ship-
ping case.
