R&S®RTC1000 1 For Your Safety For Your Safety The R&S RTC1000 digital oscilloscope is designed for measurements on circuits that are only indirectly connected to the mains or not connected at all. It is not rated for any measurement category. The instrument must be controlled by personnel familiar with the potential risks of measuring electrical quantities. Applicable local or national safety regulations and rules for the prevention of accidents must be observed.
R&S®RTC1000 For Your Safety Risk of instrument damage An unsuitable operating site or test setup can damage the instrument and connected devices. Ensure the following operating conditions before you switch on the instrument: ● Read and observe the "Basic Safety Instructions" brochure and the safety instructions in the manuals. ● Observe the operating conditions specified in the data sheet. Note that the general safety instructions also contain information on operating conditions.

R&S®RTC1000 Preparing for Use Unpacking and Checking the Instrument 3 Preparing for Use 3.1 Unpacking and Checking the Instrument 1. Inspect the package for damage. If the packaging material shows any signs of stress, notify the carrier who delivered the instrument. 2. Carefully unpack the instrument and the accessories. 3. Check the equipment for completeness. See section "Delivery contents" on page 9. 4. Check the equipment for damage.
R&S®RTC1000 Preparing for Use Positioning the Instrument 3.2 Positioning the Instrument The instrument is designed for use under laboratory conditions. It can be used in standalone operation on a bench top or can be installed in a rack. For standalone operation, place the instrument on a horizontal bench with even, flat surface. The instrument can be used in horizontal position, or with the support feet on the bottom extended. The instrument can be installed in a 19" rack mount using a rack mount kit.
R&S®RTC1000 Preparing for Use Starting the Instrument Risk of instrument damage due to overheating An insufficient airflow can cause the R&S RTC1000 to overheat, which can impair the measurement results, disturb the operation, and even cause damage. ● Ensure that all fan openings are unobstructed and that the airflow perforations are unimpeded. The minimum distance to a wall is 10 cm. ● When placing several instruments side by side, keep a minimum distance of 20 cm between the instruments.
R&S®RTC1000 Preparing for Use Starting the Instrument 2. Connect the power cable to the socket outlet. 3. Switch the main power switch at the rear of the instrument to position I. The ON/OFF key lights up when the instrument is in standby mode. The key is located next to the upper right corner of the screen. You can leave the main power switch on to preserve your last instrument settings. To disconnect from power supply, power off the instrument. 3.3.
R&S®RTC1000 Preparing for Use Starting the Instrument 3.3.3 Powering Off Powering off is required only if the instrument must be disconnected from all power supplies. 1. If the instrument is running, press the ON/OFF key on the front panel to shut down the instrument. 2. Switch the main power switch at the rear of the instrument to position 0. 3. Disconnect the AC power cable from the AC power supply.
R&S®RTC1000 Preparing for Use Replacing the Fuse 3.4 Replacing the Fuse The instrument is protected by a fuse. You can find it on the rear panel between the main power switch and AC power supply. Type of fuse: Size 5x20 mm, 250V~, T2.5H (slow-blow), IEC60127-2/5 Risk of electric shock The fuse is part of the main power supply. Therefore, handling the fuse while power is on can lead to electric shock.

R&S®RTC1000 Instrument Tour Front Panel 4.1.1 Input Connectors BNC inputs (6, 7) The R&S RTC1000 has two channel inputs (6) to connect the input signals. The external trigger input (7) is used to control the measurement by an external signal. The trigger level can be set from -5 V to 5 V. The input impedance of all BNC inputs is 1 MΩ. Risk of electrical shock - maximum input voltages The maximum input voltage on channel inputs must not exceed 200 V (peak) and 150 V (RMS).
R&S®RTC1000 Instrument Tour Front Panel Risk of injury and instrument damage The instrument is not rated for any measurement category. When measuring in circuits with transient overvoltages of category II, III or IV circuits, make sure that no such overvoltages reach the R&S RTC1000 input. Therefore, use only probes that comply with DIN EN 61010-031.
