1 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.
Safety information is part of the product documentation. It warns you about the
potential dangers and gives instructions how to prevent personal injury or dam-
age caused by dangerous situations. Safety information is provided as follows:
●The "Basic Safety Instructions" in different languages are delivered as a prin-
ted brochure with the instrument.
●Throughout the documentation, safety instructions are provided when you
need to take care during setup or operation.
Risk of injury
The instrument must be used in an appropriate manner to prevent electric
shock, personal injury, fire, or damage:
●Do not open the instrument casing.
●Do not use the instrument if the instrument casing, the display or any
accessory are damaged. If you detect or suspect any damage, have the
instrument or accessory inspected by qualified service personnel.
●Do not operate the instrument in wet, damp or explosive atmospheres.
Make sure that the instrument, cables and connectors are completely
dry before connecting the inputs.
●Do not exceed the voltage limits given in Chapter 4.1.1, "Input Connec-
tors", on page 16.

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.
●Position the instrument as described in the following sections.
Make sure that all fan openings are unobstructed and the airflow perfo-
rations are unimpeded. The minimum distance from the wall is 10 cm.
●Signal levels at the input connectors are all within the specified ranges.
●Signal outputs are correctly connected and are not overloaded.
Instrument damage caused by electrostatic discharge
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage the electronic components of the
instrument and the device under test (DUT). Electrostatic discharge is most
likely to occur when you connect or disconnect a DUT or test fixture to the
instrument's test ports. To prevent electrostatic discharge, use a wrist strap
and cord and connect yourself to the ground, or use a conductive floor mat
and heel strap combination.
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) may affect the measurement results.
To suppress generated electromagnetic interference (EMI):
●Use suitable shielded cables of high quality. For example, use double-
shielded RF and LAN cables.
●Always terminate open cable ends.
●Note the EMC classification in the data sheet.

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. The
order number of the rack mount kit is given in the data sheet. The installation
instructions are part of the rack mount kit.
Risk of injury if feet are folded out
The feet can fold in if they are not folded out completely or if the instrument
is shifted. This can cause damage or injury.
●Fold the feet completely in or out to ensure stability of the instrument.
Never shift the instrument when the feet are folded out.
●When the feet are folded out, do not work under the instrument or place
anything underneath.
●The feet can break if they are overloaded. The overall load on the fol-
ded-out feet must not exceed 200 N.
