In these safety instructions, the term "product" covers instruments (oscilloscopes),
probes and their accessories.
Choosing the operating site
Only use the product indoors. The product casing is not waterproof. Water that enters
can electrically connect the casing with live parts, which can lead to electric shock,
serious personal injury or death if you touch the casing. If Rohde & Schwarz provides
accessories designed for outdoor use of your product, e.g. a protective cover, you can
use the product outdoors.
Unless otherwise specified in the data sheet, you can operate the product up to an alti-
tude of 2000 m above sea level.
The product is suitable for pollution degree 2 environments where nonconductive con-
tamination can occur. For more information on environmental conditions such as ambi-
ent temperature and humidity, see the data sheet.
Performing measurements
Take the following measures for your safety:
●To ascertain voltage-free state, use an appropriate voltage tester. Any measure-
ment setup including an oscilloscope is not suitable for this purpose.
●The maximum input voltage on channel inputs and the external trigger input must
not exceed the value specified in the data sheet.
●Observe all voltage and current ratings of the instrument, the probes, and the
accessories. Exceeding the allowed voltages can lead to an electric shock.
Limits and ratings are marked on the products and listed in the data sheets.
Consider that the rated voltage depends on the frequency. The voltage limitation
curves or values are provided in the data sheet.
●Never cause any short circuits when measuring sources with high output currents.
●Use only probes and accessories that comply with the measurement category
(CAT) of your measurement task. If the product is rated for any measurement cate-
gory, the permitted category is indicated on the product and in the data sheet. If
you use other than Rohde & Schwarz accessories, make sure that they are suita-
ble for the instrument and the measurement task.
●Set the correct attenuation factor on the instrument according to the probe being
used. Otherwise, the measurement results do not reflect the actual voltage level,
and you might misjudge the actual risk.
●When working with high voltages and current probes, observe the additional oper-
ating conditions specified in these safety instructions.
●Prevent the probe from receiving mechanical shock. Avoid putting excessive strain
on the probe cable or exposing it to sharp bends. Touching a broken cable during
measurements can cause injuries.
●Set up all probe connections to the instrument before applying power.

Working with hazardous voltages
Voltages higher than 30 V RMS, or 42 V peak, or 60 V DC are regarded as hazardous
contact voltages. Direct contact with them can cause serious injuries.
Make sure that only electrically skilled persons use the products for measurements on
hazardous contact voltages. These working conditions require special education and
experience to perceive risks and to avoid hazards which electricity can create.
Make sure that the measurement instrument is properly connected to protective earth.
When working with hazardous contact voltages, use protective measures to preclude
direct contact with the measurement setup:
●Do not touch exposed connections and components when power is applied.
●Switch off the test circuit while connecting and disconnecting probe leads.
●Use only insulated voltage probes, test leads and adapters.
●Make sure that the input leads fulfill the safety requirements for your measurement.
The delivered input leads might have a jacket wear indicator that indicates a worn
jacket by different jacket color. In this case, do not use the input lead. Replace it
with a new one.
●When connecting to the DUT, keep your fingers behind finger guard. Remove jew-
elry, watches, and other metallic objects. Only use 4 mm safety banana plugs.

The R&S RT‑ZHD high-voltage differential probe is designed to safely measure high
voltage floating circuits using a grounded oscilloscope. The probe extends the mea-
surement capability of oscilloscopes in measuring electronic power converters, inver-
ters, motor speed controls, switch mode power supplies and many other applications.
The probe is equipped with the Rohde & Schwarz probe interface. It can be connected
to any Rohde & Schwarz instrument that is compatible with this interface. When con-
nected to the front panel, the probe is controlled by the oscilloscope's software. Sup-
ported oscilloscopes are listed in the data sheet.

The probe is designed to measure electrical devices or installations of categories 0 (I),
II, or III if the effective value of the measured voltage against earth ground does not
exceed the maximum working voltage. The maximum working voltage is derated for
higher frequencies. Voltage derating over frequency is specified in the data sheet.
The rating ensures that the probe is protected against short transient overvoltages as
long as the maximum working voltage limit is observed.
Do not use the probe to measure effective working voltages higher than the specified
voltage between each input lead and earth ground even if the effective differential volt-
age is lower than the specified voltage.
2.1.2 Key features
Micro button
The micro button remotely controls important functions of the Rohde & Schwarz oscil-
loscope. The function is assigned at the oscilloscope.
For details, see Chapter 4.1, "Micro button", on page 25.
R&S ProbeMeter
The R&S ProbeMeter measures the DC voltage of the input signal directly at the probe
tip. It provides a continuous high-precision DC voltage measurement that is independ-
ent of the settings of the oscilloscope and runs in parallel to the time domain measure-
ment. If activated on the base unit, the measured value is displayed on the screen of
the Rohde & Schwarz oscilloscope.
The R&S ProbeMeter simultaneously measures both differential and common mode
DC voltages.
For details, see Chapter 4.2, "R&S ProbeMeter", on page 25.
Data memory
The probe has an integrated data memory, containing the individual probe correction
parameters (e.g. gain, delay, offset). These parameters are read out and processed by
the Rohde & Schwarz oscilloscope. As a result, the probe offers a high degree of accu-
racy, and additional calibration procedures are not required.
Overrange indication
There are two indications for overrange:
●Input overrange indicates an overrange of an input signal against earth, i.e. a viola-
tion of the operating voltage window.
●Output overrange lights up if the differential voltage is too high even if the voltage
to earth is within the specification.
Each overrange condition is indicated by an individual red LED (3 LEDs in total) and a
common buzzer signal. The buzzer can be switched off. For details, see "Overrange
