Immunity class 2 (B) immunity to fast transients and burst in line with IEC61000-4-4: < 2 kV (power supply) and < 1 kV (signal inputs);
class 3 (C) immunity to surges in line with IEC61000-4-5:
  • symmetrical < 1 kV (e.g. L1-L2)
  • unsymmetrical < 2 kV (e.g. L1-N)
  If the transmitter is operated in another class (> 2 or 3), protective measures must be taken. Rohde & Schwarz offers options for overvoltage and lightning protection.
Dimensions
(W x H x D)
483 mm (19’’) x 88 mm x 467 mm (19.02 in x 3.46 in x 18.39 in) 483 mm (19’’) x 132 mm x 474 mm (19.02 in x 5.2 in x 18.66 in) 483 mm (19’’) x 176 mm x 590 mm (19.02 in x 6.93 in x 23.23 in)

Remark: To comply with the applicable standards and limit values for the suppression of out-of-band emissions (and in the case of digital standards, also for maintaining the required shoulder distance), the transposer may only be operated with suitable filters at the RF output.
