Installation
Mains Operating Voltage
This instrument has a universal input range and will operate from a nominal 115V or 230V mains
supply without adjustment. Check that the local supply meets the AC input requirement given in the
Specification.
Mains Lead
Connect the instrument to the AC supply using the mains lead provided. Should a mains plug be
required for a different mains outlet socket, a suitably rated and approved mains lead set should be
used which is fitted with the required wall plug and an IEC60320 C13 connector for the instrument
end. To determine the minimum current rating of the lead-set for the intended AC supply, refer to
the power rating information on the equipment or in the Specification.
WARNING! THIS INSTRUMENT MUST BE EARTHED
.
Any interruption of the mains earth conductor inside or outside the instrument will make the
instrument dangerous. Intentional interruption is prohibited.
Mounting
This instrument is suitable both for bench use and rack mounting. It is delivered with soft protective
front and rear bezels which have integral moulded feet; this is the most suitable configuration for
bench use.
For rack mounting the protective bezels and handle/stand can be removed such that the instrument
can be fitted beside any other standard 2U half-rack instrument in a 19” rack. A suitable 2U 19”
rack kit is available from the Manufacturers or their overseas agents; full details of how to remove
the handle and bezels are included with the kit.
Ventilation
The generator uses a small fan fitted to the rear panel. Take care not to restrict the rear air exit or
the inlet vents at the front (sides and underneath). In rack-mounted situations allow adequate
space around the instrument and/or use a fan tray for forced cooling.
Handle/stand
The instrument is fitted with a 4-position handle/stand. Pull out both sides of the handle at the case
pivot points, to free the position locking pegs, and rotate the handle from the stowed position to the
required stand or handle position. Release the sides of the handle to lock it in the new position.
