TECPak
User’s Manual
Ventilation
The
TECPak
has vent holes on the front and rear and sides of the unit. You must
not block these vent holes, or overheating may occur, causing damage to the
unit.
Rack Mounting
A rack mount kit (
p/n 1402C-RM
) for standard 19” racks is available for the
586
TECPak
, and supports the rack mount of up to three units in a 2U high opening.
The units primarily ventilate from the front and rear, with some ventilation on he
sides, so some air gap is required to the sides of the unit to ensure proper air
flow. No air gapping is required above or below the units, and they can be rack
mounted immediately above other equipment (no rack spacers required).
Warm-up and Environmental Considerations
In order to achieve the highest level of accuracy, the
TECPak
should be
powered on for at least one hour prior to taking measurements. In addition,
ensure that the unit is not operating outside the ambient temperature range or
humidity conditions.
CAUTION
Do not operate the unit above +40°C ambient, and
ensure the instrument is properly ventilated, or the unit
may overheat and possible damage to the instrument
may occur.
