INSTALLATION
Unpacking
• The unit weighs less than 4 kg. No special handling is required.
• Please keep the original packaging for transport for service or repair as it has been specifically designed to
protect the unit from damage during transit.
• Inspect the instrument and its power supply for any signs of damage caused during transit. If any damage
is discovered, do not use the instrument and report the problem to your supplier.
Positioning
• Ensure your proposed installation site conforms to the environmental conditions for safe operation:
• Indoor use
• 5°C to 40°C
• Maximum relative humidity 90% up to 31°C decreasing linearly to 50% at 40°C.
• Extremes of temperature may require recalibration of the unit for optimal performance.
• The instrument must be placed on a stable, level bench or table capable of supporting its weight allowing
sufficient space around the instrument for air to circulate freely.
• The instrument should be positioned so that the power supply cable may be readily removed in the event
of a hazard or malfunction.
• Locate the instrument in an atmosphere free from dust and corrosive fumes. Use the dust cover to further
protect the instrument when not in use.
Installing
• If the instrument has been stored in a cold environment, it should be allowed to come to room temperature
before turning it on to avoid compromising the internal calibration procedure.
• The equipment is operated using an 18 VDC power supply adapter unit. Always use the power supply
adapter and mains cords supplied with the instrument.
• Mains power requirements are as follows:
• 100 to 240 VAC~
• 50 or 60 Hz
• The UK style mains cord plug has a user replaceable
3A fuse. Replace only with the same rating
and type 3A BS1362.
• The unit maximum power rating is 40 VA.
• Connect the instrument to the mains power using
the main power cord and the 18 VDC power
supply adapter unit.
• Switch on the instrument after it has been plugged
in. The instrument will perform a series of self-
diagnostic checks.
