Warning
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury,
make sure that the Product is grounded before use.
You may place the calibrator on a bench top or mount it in a standard-width, 24-inch
(61-cm) deep equipment rack. For bench-top use, the calibrator is equipped with non-
slipping, non-marring feet. To mount the calibrator in an equipment rack, use the 5522A
Rack Mount Kit, Model Y5537. Instructions for rack mounting the calibrator are packed
with the rack mount kit.
Cooling Considerations

Caution
To prevent damage to the Product, make sure the space around
the product meets minimum requirements.
Baffles direct cooling air from the fan throughout the chassis to internally dissipate heat
during operation. The accuracy and dependability of all internal parts of the calibrator are
enhanced by maintaining the coolest possible internal temperature. You can lengthen the
life of the calibrator and enhance its performance by observing the following rules:
•
The area around the air filter must be at least 3 inches from nearby walls or rack
enclosures.
•
The exhaust perforations on the sides of the calibrator must be clear of obstructions.
•
The air entering the instrument must be at room temperature: make sure the exhaust
air from another instrument is not directed into the fan inlet.
•
Clean the air filter every 30 days or more frequently if the calibrator is operated in a
dusty environment. (See Chapter 7, “Maintenance” for instructions on cleaning the
air filter.)
