Locating the instrument in the proper environment
Locate the Model 2910 such that it will operate within the following ambient temperature and humidity
limits. (Refer to the instrument specifications for the complete set of environmental limits.)
•
Temperature: +15° to +40°C (+23°C is optimal)
•
Relative humidity: 5% to 80%, non-condensing
NOTE:
Accuracy specifications are based on operation at 23° ±5°C and between 5%
and 60% relative humidity. See the product specifications for derating factors
outside these ranges. Air-conditioned environments are highly
recommended.
CAUTION:
To avoid over-heating, operate the unit only in an area with proper
ventilation. Allow at least eight inches of clearance at the back of
the instrument to assure sufficient airflow, and adhere to the
following:
•
Operate the unit in a clean, dust-free environment.
•
Keep the rear exhaust vent free of any obstructions. Even
partial blockage may impair proper cooling. Also keep at least
one vent at the front of the instrument free of obstruction.
•
Allow at least 1U of space at the top and bottom of the
instrument.
•
Make sure there is adequate airflow around at least one side of
the instrument. Adequate airflow ensures that air temperatures
around the instrument remain within specified limits under all
operating conditions.
•
To ensure proper cooling in rack environments with only
convection cooling, position the hottest equipment at the top of
the rack. Place precision equipment, such as the Model 2910, as
low as possible in the rack, where temperatures are the coolest.
Add spacer panels below the unit to help ensure adequate
airflow.
Installing the instrument in a rack
If you have Model 2910-RMK Rack-mount Kit with flanges, refer to the document that accompanied
the kit for installation instructions. Perform the rack mounting kit installation now.
