Instructions
2.1.1
Power
To power the BenchMike Pro, use the supplied, detachable mains supply cord. Using an under-rated or not-
certified power cord is a safety hazard. Only power cords with the appropriate ratings for the country of use and
with a rating of 5 amps or greater should be used. When the BenchMike Pro is powered off, it is in standby mode.
To completely turn off the BenchMike Pro, disconnect the power cord from the back of the unit.
2.1.2
Lifting
The BenchMike Pro should be lifted by a mechanical lift, using either a forklift or straps under each end of the
unit. See the outline drawings later in this section.
2.1.3
Location
The BenchMike Pro can be placed on a sturdy horizontal surface with no attachments. The BenchMike Pro re-
ceives AC power through the supplied power cord connected to the rear panel inlet, and it is turned on or off by
the switch on the rear of the unit. No special grounding connections are required except through the standard
power cord provided. Never bypass the safety ground on a power cord. If this equipment is not installed and used
according to the installation procedures, the safety of this unit could be compromised.
2.1.4
Ventilation Requirements
The BenchMike Pro has no venting or cooling fan. There are no special cooling requirements other than maintain-
ing the unit within the correct operating temperature range.
2.1.5
Equipment Maintenance
The touchscreen can be cleaned with a mild window cleaner. The laser aperture windows can be cleaned with a
mild window cleaner or isopropyl alcohol and cotton swabs. It is recommended that an oscilloscope be connected
to the Scan Out jack on the end of the BenchMike Pro when cleaning the aperture windows. The rest of the unit
can be cleaned with a mild spray cleaner.
