Operating
Environment
Model 5601 is intended for operation within a PXI chassis as a
plug-in module. Ensure that the PXI chassis being used to
host the 5601 fully conforms to the latest PXI specifications.
Model 5601 is intended for indoor use and should be operated
in a clean, dry environment with an ambient temperature within
the range of 0 °C to 40 °C.
WARNING
The 5601 must not be operated in explosive,
dusty, or wet atmospheres. Avoid installation
of the module close to strong magnetic fields.
The Model 5601 design has been verified to conform to the
EN61010-1 safety standard in accordance with the following
limits: Installation (Overvoltage) Category I (Measuring
Terminals) Pollution Degree 2.
Installation (Overvoltage) Category I refers to the signal level,
which applies to equipment measuring terminals that are
connected to source circuits in which measures are taken to
limit transient voltages to an appropriately low level.
Pollution Degree 2 refers to an operating environment where
only dry, non-conductive pollution normally occurs.
Occasionally, a temporary conductivity caused by
condensation must be expected.
Power
Requirements
Model 5601 operates within a PXI chassis, which provides DC
power to the instrument. Model 5601 requires a variety of DC
voltages as outlined in the Specifications section (Appendix
A). Ensure that the PXI chassis is capable of delivering the
required voltages and current.
CAUTION
Disconnect power to the PXI Chassis before
installing or removing Model 5601.
