Risk of injury when stacking instruments
A stack of instruments can tilt over and cause injury if not stacked correctly.
Furthermore, the instruments at the bottom of the stack can be damaged
due to the load imposed by the instruments on top.
Observe the following instructions when stacking instruments:
●
Never stack more than three instruments. If you need to stack more
than three instruments, install them in a rack.
●
The overall load imposed on the lowest instrument must not exceed
500
N.
●
It is best if all instruments have the same dimensions (width and length).
If you need to stack smaller instruments on the top, the overall load
imposed on the lowest instrument must not exceed 250
N.
●
If the instruments have foldable feet, fold them in completely.
Mounting in a rack
The R&S
SMW can be installed in a rack using a rack adapter kit (Order No. see
data sheet). The installation instructions are part of the adapter kit.
Risk of instrument damage due to insufficient airflow in a rack
If you mount several instruments in a rack, you need an efficient ventilation
concept to ensure that the instruments do not overheat. Insufficient airflow
for a longer period can disturb the operation and even cause damage.
