2.3.2.1
Separate installation
The R&S UPV can be set up on a level surface in horizontal position and with unfolded
instrument feet.
Risk of injury with unfolded instrument feet
The instrument feet can suddenly fold back if the instrument is being moved or the feet
are not completely folded out. This can lead to personal injuries or damage to the
instrument.
Instrument stability, and thus safe operation, is only ensured when the instrument's feet
are completely folded out. Do not move the instrument and avoid performing work
under it when the feet are folded out. Secure the instruments from slipping (e.g. by
locking the instrument feet to the top of the front-panel frame).
If excessive loads are applied, the feet might break. The uniformly applied load to the
feet when folded out must not exceed 500
N (including the weight of the instrument
itself along with any equipment set on top of it).
2.3.2.2
Rack installation
A rack adapter (refer to data sheet for Order No.) is required for installation in a 19"
rack. The mounting instructions are supplied with the adapter.
Possible damage to the instrument from overheating
Restricted airflow at the side wall openings can cause the instrument to overheat.
To ensure sufficient air supply, all fan openings must be clear and the airflow at the
openings of the side walls must not be impeded. The distance to the wall must be at
least 10 cm.
