3. Carefully unthread the corrugated cardboard cover at the front that protects the
instrument handles and remove it.
4. Check the equipment for completeness using the delivery note and the accessory
lists for the various items.
5. Check the instrument for any damage. If there is damage, immediately contact the
carrier who delivered the instrument. Make sure not to discard the box and packing
material.
Packing material
Retain the original packing material. If the instrument needs to be transported or shipped
at a later date, you can use the material to protect the control elements and connectors.
2.3.2 Placing or Mounting the Instrument
The R&S SMC is designed for use under laboratory conditions, either on a bench top or
in a rack using a rack adapter kit (order number see data sheet).
Bench Top Operation
If the R&S SMC is operated on a bench top, the surface should be flat. The instrument
can be used in horizontal position, standing on its feet, or with the support feet on the
bottom extended.
Risk of injury at the operating site
The feet may fold in if they are not folded out completely or if the instrument is shifted.
This may cause damage or injury.
●
Fold the feet completely in or completely out to ensure stability of the instrument.
Never shift the instrument when the feet are folded out.
●
When the feet are folded out, do not work under the instrument or place anything
underneath.
●
The feet can break if they are overloaded. The overall load on the folded-out feet
must not exceed 500 N.
