Risk of instrument damage
Before switching on the instrument, make sure that the following conditions are met:
●
Instrument casing is closed and all fasteners are tightened.
●
All fan openings are unobstructed and the airflow perforations are unimpeded. The
minimum distance from the wall is 10 cm.
●
The instrument is dry and shows no sign of condensation.
●
The instrument is operated in the horizontal position on an even surface.
●
The ambient temperature does not exceed the range specified in the data sheet.
●
Signal levels at the input connectors are all within the specified ranges.
●
Signal outputs are correctly connected and are not overloaded.
Failure to meet these conditions may cause damage to the instrument or other devices
in the test setup.
1.3.1 Unpacking and Checking the Analyzer
To remove the instrument from its packaging and check the equipment for completeness
proceed as follows:
1. Pull off the polyethylene protection pads from the instrument's rear feet and then
carefully remove the pads from the instrument handles at the front.
2. Pull off the corrugated cardboard cover that protects the rear of the instrument.
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.
Retain the original packing material. If the instrument needs to be transported or shipped
at a later date, you can use the material to prevent control elements and connectors from
being damaged.
