SECTION II, INSTALLATION AND SHIPMENT
GENERAL
This section contains information and instructions necessary to install and interface the
Model 1805B RF Control Unit. Included in this section are initial inspection; power
requirements; preparation for use; and shipping instructions.
INITIAL INSPECTION
The instrument was carefully inspected both mechanically and electrically before shipment. It
should be free of mars or scratches and in perfect electrical order upon receipt. After
unpacking the instrument, do not discard the shipping and packing material until the
instrument has been visually inspected and it is determined that reshipment is not necessary.
Perform initial inspection in accordance with the following paragraphs.
Inspection
Perform the following procedures before removing any item from the shipping container:
a. Visually inspect the shipping container for any discoloration; stains; charring; or any
other signs of exposure to heat, moisture, or liquid chemicals.
b. Check for any physical damage to the shipping container such as dents, large snags or
rips, crushed sections or areas, and/or similar signs of excessive shock caused by careless
handling.
c. Carefully remove the instrument and all other items from the shipping container.
d. Inventory all items against the packing list to ensure all items have been received.
e. Inspect the instrument for any dents, cracks, deep scratches, damaged or loose switches
and/or knobs, and any other signs of careless handling.
Damage
If it has been determined that shipping damage has occurred, immediately contact the
delivering carrier to perform an inspection and prepare a concealed damage report. Do not
destroy any shipping or packing material until it has been examined by an agent of the carrier.
Also notify TEGAM to report the nature and extent of damage to the instrument. When
contacting TEGAM, please provide model and serial number of instrument received, so that
the necessary actions can be taken. DO NOT return the instrument until a claim for the
damages has been established. If there is mechanical damage (not from shipping), the contents
are incomplete, and/or the instrument does not function properly, refer to Section I and notify
TEGAM.
POWER REQUIREMENTS
TEGAM supplies a detachable power cable (P/N 068-21) to connect a 100, 120,220, or 240
Vac (+5%/-10%) power source with a frequency between 48 to 66 Hz to the Model 1805 B. To
minimize shock hazard, the instrument chassis must be connected to an electrical ground.
Using the supplied three-conductor power cable ensures that the instrument can be firmly
connected to the ac power source and electrical ground (safety ground) at a grounded power
outlet. Refer to Initial Setup (below) before applying any power to the instrument.
ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS
The Model 1805B operates best within its specifications at an ambient temperature of +10° to
+40°C. Operating beyond these limits can affect the accuracy of the instrument and damage
internal circuitry.
RECOMMENDED OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
Normal Calibration Laboratory best practice dictates that the environment should be closely
controlled. This will minimize errors introduced by temperature and humidity changes, A
nominal temperature of+23°C (+73.4°F) provides a good working condition. A tolerance of
2-1
