RACKMOUNT/BENCHTOP VERSIONS

OPTIONS 30, 31, AND 32

OF 492/492P

Introduction

The rackmount version of the 492/492P Spectrum Ana

lyzer (Option 30) is designed to mount in a standard 19-inch
rack. The benchtop version (Option 32) is the same as the

rackmount except it has side panels with handles and it also
has feet installed on the bottom. Both have a larger fan to
provide additional cooling. Option 31 provides access to all
front-panel connections via the cabinet rear panel.

E lectrical C h a ra c te ristic s

Electrical characteristics for the 492/492P are applicable

for the rackmount/benchtop version of the 492/492P except
residual (FM’ing)  response,  and  frequency  response,  when
Option  31  is  included.  Rackmount versions,  subject  to  ex
ternally induced vibrations from rack cooling fans or the sur
rounding  equipment,  may  show degradation  of the  FM'ing

characteristic.  Because of different rack configurations,  this
degradation  cannot  be  specified.  In  a  typical  fan-cooled
rack,  degradation increases by a factor of two.

This

section

describes

characteristics

of

the

rackmount/benchtop versions, mounting procedure, and
servicing

procedures

for

the

rackmount/benchtop

instruments.

Frequency response and display flatness performance,

for Option 31 installation, typically degrades up to 2 dB in
the negative direction, above 3.0 GHz.

ENVIRONMENTAL CHARACTERISTICS

Rackmount versions meet MIL T-28800B, type III, class 5, style F specifications. Benchtop version meets MIL T-

28800B, type III, class 5, style E specifications. Some of the details are as follows:

NOTE

For vibration, shock, and bench handling tests, the semi-rigid cables between the front-panel connectors and the front-

grill connectors (for Option 31) must be removed. The bail for tilting the benchtop version (Option 32) must be folded.
