TLA7012 Portable Logic Analyzer Rackmount Kit Instructions

Mount the Instrument to the Shelf
The slide-out shelf permits the rack-adapted instrument to be extended out of the
rack for rear-panel and connector maintenance without removing the instrument
from the rack.
The rackmount kit includes a mechanical safety stop that prevents the instrument
from accidentally being pulled out while probes are attached.
CAUTION.
To prevent damaging the probes, you must remove any probes from the
instrument before extending the instrument. Also, you may want to remove any
modules from the instrument to make it lighter. Always reinstall the mechanical
safety stop after you push the instrument back into the rack.
WARNING.
To prevent the rackmounted instrument from tipping forward onto the
operator, install the instrument so that the operator will be able to access all of
its rear devices without pushing down on the instrument.
Verify that the rack does not become unstable with the instrument fully extended.
Do not leave the instrument extended when finished accessing the rear panel.
WARNING.
To prevent the instrument from tipping or dropping onto the install-
ers, two or more people should install this instrument into the rack cabinet.
After completing the installation procedure, the installers should verify that the
instrument and rack cabinet will not tip forward while the instrument is in the
extended position.
