How to remove the handle
Note
• When rack-mounting the instrument, allow at least 5 cm of space between the top panel and the rack to
prevent internal heating.
• Make sure to provide adequate support from the bottom of the instrument. Do not block the vent holes in
the process.
• Store the removed parts in a safe place.
• When rack-mounting the instrument, remove the feet from the rear of the instrument if they are coming
into contact with the rack and are thus preventing you from rack-mounting the instrument. After you have
rack-mounted the instrument, re-attach the feet to the rear of the instrument.
• Dials and output terminals protrude further out than the front panel position. Make sure you do not hit
them against the rack when mounting the instrument.
Do Not Install the Instrument in the Following Kinds of Places
• In direct sunlight or near heat sources
• In an environment with excessive amounts of soot, steam, dust, or corrosive gas
• Near strong magnetic field sources
• Near high-voltage equipment or power lines
• In an environment subject to large levels of mechanical vibration
• On an unstable surface
• Outdoors or in locations subject to rain or water
• Where the air from an air conditioning system blows directly on the instrument or where the
instrument will be affected by heat sources
