Installation
Mains Operating Voltage
The operating voltage of the instrument is shown on the rear panel. Should it be necessary to
change the operating voltage from 230V to 115V or vice-versa, proceed as follows:
1.
Disconnect the instrument from all voltage sources, including the mains and all inputs.
2.
Remove the screws which hold the case upper to the chassis and lift off.
3.
Unplug all cable connectors from the power supply PCB (don’t pull on the wires).
4.
Remove the five nuts which hold the power supply PCB in place, and lift it off the studs.
5.
Fit the soldered links (alongside the transformers) for the required operating voltage:-
For 230V fit only LK2 and LK5
For 115V fit only LK1, LK3, LK4 and LK6.
These links may be either tinned copper wire or zero-ohm resistors.
6.
Refit the power supply PCB, ensuring that no wires are trapped. Check that all cables are
correctly connected and that all five nuts are sufficiently tightened.
7.
Refit the case upper.
8.
To comply with safety standard requirements the operating voltage marked on the rear
panel must be changed to clearly show the new voltage setting.
Mains Lead
Connect the instrument to the AC supply using the mains lead provided. Should a mains plug be
required for a different type of mains outlet socket, use a suitably rated and approved 3-core
mains lead set which is fitted with the required wall plug and an IEC60320 C13 connector for the
instrument end. This instrument requires a lead rated at 6A for all mains supply voltages.
WARNING! THIS INSTRUMENT MUST BE EARTHED
Any interruption of the mains earth conductor inside or outside the instrument will make the
instrument dangerous. Intentional interruption is prohibited.
Mounting
This instrument is suitable both for bench use and rack mounting. It is delivered with feet for
bench mounting. The front feet include a tilt mechanism for optimal panel angle.
A rack kit for mounting one or two of these half-width 3U high units is available from the
Manufacturers or their overseas agents; a blanking piece is also available for unused positions in
the rack.
Ventilation
The unit is cooled by a variable speed fan which vents at the rear. Take care not to restrict the air
inlets at the top, side and bottom panels or the exit at the rear. In rack-mounted situations allow
adequate space around the instrument and/or use a fan tray for forced cooling.
If ducting is applied to the air outlet, additional extraction is required.
Fuses
Most fuses in this instrument are not user replaceable. The exception is an internal fuse on the
power supply PCB, which is intended to protect the unit from the accidental connection of 230V
mains supply to a unit configured for 115V operation. Before replacing this fuse, ensure that the
unit is configured correctly, as described above.
The replacement fuse must be a 20x5mm 500mA (T) 250Vac rated HBC (ceramic tube) type.
