INSTALLATION
3.1
Mounting
For rack mounting, the feet should be removed such that the instrument can be fitted beside any
other standard 3U half-rack instrument in a 19” rack. A suitable 3U 19” rack kit is available from the
manufacturer or their overseas agents - a RM460 19-inch rack kit
accommodates two instruments.
3.2
Ventilation
The instrument uses a fan, which has variable speed control, fitted to the rear panel. Take care not to
restrict the rear air exit or the inlet vents at the front (sides and underneath). In rack-mounted
situations, allow adequate space around the instrument and/or use a fan tray for forced cooling.
3.3
Electrical Requirements
3.3.1
Mains operating voltage
This instrument has a universal input range and will operate from a nominal 115V to 230V mains
supply without adjustment. Check that the local supply meets the AC input requirement given in the
Specification.
3.3.2
Mains lead
Connect the instrument to the AC supply using the mains lead provided.
Should a mains plug be required for a different mains outlet socket, a suitably rated and approved
mains lead set should be used. Ensure this is fitted with the required wall plug and an IEC60320 C13
connector for the instrument end.
To determine the minimum current rating of the lead-set for the intended AC supply, refer to the
power rating information on the equipment or in the Specification.
