Installation
Introduction
This chapter explains how to install the HP 8511A test set. The topics
covered include initial inspection, environmental considerations, positioning
and connecting the test set for use, and packaging the instrument. Refer to
the “Installation” chapter of the HP 8510 On-Site Service manual for more
complete system connection and turn-on instructions.
Initial Inspection
Inspect the shipping container (including cushioning material) for damage.
If it is damaged, keep it until you have checked the contents for
completeness. The contents are listed in Table 3-1.
In addition, check the test set mechanically and electrically. If the test set and
shipping container are undamaged, passing the Operator’s Check (in
Chapter 4, “Operation”) should suffice for incoming inspection. If the test
set does not pass the Operator’s Check, refer to the troubleshooting
procedures in the HP 8510 On-Site Service Manual or call your local HP
Customer Engineer.
If the shipping container is damaged or defective, keep the shipping
materials and notify both the carrier and the nearest Hewlett-Packard office.
The HP office will arrange for repair or replacement of the test set without
waiting for settlement of the claim. If the components received with the test
set are incomplete, notify your nearest HP office and the deficient parts will
be sent to you.
