Right Side of the Instrument

The ventilation slots are on the right side of the instrument. They are positioned in such a way that

they will not be covered if the instrument is mounted in a 19" rack by means of the clamping

angles. Please make sure that the ventilation slots are not covered and sufficient ventilation is

guaranteed in case it is mounted in the rack in order to avoid overheating.
