INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Introduction
This section defines unpacking the 1260-00C, VXIbus
characteristics, GPIB characteristics, local command set overview,
Code Instruments and the Front Panel features.
Unpacking and
Inspection
Prior to unpacking the switching module, check the exterior of the
shipping carton for any signs of damage. All irregularities should
be noted on the shipping bill. Remove the instrument from the
carton, preserving the factory packaging as much as possible.
Inspect the switching module for any defect or damage.
Immediately notify the carrier if any damage is apparent. Before
use, have qualified personnel perform a safety check.
The 1260-00C module is shipped packaged in an anti-static plastic
bag to prevent electrostatic damage to the module. Several
components on the module can be damaged by electrostatic
discharge. To avoid such damage while handling the module,
touch the plastic bag to a metal part of your VXIbus mainframe
chassis before removing the module from the bag.
Use the original packaging when returning the switching module to
Racal-Dana for calibration or servicing. The shipping carton and
packaging will provide the necessary support for safe reshipment.
If the original packaging is unavailable, wraping the switching
module in plastic sheeting and use plastic spray foam to surround
and protect the instrument. Reship in the original or a new
shipping carton.
