Placing or Mounting the Instrument
The R&S
OSP is designed for use either on a bench top or in a standard 19"
rack.
Bench-top positioning
If the R&S
OSP is operated on a bench top, the surface must be flat.
Risk of injury when stacking instruments
A stack of instruments can tilt over and cause injury if not stacked correctly.
Furthermore, the instruments at the bottom of the stack can be damaged
due to the load imposed by the instruments on top.
Observe the following instructions when stacking instruments:
●
Never stack more than three instruments. If you need to stack more
than three instruments, install them in a rack.
●
The overall load imposed on the lowest instrument must not exceed
500
N.
●
It is best if all instruments have the same dimensions (width and length).
If you need to stack smaller instruments on the top, the overall load
imposed on the lowest instrument must not exceed 250
N.
●
If the instruments have foldable feet, fold them in completely.
You can use the instrument in horizontal position, standing on its feet, or with the
support feet folded out from underneath.
