Bench top operation
If the R&S
SGS is operated on a bench top, the surface should be flat. The instru-
ment can be used in horizontal position, standing on its feet.
Risk of injury and instrument damage if stacking instruments
A stack of instruments may tilt over and cause injury. Furthermore, the
instruments at the bottom of the stack may 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 with the same dimensions
(width and length). 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.
●
All instruments should 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.
Rack mounting
The R&S
SGS can be installed in a rack using a rack adapter kit (Order No. see
data sheet). The installation instructions are part of the adapter kit.
