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.
Rackmounting
The R&S
SMC 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.
Risk of instrument damage in a rack
An insufficient airflow can cause the instrument to overheat, which may disturb the
operation and even cause damage.
Make sure that all fan openings are unobstructed, that the airflow perforations are
unimpeded, and that the minimum distance from the wall is 10 cm.
2.3.4 Connecting the Instrument to the AC Supply
The R&S
SMC is automatically adapted to the AC voltage supplied. There is no need
to set the voltage manually or change fuses. The
is at the rear of the unit.
