Preparing for Use
4.1 Unpacking the Device
Remove the device from its packaging and carefully check it for any damage. Should
there be any damage, inform the carrier immediately and keep the packaging to
support any subsequent claims.The original packaging is also useful for transporting or
shipping the device later on.
Both handles must be used when removing the V-network from its packaging and
when carrying it. Since it is very heavy (24 kg), it is recommended to always have two
persons carry the V-network. Otherwise, there is a risk of injury.
4.2 Setting Up The Device
Before putting the R&S ENV432 into operation, make sure the following requirements
have been met.
● The V-network is connected to an additional protective earth conductor.
● The air vents are not blocked.
● No signal or operating voltages exceeding the permitted limits are present at the
inputs.
● The maximum permissible constant current at the device's outputs is not exceeded
and the outputs are not incorrectly connected.
Be sure to observe the requirements in the safety instructions chapter as well as the
section on protective earth grounding!
In general, when the R&S ENV432 is operated, make sure that the air supply is not
obstructed from above or below. Since the device has air vents on the bottom side, it
must be placed on a nonflammable base (e.g. metal plate) in order to prevent a fire if
the ventilation system fails.
Ignoring these instructions can lead to damage to the device.
