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.
If multiple instruments are stacked, the collapsed support feet are positioned in
the locking mechanism of the instrument beneath, preventing unintended move-
ment.
Mounting in a Rack
You can install the R&S
HMP in a rack using a rack adapter kit (R&S
HZ42 for
R&S
HMP20xx instruments, and R&S
HZP91 for R&S
HMP40xx). The installation
instructions are part of the adapter kit.
To prepare the R&S
HMP for installation in a rack, you can remove the feet on
the bottom:
1. Unscrew the mounting screws on the bottom of the instrument.
