Unpacking & Inspection
Each AVM-2000 is put through a series of electrical and mechanical inspections before shipment to the
customer. Upon receipt of your instrument unpack all of the items from the shipping carton and inspect for
any damage that may have occurred during transit. Report any damaged items to the shipping agent.
Retain and use the original packing material for reshipment if necessary.
Upon Receipt, inspect the carton for the following items:

Mounting
The AVM-2000 is a free-standing bench instrument housed in a protective metal enclosure. A single unit
may be mounted in a standard 19 inch rack using a conventional rack shelf. Bail front feet allow the user
to tilt the instrument for optimal viewing.
Use in Proper Environment
Normal calibration laboratory practice dictates that the environment should be closely controlled. This will
minimize errors introduced by temperature and humidity changes. A nominal temperature of 15 - 30 °C
provides a good working condition.
CAUTION: The AVM-2000 has a specified ambient temperature range 15 - 30 °C. Operating beyond these
limits can affect the accuracy of the instruments and damage internal circuitry.
CAUTION: When the AVM-2000 is to be stored for extended periods, pack the instrument into a container.
Place container in a clean, dry, temperature-controlled location. If instrument is to be stored in excess of
90 days, place desiccant with items before sealing container. The safe environmental limits for storage are
-20° to +60°C and 0% to 80% non-condensing relative humidity.
Do Not Use in Explosive Environments
CAUTION: The AVM-2000 is not designed for operation in explosive environments.
Ensure Power Switch is Accessible
CAUTION: Ensure that the POWER switch is easily accessible at all times and nothing is in place that would
impede proper use.
Do Not Operate Without Covers
WARNING: This device should be operated with all panels and covers in place. Operation with missing
panels or covers could result in personal injury.
