Installation
Installation
The waveform monitor is shipped in a wrap-around chassis that covers the instrument bottom and two sides. A cover is
installed on the chassis, and the rear panel is made up of the module rear panels. You can operate the waveform monitor in
the instrument chassis (be sure the top cover is on) or installed in an approved portable cabinet or rack adapter. You can
also install the waveform monitor in a custom installation, such as a console.
To install the waveform monitor in a cabinet or rack, follow the instructions that are included with the optional accessory kits
that are available for each type of installation.
CAUTION.
Do not install the waveform monitor in any cabinet except those that are listed in Optional Accessories.
Attempting to do so can damage the waveform monitor and the cabinet.
If you install the waveform monitor in a custom application, such as a console, be sure to provide adequate airflow. Do not
block the ventilating holes.
CAUTION.
Failure to provide adequate air
fl
ow to the waveform monitor could cause the instrument to shut down. If the
air
fl
ow is blocked and the instrument does not shut down, the instrument could be seriously damaged.
Connecting Power and Powering On/Off
The waveform monitor operates from a single-phase power source with the neutral conductor at or near earth ground. The
line conductor is fused for over-current protection. A protective ground connection through the grounding conductor in
the power cord is essential for safe operation.
AC Power Requirements
The waveform monitor operates from an AC line frequency of 50 or 60 Hz, over the range of 100-240 Volts, without the need
for configuration, except the power cord. (See page 1,
Power Cords
.)
The typical power draw is 50 Watts for a base unit. Refer to the
Speci
fi
cations and Performance Veri
fi
cation
document for
additional information on power and environmental requirements.
Connect the supplied power cord to the rear-panel power connector. There is no power switch on the waveform monitor, so
the instrument will turn on as soon as you apply power.
Installing the Monitor in a Video System
The waveform monitor can operate almost anywhere in the distribution system. The following diagrams for serial digital
systems and for the analog composite inputs.
