Preparing for assembly
Before you unpack the components that comprise your test instrument, review the
following instructions in
•
“Unpacking the components” on page 5
•
“Inspecting the components for damage” on page 6
Connecting a DMC to a base unit
Before connecting your DMC to a T-BERD
⁄
MTS 8000 base unit, review the key prin-
ciples and base unit requirements, and gather the proper tools.
Key principles
When connecting or disconnecting the instrument components, focus on the following
principles to ensure a secure connection and avoid damaging the connectors:
Sequence.
If you are connecting a DMC to an 8000 base unit,
the DMC must be
connected directly to the base unit
with no modules between the base unit and the
DMC. If you are connecting two DMCs, they must be the first two modules attached,
and the first DMC must be connected directly to the base unit. You can attach additional
modules after connecting the DMC (or DMCs) to the base unit.
Alignment.
Ensure that the holes on the corners of the DMC, or Battery Module are
aligned with the holes on the component you are attaching it to. For example, if you are
attaching the DMC to the base unit, ensure that the holes of the DMC are aligned with
the holes on the base unit.
Parallel position
. Ensure that you are holding the DMC, or Battery Module in a position
parallel to the base unit or DMC. If either module is held at even a slight angle, there is
a risk of damage to the connectors.
Proper torque.
Ensure that you tighten the screw using the hex key (for the DMC) or
a flat blade screwdriver (for the Battery Module) until you feel a
slight resistance
, and
then tighten it using an additional 1/4 turn. If you are using a torque wrench, apply
1.5 N-m (13.3 in-lb) to the final turn.
Verifying the base unit requirements
Before connecting a DMC to a base unit, verify that the base unit satisfies the require-
ment stated in
.
