WARNING -
INITIAL VISUAL INSPECTION
After unpacking the instrument, inspect the shipping container and its cushioning material
for signs of stress or damage. If damage is identified, retain the packing material for examination
by the carrier in the event that a claim is made. Examine the instrument for signs of damage; do
not connect the instrument to a supply when damage is present, internal electrical damage could
result in shock if the instrument is turned on.
MOUNTING ARRANGEMENTS
Excessive temperatures may affect the performance of the instrument. Completely
remove the plastic cover, if one is supplied over the case, and avoid standing the instrument on or
close to other equipment which is hot.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Ventilation
This instrument is forced air cooled by a fan mounted on the rear panel. Air must be
allowed to circulate freely through the ventilator grills located on the side and underside of the
instrument. Before switching on the instrument, ensure that the air outlet on the rear panel is not
restricted (i.e. clearance of at least 75 mm at the rear, 25 mm at each side, 15 mm on the
underside). Failure to provide adequate clearances will increase internal temperatures and reduce
the instrument reliability, so its performance may not meet specification.
Class I power cords (3-core)
General
When the equipment has to be plugged into a Class II (ungrounded) 2-terminal socket
outlet, the cable should either be fitted with a 3-pin Class I plug and used in conjunction with an
adapter incorporating a ground wire, or be fitted with a Class II plug with an integral ground
wire. The ground wire must be securely fastened to ground. Grounding one terminal on a
2-terminal socket will not provide adequate protection.
In the event that a moulded plug has to be removed from a lead, it must be disposed of
immediately. A plug with bare flexible cords is hazardous if engaged in a live socket outlet.
Power cords with the following terminations are available from Aeroflex. Please check
with your local sales office for availability.
This equipment is provided with a 3-wire (grounded) cordset which includes a moulded
IEC 320 connector for connection to the equipment. The cable must be fitted with an approved
plug which, when plugged into an appropriate 3-terminal socket outlet, grounds the case of the
equipment. Failure to ground the equipment may expose the operator to hazardous voltage
levels. Depending upon the destination country, the colour coding of the wires will differ:
North America Harmonised
Line (Live) Black Brown
Neutral White Blue
Ground (Earth) Green Green/Yellow
