Ventilation
CAUTION Ventilation Requirements: When installing the product in a cabinet, the
convection into and out of the product must not be restricted. The ambient
temperature (outside the cabinet) must be less than the maximum operating
temperature of the product by 4
°
C for every 100 watts dissipated in the
cabinet. If the total power dissipated in the cabinet is greater than 800 watts,
then forced convection must be used.
Cooling holes are located on the sides and bottom of the instrument cover and the rear
panel of the instrument. Do not allow these holes to be obstructed as they allow air flow
through the signal generator.
