SETTING UP THE SYSTEM
Important Retain the shipping container and all packaging materials, including the wooden
pallet. In the event that the instrument needs to be returned for service, the instrument
must be shipped in the original container to maintain warranty protection.
Locating the Instrument
Select a location for the Mx3000P or Mx3005P instrument according to the
following guidelines:
• Select a flat, level surface
• Ensure that the workbench is capable of supporting at least 45 lbs
(20.4 kg)
• Allow 4 inches (10.2 cm) airflow on the front and rear of the instrument
• Position the instrument to allow easy access to the instrument power
entry module (containing the instrument power switch)
• The instrument should be installed in a location where it will not be
exposed to direct sunlight or vibration during use
Environmental Conditions for Use
• Maximum altitude: 2000 m (6562 ft)
• Ambient temperature and relative humidity range for operation:
18–35°C (65–95°F); up to 85% non-condensing humidity
• Installation Category II
Installation Category ratings establish standardized voltage levels
that may occur in the electrical distribution system. Category II is
for measurements performed on circuits directly connected to the
electrical distribution system (i.e. a wall outlet on normal single-
phase supply [115/230 VAC]).
• Pollution Degree 2
Pollution Degree ratings define the type of environment the
equipment is typically installed in. Pollution Degree 2 refers to an
office environment with occasional condensation.
• For Indoor Use Only
