2.1 Installation 
2.1.01 Introduction 
Installation of the model 7230 is very straightforward. The instrument can be 
operated on almost any laboratory bench or be rack mounted at the user's 
convenience. With an ambient operating temperature range of 0 
C to 35 
C, it is 
highly tolerant to environmental variables, needing only to be protected from 
exposure to corrosive agents and liquids. 
The model 7230 does not use forced-air ventilation; however it should be located so 
that there is reasonable flow of air around it to aid cooling. 
 
2.1.02 Rack Mounting 
An optional accessory kit, part number K02006, is available from 
SIGNAL RECOVERY to allow the model 7230 to be mounted in a standard 19-inch 
rack. 
2.1.03 Inspection 
Upon receipt the model 7230 Lock-in Amplifier should be inspected for shipping 
damage. If any is noted, SIGNAL RECOVERY should be notified immediately and 
a claim filed with the carrier. The shipping container should be saved for inspection 
by the carrier. 
2.1.04 Line Cord Plug 
The model 7230 is powered from the model PS0110 remote power module that in 
turn is fitted with a standard IEC 320 input socket. A suitable line power cord is 
supplied. 
2.1.05 Line Voltage Selection 
The model PS0110 is suitable for line voltages in the range 100 - 240 V AC, 47 - 
63 Hz, and no adjustment is needed to accommodate this range. It is internally 
protected against short circuit and overload and in the event of failure cannot be 
repaired and must be replaced. 
2.2 Initial Checks 
2.2.01 Introduction 
The following procedure checks the performance of the model 7230. In general, this 
procedure should be carried out after inspecting the instrument for obvious shipping 
damage. 
NOTE: Any damage must be reported to the carrier and to SIGNAL RECOVERY 
immediately. In addition the shipping container must be retained for inspection by 
the carrier. 
Note that this procedure is intended to demonstrate that the instrument has arrived in
