Installation Site and Environmental Conditions
Locations to be avoided
The MS2665C/67C/68C spectrum analyzer operates normally at temperatures from 0 to 50 ˚C. However, for
the best performance, the following locations should be avoided.
• Where there is severe vibration
• Where the humidity is high
• Where the equipment will be exposed to direct sunlight
• Where the equipment will be exposed to active gases
In addition to meeting the above conditions, to insure long-term trouble-free operation, the equipment should
be used at room temperature and in a location where the power supply voltage does not fluctuate greatly.
CAUTION
If the MS2665C/67C/68C spectrum analyzer is used at normal temperatures after it has been
used or stored for a long time at low temperatures, there is a risk of short-circuiting caused by
condensation. To prevent this risk, do not turn the MS2665C/67C/68C on until it has been
allowed to dry out sufficiently.
Fan clearance
To suppress any internal temperature increase, the MS2665C/67C/68C has a fan on the rear panel as shown in
the diagram below. Leave a gap of at least 10 cm between the rear panel and the wall, nearby equipment or
obstructions so that fan ventilation is not blocked.
