Installation
2.1 Introduction
This section contains installation information, power requirements, initial inspection and signal connections for
MODEL 4040DDS - Function Generator.
2.2 Mechanical Inspection
This instrument was carefully inspected before shipment. Upon receipt inspect the instrument for damage that might
have occurred in transit. If there is damage due to shipping, file a claim with the carrier who transported the unit. The
shipping and packing material should be saved if reshipment is required. If the original container is not to be used,
then use a heavy carton box. Wrap the unit with plastic and place cardboard strips across the face for protection. Use
packing material around all sides of the container and seal it with tape bands. Mark the box "FRAGILE".
2.3 Initial Inspection
After the mechanical inspection, verify the contents of the shipment (accessories and installed options). If the
contents are incomplete, or if the instrument does not pass the specification acceptance tests, notify the local service
center.
2.4 Instrument Mounting
The MODEL 4040DDS - Function Generator is intended for bench use. The instrument includes a front feet tilt
mechanism for optimum panel viewing angle. The instrument does not require special cooling when operated within
conventional temperature limits. The unit can be installed in a closed rack or test station if proper air flow is assured
for removing about 15 W of power dissipation.
2.5 Power Requirements
The MODEL 4040DDS can be operated from any source of 90V to 264V AC, frequency from 48Hz to 66Hz. The
maximum power consumption is 30 VA. Use a slow blow fuse UL/CSA approved of 1A as indicated on the rear
panel of the instrument.
The instrument power fuse is located in the AC input plug. To access the fuse, first disconnect the power cord and
then remove the fuse cartridge.
2.6 Grounding Requirements
For the safety of operating personnel, the instrument must be grounded. The central pin on the AC plug grounds the
instrument when properly connected to the ground wire and plugged into proper receptacle.
