2-1. Introduction
XWWarning
To avoid electrical shock, personal injury, use extreme caution
when working with the Instrument binding posts. The
Instruments can supply lethal voltages to the binding posts of
both Master and Auxiliary Instruments.
This chapter provides instructions for unpacking and installing the Instrument. The
procedures for fuse replacement, and connection to line power are provided here. Read
this chapter before you operate the Instrument.
Instructions for cable connections other than line power connection can be found in the
following chapters of the manual:
• Voltage and Current output connections and instructions for use of the 6100B
lead set is in Chapter 4.
• IEEE-488 interface bus connection information is in Chapter 5.
2-2. Unpack and Inspection
The Instruments are shipped in a container designed to prevent damage during shipping.
Inspect the Instrument carefully for damage, and immediately report any damage to the
shipper. Instructions for inspection and claims are included in the shipping container.
A packing list is included in the packaging. When you unpack the Instrument, check for
all the standard equipment listed and check the shipping order for any additional items
ordered. Report any shortage to the place of purchase or to the nearest Fluke Service
Center.
2-3. To Reship the Instrument
A transit case can be purchased from Fluke. The Fluke part number is 1887580. This
container is suitable for most handling conditions but provides less shock protection than
the original cardboard packaging. It is recommended that the original container be used
when possible.
2-4. Placement
This Instrument is designed to operate in controlled electromagnetic environments such
as calibration and measurement laboratories i.e. where R.F. transmitters such as mobile
telephones are not be used in close proximity.
The Instrument is suitable for bench top use, as long as there is sufficient space on either
side to allow adequate ventilation.
The Instrument can be rack mounted using Fluke part number 1887571. Details of the
rack mounting kit and fitting instructions are provided with the kit. Note that the airflow
through the Instrument is from left to right as viewed from the front. If mounted in a rack,
the airflow must be in the same direction.
2-5. Cooling Considerations
WCaution
Damage caused by overheating may occur if the area around
the air intake is restricted, the intake air is too warm, or the air
filter becomes clogged.
