Temperature control
WARNING
l
If the hardware has been stored or transported at extreme temperatures, wait for at least
2 hours to allow the hardware to acclimatize before switching it on.
l
Do not cover the fan outlets or the bottom of the device.
l
Do not operate on a tabletop without unfolding the feet.
l
Do not expose the product to direct sunlight or intense sunlight for too long, including
behind car windows.
In the event of ambient temperatures outside the specified range (see the Frame specifications), the system
will take measures to ensure proper cooling (increase fan speed) and eventually securely switch off the
system if sufficient cooling cannot be ensured.
Frame fan control
There are three fans in the frame, all running at the same speed, so they can be considered as one fan.
You can manually adjust fan settings with four modes of operation to ensure you achieve the desired
cooling, as well as an acceptable level of emitted noise.
To change the fan setting, you must use the "Device web page" on page62 for the frame.
Automatic switching between modes
If the internal temperature reaches a defined maximum, the fan speeds will automatically switch up to the
next higher speed setting, until the internal temperature falls below the limit.
If the need for cooling reduces, the fans will revert back to the mode you initially chose (after a period of
time). If you have chosen a mode, the system can never automatically select a mode below that. If, for
example, you have chosen 'Office', then the system cannot select 'Silent'.
Switching boards
With HBK FUSION hardware, it is possible to switch boards within a frame. This allows you to make different
channel configurations for each test and to use only the hardware that is needed.
l
The slots can be filled with any combination of HBK FUSION boards.
l
Boards are not stand-alone data acquisition units.
