2-1. INTRODUCTION
2-2. This section contains information for unpacking,
inspection, repacking, storage, and installation. The
instructions for remote programming are also given
in this section.
2-3. UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
2-4. If the shipping carton is damaged, ask that the
carrier’s agent be present when the instrument is un¬
packed. Inspect the instrument for damage (scratches,
dents, broken knobs, etc.). If the instrument is
damaged or fails to self-check (Self-Check Procedures,
Table 3-1), notify the carrier and nearest Hewlett-
Packard Sales and Service Office immediately (offices
are listed at the back of this manual). Retain the
shipping carton and padding material for the carrier’s
inspection. The sales and service office will arrange
for the repair or replacement of your instrument with¬
out waiting for the claim against the carrier to be
settled.
2-5. STORAGE AND SHIPMENT
2-6. PACKAGING. To protect valuable electronic
equipment during storage or shipment always use the
best packaging methods available. Your Hewlett-
Packard Sales and Service Office can provide packing
material such as that used for original factory pack¬
aging. Contract packaging companies in many cities
can provide dependable custom packaging on short
notice. Here are two recommended packaging-
methods:
a. RUBBERIZED HAIR. Cover painted surfaces
of instrument with protective wrapping paper. Pack
instrument securely in strong corrugated container
(350 lb/sq. in. bursting test) with 2-inch rubberized
hair pads placed along all surfaces of the instrument.
Insert fillers between pads and container to ensure a
snug fit.
b. EXCEI^SIOR. Cover painted surfaces of in¬
instrument with protective wrapping paper. Pack
instrument in strong corrugated container (350 lb/sq.
in. bursting test) with a layer of excelsior about six
inches thick packed firmly against all surfaces of the
instrument.
2-7. ENVIRONMENT. Conditions during storage and
shipment should normally be limited as follows:
a. Maximum altitude: 25,000 feet.
b. Minimum temperature: -40°F (-40°C).
c. Maximum temperature: +167°F(+75°C).
2-8. RACK INSTALLATION
2-9. The counter is ready for bench operation as
shipped from the factory. Additional parts necessary
for rack mounting are packaged with the instrument.
To convert to rack installation, proceed as follows:
a. Remove tilt stand.
b. Remove feet (press the foot-release button,
slide foot toward center of instrument, and lift off).
c. Remove adhesive-backed trim strips at front
end of sides.
d. Attach filler strip along bottom edge of front
panel using two screws on outer edges of filler strip.
Omit the center screw.
e. Attach flanges to front end of sides (larger
comer notch toward bottom of instrument). Instrument
is now ready to mount in standard rack.
CAUTION
Ambient temperature in rack during
operation should not exceed 122°F
(50''C). Be sure instrument position in
rack permits adequate air circulation
and that nearby equipment does not dis¬
charge hot air directly on the instrument.
2-10. POWER CONNECTION
2-11. LINE VOLTAGE. The counter may be operated
from either 115 or 230 volt (±10%) power lines with
frequencies from 50 to 60 Hz. A slide switch on the
rear panel permits quick conversion for operation
from either voltage. Insert a narrow-blade screw¬
driver in the switch slot and slide the switch to the
right for 230 volt operation (“230” marking exposed)
or to the left for 115 volt operation (“115” marking
exposed). The counter is supplied with a 115 volt
fuse; be sure to change this fuse for 230 volt operation,
see Table 2-1.
CAUTION
Before plugging instrument to ac power
line be sure slide switch is properly
positioned.
