Preparing for Use
Installing the Signal Generator
Installing Front Handles and Rack Mount Flanges
You can attach handles to the front of the signal generator to facilitate
transportation of the instrument. Handles are available in a kit which can be
ordered when the signal generator is purchased (Option 1CN), or at any time
afterward. Assembly instructions are included with the kit. The kit part number is
listed in Table 1-2.
You can also rack mount the signal generator. Hardware is available in kits to
install rack mount flanges on the signal generator without or with handles. These
kits can be ordered when the signal generator is purchased (Options 1CM and
1CP), or at any time afterward. Assembly instructions are included with the kits.
The kit part numbers are listed in Table 1-2.
Providing Adequate Ventilation
CAUTION Ventilation Requirements: When installing the product in a cabinet, the
convection into and out of the product must not be restricted. The ambient
temperature (outside the cabinet) must be less than the maximum operating
temperature of the product by 4° C for every 100 watts dissipated in the cabinet.
If the total power dissipated in the cabinet is greater than 800 watts, then forced
convection must be used.
Cooling holes are located on the sides and bottom of the instrument cover and the
rear panel of the instrument. Do not allow these holes to be obstructed as they
allow air flow through the signal generator.
