Ventilation
Ventilation
Do not rack mount the test platform side-by-side with any other instrument
with side ventilation. Make sure the exhaust air from the first instrument is
directed away from the inlet of the second unit. If the pre-heated air from the
first instrument is directed into the second instrument, it can cause excessive
operating temperatures in the second unit and can cause instrument failures.
The test platform draws air in from the left side and exhausts air from the right
side. Do not mount other equipment immediately above the instrument. The
minimal required clearance is 2.75 inches (7 cm).
VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS: When installing the instrument(s) into a
cabinet, consideration shall be given to the convection flow into and out of the
cabinet. Consideration shall also be given to the individual instruments to avoid
having the heated discharge of one instrument, now becoming the cooling
intake air for another instrument.
Do not place the test set against any surface in such a way as to block its
ventilation openings. Interfering with ventilation airflow can cause the test set
to overheat.
Another area of concern is verification that the maximum ambient operating
temperature of the instrument(s) is not exceeded by cabinet installation.
Keysight recommends forced air convection whenever an instrument(s) are
installed in a cabinet and further recommends that the maximum operating
temperature of the cabinet be reduced 10°C from the lowest, of the maximum
operating temperature of a single instrument.
If there are any concerns or special requirements an Keysight Field Engineer
should be consulted to assure instrument(s) temperature compliance and
performance.used.
