Operation with rear panel inputs and Scanner
If the 5017 is to be operated from the rear panel inputs or the built-in scanner, please
proceed as follows:
)
1. Please remove all measurement cables from the connectors and
unplug the unit.
2. Turn the unit upside down, so that it is lying on its top shell.
3. Remove the four screws from the unit case's bottom shell.
4. Remove the unit case's bottom shell.
5. Tightly grasp and remove and then swap the two front-rear cable-set connec-
tors that are visible on the left, as seen from the front panel of the unit. Only
the rear cable-set connector is connected to the preamplifier input circuitry.
The front cable-set connector is essentially a place-holder for the input that is
not being used.
6. While re-sealing the case, make sure that no wires are caught anywhere.
After turning the unit on (of course, you should first re-seal the unit’s cover) the
channel indicator field in the display will show the indication “REAR,” or a channel
number (if the Scanner is installed).
The software automatically checks for any rear-panel connections when the unit is
turned on and tests if the cable set connector has been moved from front panel input
to rear-panel input.
2.11 Rack Mounting
A rack adapter with two height units is offered for the 5017. The unit has a width of
one-half 19-inch, so it can be combined with another half-19-inch unit. More infor-
mation about rack mounting can be found in the Chapter “Accessories.”
When installing the unit into a 19-inch rack, you should take into account, that the
ventilation openings in the back are not covered up. In addition, it should be possible
to cut power to the unit in an emergency, through the use of an EMERGENCY OFF
switch somewhere nearby.
Note: When the unit is installed in a 19-inch rack, and is to be operated through
the rear panel inputs or the Scanner, please make sure that the front-rear
cable-set connector in the unit has been connected to rear-panel input, prior
to installing the unit into the rack (see the previous section on
“Connection of Measurement Leads”).
