1.4.2 Bench top operation
If the R&S NRP2 is operated on a bench top, the surface should be flat. The instrument
can be used in horizontal position, standing on its feet, or with the support feet on the
bottom extended.
1.4.3 Mounting the instrument in a rack
The R&S NRP2 can be installed in a rack using a variety of rack adapters (order numbers
see data sheet). The installation instructions are part of an adapter kit.
Risk of instrument damage
For rack installation, make sure that the airflow perforations are unimpeded. This helps
to prevent the instruments from being overheated.
