Preparation for Use
Unpacking
We recommend that you keep the packing material should you ever decide to send the
unit back for an upgrade or repair.
Placement
It is suggested to place the RPR-4000 on a hard level surface capable of safely supporting
35kg. The RPR-4000 is cooled by drawing air in via the vented bottom panel and pushed
out via the fans on the rear panel. The RPR-4000 has feet on the bottom of the instrument
which keep the instrument approximately 15mm above the surface it is placed on. Placing
the instrument on a soft surface such as carpet is not recommended as this will reduce the
airflow to the bottom of the instrument and may cause overheating. Also be sure not to
place the unit in such a way that it obstructs the airflow out of the rear panel fans. It is
suggested that there be at least a 4” open air gap at the back of the instrument for air flow
and access to the AC main power switch. These gaps should also be maintained if rack
mounting.
Failure to ensure proper clearances for air flow may result in
the instrument overheating and shutting down.
Connecting AC Power
The RPR-4000 has an auto switching AC mains input. Acceptable inputs are 95-125VAC
±5% and 195-250VAC ±5% at 300VA. Always connect the RPR-4000 to a properly
grounded source using the supplied line cord. Failure to properly ground this instrument
could result in injury. Should the AC line cord need to be replaced, only replace with a
cord with equal or greater ratings (10A at your specific line voltages).
Always connect the RPR-4000 to a properly grounded AC source
using the supplied line cord.
