3.2.2 Rackmounting
The instrument can be installed in a rack using a rack adapter kit. The order num-
ber is given in the data sheet. The installation instructions are part of the adapter
kit.
Risk of instrument damage due to insufficient airflow in a rack
If you mount several instruments in a rack, you need an ef
ficient ventilation
concept to ensure that the instruments do not overheat. Insufficient airflow
for a longer period can disturb the operation and even cause damage.
3.3 Starting the Instrument
Risk of injury
Connect the oscilloscope to an outlet that has a ground contact.
If grounding is not ensured by the mains system, ground the oscilloscope
using the protective earth conductor on the front panel and an appropriate
cable.
Do not use an isolating transformer to connect the oscilloscope to the AC
power supply
.
