Rack Mounting
The Model 5071A Unit is designed for mounting in a standard 19-inch (48.26 cm) rack. Follow the
rack manufacturer's instructions for mounting the Model 5071A Unit while observing the following
guidelines:
Elevated Operating Temperature: If the Model 5071A Unit is installed in a closed or
multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater
than the Model 5071A Unit's Maximum Operating Temperature of 50°C/122°F. Install
the Model 5071A Unit in an environment that is compatible with the Model 5071A Unit 's
operating temperature range, which is 0 °C to 50 °C, or 32 °F to 122 °F
Mechanical Loading: Mount the Model 5071A Unit so as to avoid uneven mechanical
loading that could cause hazardous conditions.
Circuit Overloading: Observe the power ratings on the Model 5071A Unit 's nameplate
and the additional load the Model 5071A Unit may place on the supply circuit.
Overloading the supply circuit may adversely affect the supply wiring and over-current
protection.
Reliable Earthing: Maintain reliable earthing (grounding) of rack mounted equipment.
Pay particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch
circuit (e.g., use of power strips).
CAUTION ________________
Damage to equipment, or incorrect measurement data, may result from failure to heed a caution.
Do not proceed beyond a CAUTION sign until the indicated conditions are fully understood and
met.
Whenever it is likely that the protection has been impaired, the instrument must be made
inoperative and be secured against any unintended operation.
If this instrument is to be energized via an autotransformer (for voltage reduction) make sure the
common terminal is connected to the earthed pole terminal (neutral) of the power source.
Instructions for adjustments while covers are removed and for servicing are for use by service-
trained personnel only. To avoid dangerous electric shock, do not perform such adjustments or
servicing unless qualified to do so.
