The
following environmental requirements are provided to
ensure
proper
operation
and
long
instrument
life.
Operating Temperature
The
2212
Oscilloscope can be operated where
the
ambient air temperature
is between O
O
and
40
°C
and
can
be
stored
in
ambient temperatures from
-55
°C
to
+75
°C.
After storage
at
temperatures outside
the
operating limits,
allow
the
instrument to stabilize
at
a safe operating temperature before
applying power.
Ventilation Requirements
The

Oscilloscope is cooled by air
drawn
in
and
exhausted through its
cabinet holes. Leave at least 2
cm
space around
the

of
any
obstruction to airflow.
If
