Introduction
This section provides the information you need to install the 2600B, make communications
connections, and power up the instrument.
Cooling vents
The 2600B has side and top intake and rear exhaust vents. One side must be unobstructed to
dissipate heat.
Excessive heat could damage the 2600B and degrade its performance. Only operate the 2600B in an
environment where the ambient temperature does not exceed 50 °C.
Do not place a container of liquid (water or coffee, for instance) on the top cover. If it spills, the liquid
may enter the case through the vents and cause severe damage.
To prevent damaging heat build-up and ensure specified performance, use the
following guidelines.
The rear exhaust vent and either the top or both side intake vents must be unobstructed to
properly dissipate heat. Even partial blockage could impair proper cooling.
Do not position any devices adjacent to the 2600B that force air (heated or unheated) toward
its cooling vents or surfaces. This additional airflow could compromise accuracy.
When rack mounting the 2600B, make sure there is adequate airflow around both sides to
ensure proper cooling. Adequate airflow enables air temperatures within approximately one
inch of the 2600B surfaces to remain within specified limits under all operating conditions.
