that it must be supported on both sides along its entire length through the use of trays or slides. If it
is to be transported while mounted in a rack, it should be supported so as to prevent upward or
downward movement.
It is recommended that blank panels at least 1.75 inches high be installed between this and any other
units in the rack to ensure freedom of air flow. Under no circumstances should the ambient air
temperature around the unit exceed 50°C while the unit is in operation or 70°C when power is
removed.
Safety Considerations
The power plug must be a three-contact device and should be inserted only into a three-contact
mating socket where the third contact provides a ground connection. If power is provided through
an extension cable, the ground connection must be continuous. Any discontinuity in the ground
lead may render the unit unsafe for use!
The testing of inductive loads such as transformers requires that special precautions be taken to
avoid damage to the instrument and/or injury to the operator! Please refer to Chapter 11.
