Condensation within the instrument can cause poor operation or malfunction. Protection should be provided against internal condensation.

The HP 16532A Oscilloscope Module will operate at all specifications within the temperature and humidity range given in table 1-2. However, reliability is enhanced when operating the module within the following ranges.

∙Temperature: + 20 °C to + 35 °C (+ 68 °F to + 95 °F)

∙Humidity: 20% to 80% non-condensing

2-8. Storage

The module may be stored or shipped in environments within the following limits:

∙Temperature: − 40 °C to + 75 °C

∙Humidity: Up to 90% at 65 °C

∙Altitude: Up to 15,300 meters (50,000 feet)

The module should also be protected from temperature extremes which cause condensation on the instrument.

2-9. Packaging

The following general instructions should be used for repacking the module with commercially available materials.

∙Wrap the module in antistatic plastic.

∙Use a strong shipping container. A double- walled carton made of 350-lb test material is adequate.
