Installation 2

Inspecting the Unit

When you receive your power supply, inspect it for any obvious damage that may have occurred during shipment. If there is damage, notify the shipping carrier and nearest Agilent Sales and Service Office immediately. Refer to Appendix C for more information.

Until you have checked out the power supply, save the shipping carton and packing materials in case the unit has to be returned.

Installing the Unit

Safety Considerations

This power supply is a Safety Class 1 instrument, which means it has a protective earth terminal. That terminal must be connected to earth ground through power source equipped with a ground receptacle. Refer to the Safety Summary page at the beginning of this guide for general safety information. Before installation or operation, check the power supply and review this guide for safety warnings and instructions. Safety warnings for specific procedures are located at appropriate places throughout this Guide.

Environment

 

Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable gasses or fumes

WARNING

 

 

 

The environmental conditions, dimensions of the instrument, as well

 

as an outline diagram are given in Appendix A. Basically, the

 

instrument should only be operated indoors in a controlled

 

environment. Do not operate the power supply in an area where the

 

ambient temperature exceeds 40° C.

 

Agilent N5700 power supplies generate magnetic fields, which may affect the

NOTE

 

operation of other instruments. If your equipment is susceptible to magnetic

 

fields, do not position it adjacent to the power supply.

 

 

Airflow

Fans cool the power supply by drawing air through the front and exhausting it out the back. The instrument must be installed in a location that allows sufficient space of at least 10 cm (4 in) at the front and back of the unit for adequate air circulation.
