2 - Installation

Location

Refer to the Safety Summary page at the beginning of this manual for safety-related information about environmental conditions.

CAUTION: Agilent 6811B/6812B units weigh 28.2 kg (62 lbs). Agilent 6813B units weigh 32.7 kg (72 lbs).

Obtain adequate help when moving or mounting the unit in the rack.

Bench Operation

The outline diagram in figure 2-1 gives the dimensions of your ac source. The feet may be removed for rack mounting. Your ac source must be installed in a location that allows sufficient space at the sides and back of the unit for adequate air circulation. Minimum clearances are 1 inch (25 mm) along the sides. Do

not block the fan exhaust at the rear of the unit.

Rack Mounting

The ac source can be mounted in a standard 19-inch rack panel or cabinet. Rack mounting kits are available as Option 1CM or 1CP. Installation instructions are included with each rack mounting kit. Agilent ac sources also require instrument support rails in addition to the rack mount kit. Support rails are normally ordered with the cabinet and are not included with the rack mounting kits.
