To remove and replace the covers
There are four outside covers on the HP 16500B and on the HP 16501A, a top cover, a bottom cover, and two side covers.
When removing the covers, note where the shielding braid is located. If the shielding braid separates from the covers, reinstall it when replacing the covers. The shielding braid helps the instrument meet EMI (electromagnetic interference) specifications.
1Remove the four rear feet.
The screws connecting the feet to the frame are accessible through the holes in the end of the feet.
2Remove the top and bottom covers.
To remove the covers, loosen the screw in the rear of the covers. If a captive screw was used, loosening the screw will pull the cover back. When the screw is completely loose from the frame, slide the cover off. To remove the bottom cover, turn the instrument on its side, then loosen the screw in the rear of the bottom cover.
3Remove the side strap handle and side covers.
To remove the side strap handle, remove the two strap retaining screws. Slide the strap handle cover off.
Note that the handle is rounded on the side closest to the instrument. Reinstall the handle with the same side toward the instrument.
To remove a side cover, loosen the screw in the rear of the cover. (The side cover with a strap handle will not have a rear screw.) If a captive screw was used, loosening the screw will pull the cover back. When the screw is completely loose from the frame, slide the cover off.
