INSTALLATION AND OPERATION VERIFICATION

MODEL 8559A

2-21. STORAGE AND SHIPMENT2-22.Environment

2-23. The instrument may be stored or shipped in environments within the following limits:

Temperature: - 40°C to +75°CAltitude: <7620 meters (25,000 feet)

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

2-24. Packaging

2-25. Original Packaging. Containers and materials identical to those used in factory packaging are available through Hewlett-Packard offices. If the instrument is being returned to Hewlett-Packard for servicing, attach a tag indicating the type of service required, return address, model number, and full serial number. A supply of these tags is provided at the end of this section. Also mark the container FRAGILE to assure careful handling. In any corre- spondence, refer to the instrument by model number and full serial number.

2-26. Other Packaging. The following general instructions should be used for repackaging with commercially available materials:

1.Wrap the instrument in heavy paper or plastic. If shipping to a Hewlett-Packard office or serv- ice center, attach a tag indicating the type of service required, return address, model number, and full serial number. A supply of these tags is provided at the end of this section.

Use a strong shipping container. A double-wall carton made of 350-pound test material is ade- quate.

Use enough shock-absorbing material (3-inch to 4-inch layer) around all sides of the instrument to provide firm cushion and prevent movement inside the container. Protect the control panel with cardboard.

Seal the shipping container securely.Mark the shipping container FRAGILE to assure careful handling.2-27. OPERATION VERIFICATION

2-28. The Operation Verification tests only the most critical specifications and operating features of the instrument. It requires much less time and equipment than the complete performance tests provided in Section IV, and is recommended for verification of overall instrument operation, either as part of incoming inspection or after repair. Operation Verification consists of the following performance tests:

Paragraph 4-11, Frequency Span AccuracyParagraph 4-17, Average Noise LevelParagraph 4-21, Bandwidth Switching (Arnpli- tude Variation)Paragraph 4-22, Input Attenuator AccuracyParagraph 4-25, Calibrator AccuracyParagraph 4-26, Display Fidelity
