Preparation for Use
Installation
Before installation, refer to the Safety Summary section at the front of this manual for power source, grounding, and other safety information.
Environment Verify that you have the correct operating environment.
CAUTION. Damage to the instrument can occur if it is powered on at temperatures outside the specified temperature range.
The AWG710 Arbitrary Waveform Generator operates correctly in ambient temperatures from +10_ C to +40_ C (50_ F to +104_ F) and relative humidity from 20% to 80% with no condensation. If the instrument is stored at temperatures outside this range, do not switch on the power until the chassis is within the operating temperature range. For detailed operating environment information, refer to Specifications on page 1±3 and 1±14.
NOTE. If you are installing the instrument in a rack, refer to the instruction sheet that accompanies the
Verify that there is nothing blocking the flow of air at the fan and air intake holes. The instrument exhausts air using the internal fan. Create open space at the sides of the instrument so that it does not overheat. The following are the minimum space requirements for air flow around the instrument:
Rear | 7.5 cm (3 in) |
Left and right | 15.0 cm (6 in) |
Top and bottom | 2 cm (0.8 in) |
(The feet on the bottom of the instrument provide the required clearance when set on a flat surface.)
