Installation

Mechanical Installation

All qualification testing was performed with a Tektronix 1700F00 cabinet installed. To guarantee compliance with specifications, the instrument should be operated in a cabinet or rackmount adapter. The Tektronix 1700F00, 1700F02, and 1700F05 provide the proper electrical environment for the instrument, supply adequate shielding, minimize handling damage, and reduce dust collection within the instrument.

Cabinets

WARNING

Do not lift a cabinetized instrument without installing the mounting screws. There is nothing to hold the instrument in the cabinet if it is tipped forward.

The 1700F00 is a plain cabinet designed for permanent installations, and the 1700F02 is a portable cabinet with handle, feet, flipstand, and front cover. Ordering information is given on page 1-8.

Custom Installation

For applications such as consoles, the instrument can be mounted with front molding flush or protruding from the console. In both cases, allow approximately three inches of rear clearance for BNC and power-cord connections. To mount the instrument safely, attach it to a shelf strong enough to hold its weight, using the four 0.156-inch diameter holes in the bottom of the 1700F00 cabinet. Refer to the data sheet included with the cabinet for hole locations.
