Installation and Power On

This section contains information about installing and powering on the waveform monitor. Instructions for performing firmware upgrades are located in the WFM700 Series Technical Reference document on the CD-ROM.

Hardware Installation

NOTE. Instructions for installing or removing the waveform monitor from a cabinet, and for adding or removing a module from the instrument are located in the WFM700 Series Technical Reference document on the CD-ROM.

The waveform monitor is shipped in a wrap-around chassis that covers the instrument bottom and two sides. A cover is installed on the chassis, and the rear panel is made up of the module rear panels.

You can operate the waveform monitor in the instrument chassis (be sure the cover is on) or installed in an approved portable cabinet or rack adapter. You can also install the waveform monitor in a custom installation, such as a console.

CAUTION. Do not install the waveform monitor in any cabinet except those that are listed in Optional Accessories on page 1-4. Attempting to do so can damage the waveform monitor and the cabinet.

If you install the waveform monitor in a custom application, such as a console, be sure to provide adequate airflow. Follow these guidelines:

HDo not block the ventilating holes.

HAdhere to the clearance requirements that are listed in the specification tables of the WFM700 Series Technical Reference document on the CD-ROM.

CAUTION. Failure to provide adequate airflow to the waveform monitor could cause the instrument to shut down (refer to Table 2-2 on page 2-3 for LED fault codes). If the airflow is blocked and the instrument does not shut down, the instrument could be seriously damaged.
