Meeting Electrical and Environmental Requirements
Environment
The signal generator is designed for use in the following environmental conditions:
• indoor use
• < 15,000 feet (4,572 meters) altitude
• 0 to 55
°
C temperature, unless otherwise specified
• 80% relative humidity (maximum) for temperatures up to 31
°
C, decreasing linearly to 50% relative
humidity at 40
°
C
CAUTION
This product is designed for use in INSTALLATION CATEGORY II and POLLUTION
DEGREE 2, per IEC 61010 and 664, respectively.
Ventilation
Ventilation holes are located on the left side of the signal generator cover and the rear of the signal generator
chassis. Do not allow these holes to be obstructed, as they allow air flow through the signal generator.
When installing the signal generator in a cabinet, the convection into and out of the signal generator must
not be restricted. The ambient temperature outside the cabinet must be less than the maximum operating
temperature of the signal generator by 4
°
C for every 100 watts dissipated within the cabinet.
CAUTION
Damage to the signal generator may result when the total power dissipated in the cabinet is
greater than 800 watts. When this condition exists, forced convection must be applied.
