Warning
Before energizing the instrument, the earth ground of the power receptacle 
must be verified to be at earth potential and able to carry the rated current of 
the power circuit. Using extension cords should be avoided, however, if one 
must be used, ensure the ground conductor is intact and capable of carrying 
the rated current.
In the event that the ground path of the instrument becomes less than sufficient 
to carry the rated current of the power circuit, the instrument should be 
disconnected from power, labeled as unsafe, and removed from place of 
operation.
Do not operate this instrument in the presence of flammable gases. Doing so 
could result in a life-threatening explosion.
Do not modify this instrument in any way. If component replacement is 
required, return the instrument to AMI facilities as described in the 
Troubleshooting section of this manual.
1.
Unpack the instrument
Carefully remove the instrument, sensor, oscillators and interconnecting coaxial 
cables from the shipping carton and remove all packaging material. A rack mounting 
kit is supplied if the instrument was purchased with the rack mount option.
Note
If there is any shipping damage, save all packing material and contact the 
shipping representative to file a damage claim. Do not return the instrument 
to AMI unless prior authorization has been received.
If the chassis is a table top model, place the instrument on a flat, secure surface.
Warning
Do not remove the cabinet feet and then reinsert the original screws. Doing so 
could present a severe life-threatening electrical hazard. If removal of the 
cabinet feet is desired, replace the original screws with screws not to exceed 
1/4" in length.
