Preparing For Use
This chapter gives you instructions for preparing the logic analysis system for use.
Power Requirements
The logic analysis system mainframe requires a power source of either 115 Vac or 230
Vac, –22 % to +10 %, single phase, 48 to 66 Hz, 475 W maximum power.
The logic analysis system expansion frame requires a power source of either 115 Vac
or 230 Vac, –22 % to +10 %, single phase, 48 to 66 Hz, 420 W maximum power.
Operating Environment
The operating environment is listed in chapter 1. Note the noncondensing humidity
limitation. Condensation within the instrument can cause poor operation or
malfunction. Provide protection against internal condensation.
The logic analysis system will operate at all specifications within the temperature and
humidity range given in chapter 1. However, reliability is enhanced when operating it
within the following ranges:
•
Temperature: +20
°
C to +35
°
C (+68
°
F to +95
°
F)
•
Humidity: 20% to 80% noncondensing
Storage
Store or ship the logic analysis system in environments within the following limits:
•
Temperature: -40
°
C to + 75
°
C
•
Humidity: Up to 90% at 65
°
C
•
Altitude: Up to 15,300 meters (50,000 feet)
Protect the system from temperature extremes which cause condensation on the
instrument.
To inspect the logic analysis system
1 Inspect the shipping container for damage.
If the shipping container or cushioning material is damaged, keep them until you have
checked the contents of the shipment and checked the instrument mechanically and
electrically.
W A R N I N G
Hazardous voltages exist in this instrument. To avoid electrical shock, do not apply power to
a damaged instrument.
