Airflow Considerations - Fluke 5502A Operator's Manual

Airflow Considerations

For safe operation and maintenance of the Product, make sure
that the space around the Product meets minimum
requirements.
Baffles put cool air from the fan into the chassis to internally dissipate heat when the
Calibrator is in operation. The accuracy and dependability of all internal parts of the
calibrator are enhanced by a cool internal temperature. You can increase the life of the
Calibrator and enhance its performance by these rules:
•
The area around the air filter must be a minimum 3 inches from close walls or rack
enclosures.
•
The exhaust perforations on the sides of the Calibrator must be clear of blockage.
•
The air that gets to the Calibrator must be at room temperature. Make sure the
exhaust air from other instruments does not enter into the fan inlet.
•
Clean the air filter after 30 days or more frequently if the calibrator is operated in a
dusty environment. (See the "Maintenance" chapter for instructions to clean the air
filter.)
