Installing the LDT-5900

This section provides information about the necessary requirements to install a
LDT-5900 Series Temperature Controller and how to begin operating the
instrument.

Initial Inspection

Verify that the following items were shipped with the instrument:
• LDT-5900 User's Guide
• Power Cord
When unpacking the instrument, make sure to save the packaging and protective
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) cap on the rear of the instrument, in case you have
to return the instrument to ILX Lightwave. Shipping damage is not covered under
the standard instrument warranty.

Grounding Requirements

The LDT-5900 Series Temperature Controller comes with a three-conductor AC
power cable. The power cable must be plugged into an approved three-contact
electrical outlet or used with a three-contact to two-contact adaptor with the
grounding wire connected to an electrical ground (safety ground). ILX Lightwave
recommends connecting the instrument only to properly earth-grounded
receptacles. The power cord connector and power cable meet IEC safety
standards.

AC Line Power Requirements

This instrument operates from a single-phase power source delivering line
voltages of 100-240 VAC (all values RMS), from 50-60 Hz.

Tilt-Foot Adjustment

The LDT-5900 Series comes standard with folding front legs and two rear feet for
use as a benchtop instrument. Extend the front legs to tilt the front panel upward,
making it easier to read the display.

Rack Mounting

The LDT-5900 Series Temperature Controllers conform to international standards
for a 2U height 1/2 width rack mounting. Rack mount accessory kits contain
detailed mounting instructions.
