5.7 Bench Use

When placing this instrument on a workbench or table, ensure the maximum weight rating of the
bench/table exceeds the actual weight of the unit.
Lorsque l´appareil est placé sur un banc de travail ou une table, s´assurer que la capacité de
charge maximale du banc / table dépasse le poids réel de l´appareil.
The ADF Series® chassis is not equipped with surface protection feet as it is intended
primarily for 19" rack mount use. When used on a bench, use care not to damage bench
surface by sliding ADF unit.

5.8 Rack Mounting

The ADF Series® chassis is designed to be rack mounted in a standard 19-inch rack for
system applications. Zero stacking with other units or test equipment is possible. The weight
of the unit MUST be supported properly. Either use rack slides or L brackets of sufficient
weight rating that are compatible with the dimensions of the cabinet used.
ADF Series® models with an output power rating above 15KVA are available as factory
installed 19" instrument cabinet systems including input and output wiring to connection
terminal blocks at the bottom rear of the cabinet.
Customers (i.e. System Integrators) preferring to install one or more ADF units in their own
cabinet systems can order Master and multiple Auxiliary parallel systems as a KIT with no
19" cabinet or wiring included.

5.9 Airflow

The ADF Series® of AC power sources are cooled by drawing in air through the front and out
at the back of each unit. Do not ADF units install in a manner that blocks the free flow of air
such as in a cabinet with a solid rear door. Allow a minimum of 6" (15 cm) free of
obstructions behind the unit to prevent overheating.
