2-1. INTRODUCTION
2-2. This section provides installation instruc­
tions for the HP 8340A Synthesized Sweeper. This
section also includes information about initial
inspection, damage claims, preparation for use,
packaging, storage and shipment, and Operation
Verification.

INITIAL INSPECTION

Inspect shipping container for damage. If
2-4.
the shipping container or cushioning material is
damaged, it should be kept until the contents of the
shipment have been checked for completeness and
the instrument has been checked mechanically
and electrically. The contents of the shipment
should be as shown in Figure 1-1. Procedures for
checking electrical performance are given in Sec­
tion IV, Performance Tests, in this volume. Per­
formance Test limits are also given in Section IV
of this volume. If the instrument combination
does not pass the electrical Performance Tests,
refer to Section V, Adjustments, in Volume 2. If,
after the adjustments have been made, the instru­
ment combination still fails to meet specifications,
and a circuit malfunction is suspected, refer to
troubleshooting procedures in Section VIII, Ser­
vice, in Volumes 3 and 4. If the instrument does
not pass the above electrical tests, if the shipment
contents are incomplete, or if there is mechanical
damage or defect, notify the nearest Hewlett-Pack­
ard office. If the shipping container is damaged,-or
if the cushioning material shows signs of stress,
notify the carrier as well as the Hewlett-Packard
office. Keep the shipping materials for carrier's
inspection. The HP office will arrange for repair or
replacement without waiting for claim settlement.

Power Requirements

2- 7. The HP 8 340A Synthesized Sweeper
requires a power source of 100, 120, 220, or 240

Line Voltage and Fuse Selection

To prevent damage to the instrument,
make the correct line voltage and fuse
selection before connecting line
power to the instrument.
2-9. Figure 2-1 illustrates the line voltage selec­
tion cam and fuse location in the power line mod­
ule on the rear panel of the HP 8340A. Select the
line voltage and fuse rating as follows:
a. Measure the ac line voltage available.
b. Refer to Table 2-1. Remove the line voltage
selection cam from the line module. Select the
correct position of the cam (shown in Figure
2-1) by matching the measured ac line value to
the correct range indicated in the table. Note
that the line voltage ranges given arc within
10% of the nominal line voltage. If the avail­
±
able line voltage does not fall within this range,
you must use an autotransformer between the
power source and the HP 8340A to bring the
line voltage within tolerance.
c. Install the line voltage selector cam in the
power line module as shown in Figure 2-1.
d.
Select the proper fuse to install. The fuse rat­
ings are indicated in Table 2-1 as well as next to
the power line module on the rear panel of the
instrument.
