Operating Requirements

Place the instrument on a cart or bench. The instrument should rest on its bottom or rear feet. An optional
rack mounting kit is available. Observe the following clearance requirements and dimensions:
Top: 0 in (0 mm)
Left and right side: 3 in (76 mm)
Bottom: 0 in (0 mm) standing on feet, flip stands down
Rear: 0 in (0 mm) on rear feet
Width: 15.5 inches (394 mm)
Height: 8.7 inches (220 mm)
Before operating the instrument, verify the ambient temperature: +10° C to +40 °C (+41 °F to +113 °F)

Preventing ESD

A direct electrostatic discharge can damage the instrument input. To learn how to avoid this
damage, read the following information.
CAUTION
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a concern when handling any electronic equipment. The instrument is designed
with robust ESD protection; however it is still possible that large discharges of static electricity directly into the
signal input may damage the instrument. To avoid damage to the instrument, use the following techniques to
prevent electrostatic discharge to the instrument.
1. Discharge the static voltage from your body by wearing a grounded antistatic wrist strap while
connecting and disconnecting cables and adapters. The instrument provides a front panel connection
for this purpose.
2. A cable that is left unconnected on a bench can develop a large static charge. Discharge the static
voltage from all cables before connecting them to the instrument or device under test by momentarily
grounding the center conductor of the cable, or by connecting a 50 Ω termination to one end, prior to
attaching the cable to the instrument.
