Operating
Environment
AWG2005 Service Manual
This subsection describes how to prepare the AWG2005 Arbitrary Waveform
Generator for use. The information describes these items:
H
Proper operating environment
H
Checking power cord and line voltage configurations
H
Checking the fuse
H
Power on and power off cycles
To ensure proper AWG2005 operation and long life, note these environmen
tal requirements.
Operating Temperature
The AWG2005 operates in an environment with an ambient air temperature
between +10_ C and +40_ C. The AWG2005 storage temperature ranges
from -20_ C to +60_ C. After storage at temperatures outside the operating
limits, allow the AWG2005 chassis to stabilize at a safe operating tempera
ture before applying power.
Ventilation Requirements
Air drawn in and exhausted through the cabinet side and bottom panels
cools AWG2005 internal circuits. To ensure proper cooling, allow the follow
ing clearances:
Top and back
Left and right
The feet on the bottom of the AWG2005 cabinet provide the required clear
ance when it is set on a flat surface. The top of the AWG2005 does not
require ventilation clearance.
To prevent temporary shutdown of the AWG2005, do not restrict air
flow through the chassis. If the AWG2005 shuts down unexpectedly,
improve ventilation around the AWG2005 and wait a few minutes to
allow it to cool down; then switch the power on again.
