Installation and Set-Up

Unpack the Shipment and Inspect the Contents

Each 2818A is put through a series of electrical and mechanical inspections before shipment to
the customer.
1. Upon receipt of your instrument unpack all the items from the shipping carton.
2. Inspect for damage that may have occurred during transit. Report any damaged items to AE
and the shipping agent. Retain and use the original packing material for reshipment if
necessary.
3. Inspect the carton for the following items:

Recommended Installation Environment

Normal calibration laboratory practice dictates the environment should be closely controlled. This
minimizes errors introduced by temperature and humidity changes. A nominal temperature of
+23ºC (+73.4ºF) provides good working conditions. A tolerance of ±1ºC gives an ideal
temperature spread. Controlled temperatures also stabilize the aging process of the standard.
CAUTION:
The 2818A has a specified operating temperature range of +15°to +30°C (+59°to
+86°F). Operating beyond these limits can affect the accuracy of the instruments and
damage internal circuitry.
