SECTION II
INSTALLATION
2-1. INSPECTION.
2-2. This instrument was carefully inspected both
mechanically and electrically before shipment. It should be
physically free of mars or scratches and in perfect electrical
order upon receipt. To confirm this, the instrument should
be inspected for physical damage in transit. Also, check for
supplied accessories, and test the electrical performance of
the instrument using the procedure outlined in Section V of
this manual. If there is damage or deficiency, see the
warranty on Page ii of this manual.
2-3. POWER REQUIREMENTS.
2-4. This instrument will operate from either 115 or
230 Vac, 48 Hz to 440 Hz. The instrument can easily be
converted from 115 volt to 230 volt operation by changing
the position of the slide switch located on the rear panel, so
that the designation appearing on the switch matches the
nominal voltage of the power source.
2-5. GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS.
2-6. To protect operating personnel, the National Electrical
Manufacturers' Association (NEMA) recommends that the
instrument panel and cabinet be grounded. All
Hewlett-Packard instruments are equipped with a
three-conductor power cord which, when plugged into an
appropriate receptacle, grounds the instrument. The offset
pin on the power cord three-prong connector is the ground
wire.
2-7. To preserve the protection feature when operating the
instrument from a two-contact outlet, use a three-prong to
two-prong adapter and connect the green pigtail on the
adapter to ground.
2-8. INSTALLATION.
2-9. This instrument is fully transistorized; therefore no
special cooling is required. However, the instrument should
not be operated where the ambient temperature is outside
the limits specified in Table 1-2.
2-10. RACK/BENCH INSTALLATION.
2-11. This instrument is initially shipped as a bench-type
instrument (unless ordered specifically as a rack-type) with
plastic feet and tilt stand in place. Conversion to a
rack-mounted instrument can be accomplished by using the
rack-mounting kit and instructions furnished with your
instrument.
2-12. REPACKAGING FOR SHIPMENT.

shipment. If you have any question, contact your local -hp-
