Initial Inspection
Inspect the shipping container and cushioning materials for damage. If there
is damage, keep the container until you have checked the contents for
completeness.
If shipping materials are damaged, complete the performance tests outlined
in the HP 8510C On-Site Service Manual. If the test set fails the
performance tests, or is damaged or defective, keep the shipping materials.
Notify both the carrier and the nearest Hewlett-Packard Sales and Service
Office (listed in "Service and Support" at the front of this manual).
The office can arrange for repair or replacement of the test set without
waiting for the claim settlement.
For the HP 8517B to operate within specifications, the ambient temperature
must remain between 0 C and +55 C. Keep relative humidity to less than
95% (at 40 C dry bulb temperature, maximum). The instrument can be
operated at altitudes up to 4,500 meters (15,000 feet).
Acceptable storage temperatures range from –40 C to +75 C, with relative
humidity 90% at +65 C (maximum dry bulb temperature) and at altitudes
up to 15,240 meters (50,000 feet).
