SPG600 & SPG300 Sync Pulse Generators User Manual
Before you install the instrument, refer to the General Safety Summary section at
the front of this manual for power source, grounding, and other safety information.
WARNING.
Do not use the rack handles to carry the SPG600. The rack handles are
not designed for this purpose, and property damage or injury may result.
You can install the sync pulse generator into an equipment rack if you ordered
Option 1R. For information on how to install the sync pulse generator into the rack,
refer to Appendix D: Rackmounting the Instrument (Option 1R Only).
Verify that the location of your installation has the proper operating environment.
CAUTION.
Damage to the instrument can occur if this instrument is powered on at
temperatures outside of the specified temperature range.
The sync pulse generator operates correctly in ambient temperatures from 0 °C to
+40 °C and relative humidity from 20% to 80%. For complete operating
environment information, refer to Appendix A: Specifications.
The sync pulse generator requires 2 inches (5 cm) of side clearance for counter top
use. Also, ensure sufficient rear clearance (approximately 3 inches) so that cables
are not damaged.
The sync pulse generator operates from a single-phase power source with the
neutral conductor at or near earth ground. The line conductor is fused for
over-current protection. A protective ground connection through the grounding
conductor in the power cord is essential for safe operation.
CAUTION.
The instrument does not have a power switch. When you connect the
power cable to the AC line connector, the instrument powers on.
