Setting Up the Instrument
The R&S NGA100 is designed for benchtop and rackmount.
3.4.1
Bench Operation
On a benchtop, the R&S NGA100 can either lie flat or stand on its feet. The feet
on the bottom can be folded out to set the instrument in an inclined position.
Positioning of instrument
The instrument must be positioned in a manner that allows the user to dis-
connect the unit from the mains at any time and without restrictions.
3.4.2
Rack Mounting
The instrument can be installed in a 19" rack using the rack adapter R&S HZN96
(P/N 3638.7813.02). Proceed according to the installation instructions supplied
with the rack adapter.
Ambient temperature
Operate R&S NGA100 power supply in an area where the ambient temper-
ature is 5 °C to +40 °C. The R&S NGA100 power supply is fan-
cooled and must be installed with sufficient space along the sides to allow
proper air circulation. Ensure that fan openings are unobstructed and air-
flow vents are unimpeded.
Operating the instrument with insufficient airflow or outside the allowable
ambient temperature can disrupt the operation and even cause damage.
