How to remove a handle cover
Note
• When rack-mounting the instrument, allow at least 5cm of space around the top panel outlet holes to
prevent internal heating. Allow at least 20 cm around the rear panel inlet holes.
• Make sure to provide adequate support from the bottom of the instrument. The support should not block
the inlet and outlet holes.
• Store the removed parts in a safe place.
• When rack-mounting the instrument, remove the feet from the rear of the instrument if they are coming
into contact with the rack and are thus preventing you from rack-mounting the instrument. After you have
rack-mounted the instrument, re-attach the feet to the rear of the instrument.
• Dials and current terminals protrude further out than the front panel position. Make sure you do not hit
them against the rack when mounting the instrument.
Do Not Install the Instrument in the Following Kinds of Places
• In direct sunlight or near heat sources
• In an environment with excessive amounts of soot, steam, dust, or corrosive gas
• Near strong magnetic field sources
• Near high-voltage equipment or power lines
• In an environment that is subject to large levels of mechanical vibration
• On an unstable surface
• Outdoors or in locations subject to rain or water
