Assembly, location, and mounting requirements Series 2600A Customer Documentation UL Safety Supplement The Series 2600A System SourceMeter instruments can be mounted in a standard 19-inch rack (horizontal mountings only; mounting vertically may impede the cooling mechanisms). When rack mounting the Series 2600A, make sure there is adequate airflow around at least one side to ensure proper cooling. Adequate airflow enables air temperatures within approximately one inch of the Series 2600A surfaces to remain within specified limits under all operating conditions. The cooling specifications state: Forced air Side intake, rear exhaust One side must be unobstructed when rack mounted 7. Supply connection and grounding requirements Before operating an instrument, ensure that the line cord is connected to a properly grounded, appropriately rated power receptacle. Inspect the connecting cables, test leads, and jumpers for possible wear, cracks, or breaks before each use. When installing equipment where access to the main power cord is restricted, such as rack mounting, a separate main input power disconnect device must be provided in close proximity to the equipment and within easy reach of the operator. 8. Ventilation requirements To prevent damaging heat build-up and ensure specified performance, observe to the following precautions: The rear exhaust vent and at least one side vent must be kept free of any obstructions. Even partial blockage could impair proper cooling. DO NOT position any devices adjacent to the Series 2600A that force air (heated or unheated) into or onto its cooling vents or surfaces. This additional airflow could compromise accuracy performance. When rack mounting the Series 2600A, make sure there is adequate airflow around at least one side to ensure proper cooling. Adequate airflow enables air temperatures within approximately one inch of the Series 2600A surfaces to remain within specified limits under all operating conditions. DO NOT rack-mount high power-dissipation equipment adjacent to the Series 2600A that could cause excessive heating to occur. The specified ambient temperature must be maintained around the surfaces of the Series 2600A to maintain specified accuracies. 9. Environmental conditions To maintain safety, the following environmental conditions should be maintained: For indoor use only Altitude up to 2000 m Temperature 0 C to 40 C (32 F to 104 F) Maximum relative humidity 80 percent for temperatures up to 31 C (88 F), decreasing linearly to 50 percent relative humidity at 40 C (104 F) Mains supply voltage fluctuations not to exceed ±10 percent of the nominal voltage Transient overvoltages according to INSTALLATION CATEGORIES (OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORIES) I, II, and III (see Annex J); for mains supply, the minimum and normal category is category II Pollution degree: 1 or 2 To maintain accuracy the following, additional environmental conditions should be maintained: An ambient temperature of 18 C to 28 C (65 F to 82 F) A relative humidity of less than 70 percent unless otherwise noted The instrument may be operated at up to 50 C (122 F) where the power output is derated by one watt per channel for each degree Celsius above 30 C (86 F), and at up to 70 percent relative humidity. Terminals shall not be used for measurements within the measurement categories CAT II, CAT III, and CAT IV. Input PA-1016 Rev. B / October

4 measurement terminals shall also be protected from drawing more than then maximum rated current when connecting to an external source. 10.
