• Make sure all connections are behind a locked cabinet
door or other barrier. This protects the system operator
from accidentally removing a connection by hand and
exposing hazardous voltages. Use high-reliability fail-safe
interlock switches to disconnect power sources when a
test xture cover is opened.
• Where possible, use automatic handlers so operators
are not required to access the DUT or other potentially
hazardous areas.
• Provide training to all users of the system so they
understand all potential hazards and know how to protect
themselves from injury.
• In many systems, during power up, the outputs may be in
an unknown state until they are properly initialized. Make
sure the design can tolerate this situation without causing
operator injury or hardware damage.
Install the instrument
You can use the Series 2280 on a bench or in a rack. See
the instructions that came with your rack-mount kit if you are
installing the Series 2280 in a rack.
To prevent damaging heat build-up and to ensure specied
performance, make sure there is adequate ventilation and air
ow around the instrument to ensure proper cooling. Do not
cover the ventilation holes on the top, sides, or bottom of the
instrument.
Make sure the instrument is positioned so that it is easy to
reach any disconnecting devices, such as the power cord
and the power switch.
To keep users safe, always read and follow all safety warnings
provided with each of the instruments in your system.
On some sensitive or easily damaged devices under
test (DUTs), the instrument power-up and power down
sequences can apply transient signals to the DUT that
may aect or damage it. When testing this type of DUT,
do not make nal connections to it until the instrument
has completed its power-up sequence and is in a known
operating state.
