Mechanical Installation

All qualification testing was performed with a Tektronix
1700F00 cabinet installed. To guarantee compliance with
specifications, the instrument should be operated in a cabinet
or rackmount adapter. The Tektronix 1700F00, 1700F02,
and 1700F05 provide the proper electrical environment for
the instrument, supply adequate shielding, minimize handling
damage, and reduce dust collection within the instrument.

Cabinets

WARNING

Do not lift a cabinetized instrument without instal-
ling the mounting screws. There is nothing to hold
the instrument in the cabinet if it is tipped forward.

The 1700F00 is a plain cabinet designed for permanent
installations, and the 1700F02 is a portable cabinet with
handle, feet, flipstand, and front cover. Ordering information
is given on page 1-8.

Custom Installation

For applications such as consoles, the instrument can be
mounted with front molding flush or protruding from the
console. In both cases, allow approximately three inches of
rear clearance for

BNC

and power-cord connections. To

mount the instrument safely, attach it to a shelf strong
enough to hold its weight, using the four 0.156-inch diameter
holes in the bottom of the 1700F00 cabinet. Refer to the data
sheet included with the cabinet for hole locations.
