Operating Instructions

This chapter provides information for on-site requirements,

unpacking, inspection, and preparing the equipment for use.

Site and

Shelter

Requirements

The Model 8329-300 Attenuator should be operated in a dry,

dust, and vibration free environment. The ambient tempera-

ture range should remain between -40°C and +45°C (-40°F

and +113°F) for proper operation. Allow at least 12"

(300mm) of clearance around the unit, 6" (150mm) if it is

equipped with a blower, to permit unimpeded access of con-

vection air currents for adequate heat dissipation. To permit

the shortest possible cable length, place the attenuator as

close as possible to the transmitting equipment.
