2.1 UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
This instrument has been thoroughly inspected and tested prior to packing and is ready for
operation. After careful unpacking, inspect for shipping damage before attempting to operate.

found, file an immediate claim with the responsible transport service.
The MAT 1/3 rack module may be received in either of two ways; with a special transport cover
or in a RA 50 or RA 51 housing. Below are the procedures necessary to remove the MAT power
module from its housing or transport cover
a. For the MAT 1/3 rack power module in a transport cover, there are ten screws (self tap-
ping countersunk Flat Head Phillips size no. 6-32 x 3/8, Kepco P/N 101-0344) located
at each side of the transport cover. These screws must be removed and saved with the
cover for later transport use.

modules must be removed before installing the rack adapter in a rack.

slotted captive thumb screws on the front panel, then remove and save the six Flat
Head Phillips screws from the base of the housing. Slide the power module out of the
housing and set the Control Bus Address (see PAR. 3.5). Slide the power module back
into the housing and fasten the two slotted captive thumb screws It is not advisable to

2.2 TRANSPORT INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
THE MAT POWER MODULE SHOULD BE SHIPPED ONLY IN THE RACK
ADAPTER OR IN A TRANSPORT COVER. FAILURE TO PROPERLY
SECURE THE MAT POWER MODULE BEFORE SHIPPING WILL RESULT
IN SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE EQUIPMENT AND VOID THE WARRANTY.
The MAT Power Module is a relatively heavy piece of equipment, particularly due to the main
Power Transformer, chassis frame and electrolytic capacitors. This means that the unit when
shipped, must be properly fastened in a transport cover, rack adapter or by other means; other-
wise the Power Module may buckle at the center of gravity of the chassis due of its weight.
To transport the MAT Power Module in the transport cover (supplied with the unit) secure the
power module with 6-32 steel round head phillips screws (see Table 2-1).
To transport the MAT Power Module in the Rack Adapter RA 50/ RA 51, secure each Power
Module with Flat Head Phillips screws (self tapping countersunk Flat Head Phillips size no.
8-5/8, Kepco P/N 101-0421), six for 1/3 rack models and eight for 2/3 rack models.
