Installation
Introduction This chapter provides information to install the Agilent E1326B
multimeter, including initial inspection, preparation for use,
environment, storage and shipment.
Initial
Inspection
Inspect the shipping container for damage. If the shipping container or
cushioning material is damaged, keep the container until the shipment
contents have been checked and the instrument has been checked
mechanically and electrically. See Chapter 1 (Figure 1-1) for shipment
contents. See Chapter 4 for procedures to check electrical performance.
WARNING
To avoid possible hazardous electrical shock, do not perform
electrical tests if there are signs of shipping damage to any
portion of the outer enclosure (covers, panels, etc.).
If the contents are incomplete, if there is mechanical damage or defect,
or if the instrument does not pass the electrical performance tests, notify
your nearest Agilent Technologies Sales and Service Office. If the
shipping container is damaged or the cushioning material shows signs of
stress, notify the carrier as well as Agilent, and keep the shipping
materials for the carrier’s inspection.
