R&S®HMP Series Preparing for Use Putting into Operation 4 Preparing for Use 4.1 Putting into Operation This section describes the basic steps to be taken when setting up the R&S HMP for the first time. 4.1.1 Safety This instrument is built in compliance with DIN EN 61010-1 (VDE 0411 part 1), safety regulations for electrical measuring instruments, control units and Laboratory equipment. It has been tested and shipped from the plant in safe condition.
R&S®HMP Series Preparing for Use Putting into Operation Risk of injury due to disregarding safety information Observe the information on appropriate operating conditions provided in the data sheet to prevent personal injury or damage to the instrument. Read and observe the basic safety instructions provided with the instrument, in addition to the safety instructions in the following sections. In particular: ● Do not open the instrument casing.
R&S®HMP Series Preparing for Use Putting into Operation Risk of instrument damage during operation An unsuitable operating site or test setup can damage the instrument and connected devices. Ensure the following operating conditions before you switch on the instrument: ● Make sure that the nominal voltage setting on the product matches the nominal voltage of the AC supply network. If you have a different line voltage, it can be necessary that you have to change the power fuse of the product.
R&S®HMP Series Preparing for Use Putting into Operation ● Before each measurement, check the instrument for proper operation using a known signal source or sample. ● Signal levels at the input connectors are all within the specified ranges. ● Signal outputs are correctly connected and are not overloaded. If it is assumed that a safe operation is no longer possible, the instrument must be shut down and secured against any unintended operation.
R&S®HMP Series Preparing for Use Putting into Operation 4.1.2 Unpacking and Checking the Instrument To remove the instrument from its packaging and check the equipment for completeness, proceed as follows: ● Check the package for damage. ● Carefully unpack the instrument and the accessories. ● Check the package contents for completeness using the delivery list see (Chapter 4.1.3, "Delivery List", on page 13) and package contents.
R&S®HMP Series Preparing for Use Putting into Operation 4.1.4 Placing or Mounting the Instrument The R&S HMP is designed for use under both, industry and laboratory conditions, either on a bench top or in a rack. Bench Top Operation If the R&S HMP is operated on a bench top, the surface must be flat. You can place the instrument horizontally, or in a slope position by unfolding the front feet.
R&S®HMP Series Preparing for Use Putting into Operation Risk of injury when stacking instruments A stack of instruments can tilt over and cause injury if not stacked correctly. Furthermore, the instruments at the bottom of the stack can be damaged due to the load imposed by the instruments on top. Observe the following instructions when stacking instruments: ● Never stack more than three instruments. If you need to stack more than three instruments, install them in a rack.
R&S®HMP Series Preparing for Use Putting into Operation 2. Remove the feet. Tip: Save the feet with the screws if you want to operate the R&S HMP as bench top later. Risk of instrument damage due to insufficient airflow in a rack If the instrument is run with insufficient airflow for a longer period, the instrument overheats, which can disturb the operation or turn off the R&S HMP.
R&S®HMP Series Preparing for Use Putting into Operation The instrument must only be connected to an outlet that has a ground contact, according to the specifications for safety class EN 61010. Replacing the Fuses The instrument has main power fuses, which are located on the rear panel of the unit. Depending on the line voltage setting, the fuses of the correct type must be installed. Risk of electric shock The fuses are part of the main power supply.
R&S®HMP Series Preparing for Use Setting Up a Network (LAN) Connection 4. Exchange the fuses. 5. Note: The protruding contact springs must not be deformed, therefore: Align the fuse holder with the guide bar facing the socket. 6. Carefully slide the fuse holder against the spring pressure into the slot until both plastic locks latch. 4.1.
R&S®HMP Series Preparing for Use Setting Up a Network (LAN) Connection This section describes how to set up and configure the LAN interface. For remote control via the alternative interfaces, refer to the user manual of the R&S HMP. Risk of network failure Consult your network administrator before performing the following tasks: ● Connecting the instrument to the network ● Configuring the network ● Changing IP addresses ● Exchanging hardware Errors can affect the entire network.
R&S®HMP Series Preparing for Use Setting Up a Network (LAN) Connection To assign the IP address manually on the instrument To assign the IP address, first select the interface. In addition, check if DHCP is not active. Otherwise, you cannot edit the IP address. 1. To disable DHCP, perform the following steps: Tip: Skip these steps, if DHCP is not supported. a) b) c) d) Press the Menu key. Select "Interface > Interface Settings > Port Settings /DHCP". Select "DHCP: > OFF". Return with the left arrow key.
R&S®HMP Series Preparing for Use Setting Up a Network (LAN) Connection Checking the LAN connection To verify the connection, you can use the ping command. ► In the command prompt on the remote PC, enter ping When the connection is working, the command returns the reply from the instrument.
