Risk of instrument damage due to insufficient airflow in a rack
If the instrument is run with insufficient airflow for a longer period, the instru-
ment overheats, which can disturb the operation and even cause damage.
Make sure that all fan openings are unobstructed, that the airflow perfora-
tions are unimpeded, and that the minimum distance from the wall is 10 cm.
Portable operation
An optional carrying bag designed specifically for the R&S FPL1000 allows you to
protect the instrument while working in the field. The bag includes ventilation
areas at the position of the ventilation outlets in the casing to ensure air circula-
tion. The transparent cover allows you to operate the instrument without removing
it from the bag. With the help of the optional vest holster you can carry the
R&S FPL1000 in its bag and keep your hands free. Together with the optional
battery pack (see Chapter 3.1.7, "Connecting an Optional Battery Pack
(R&S FPL1-B31)", on page 17), and packed in the dedicated carrying bag, the
R&S FPL1000 is ideally suited for operation directly in the field, even in rough
environments.
For details on optional accessories see the R&S FPL1000 data sheet.
