General
information
The operator should not neglect to carefully read the following
instructions and those of the mainframe HM8001 , to avoid any
operating errors and to be fully acquainted with the module
when
later in use.
After unpacking the module, check for any mechanical damage
or loose parts inside.
Should there be any transportation
age. inform the supplier immediately and do not put the module
into operation.
This plug-in module is primarily intented for use in conjunction
with the Mainframe HM8001. When incorporating it into other
systems. the module should only be operated with the specified
supply voltages.
Safety
Every module is manufactured and tested for use only with the
mainframe HM 8001 according to IEC 348 Part 1 and la (Safety
requirements for electronic test and measurement equipment).
All case and chassis parts are connected to the safety earth con-
ductor. Corresponding to Safety Class 1 regulations (three-con-
ductor AC power cable). Without an isolating transformer, the
instrument's
power cable must be plugged into an approved
three-contact

After removal of the two screws
chassis covers can be lifted. When reclosing the module, care
should be taken that the guides engage correctly with the front
chassis.
Operation
of the module
Provided that all hints given in the operating instructions of the
I-NM 8001 Mainframe were followed —especially for the selec-
tion of the correct mains voltage —start of operation consists
practically of inserting the module into the right or left opening
of the
mainframe.

Before being locked in place, the cabinet Of the instrument is not
connected to the protective earth terminal (bananaplug above

must be applied to the input terminals of the module.
Generally,the HM 8001 set must be turned on and in full operat-
ing condition, before applying any test signal. If a failure of the

is detected, no further measurements
should be performed. Before switching off the unit or exchang-
