Installation / Setup
The setup of the HM8001-2 mainframe involves several key considerations:
1. Wiring: Data and signal connections must use adequately shielded cables. Data cables should not exceed 3 meters in length and must remain indoors. Signal cables should also be as short as possible and use shielded coaxial cables (RG58/U). For signal generators, double-shielded coaxial cables (RG223/U, RG214/U) are required.
2. Clearances: When stacking the HM8001-2 with other devices, ensure precise alignment using the supplied foot holders. The foot holders should be attached with the provided double-sided tape, and their pegs must fit into the ventilation holes of the device below to prevent slipping.
3. Calibration: No specific calibration instructions are provided.
4. Prerequisites: After unpacking, inspect the device for mechanical damage or loose parts. In case of transport damage, contact the supplier and do not operate the device.
5. Environmental Conditions: The device should be operated within a temperature range of +9°C to +40°C and stored between -20°C and +70°C, with a relative humidity of 5% to 80% without condensation.
6. Electrical Requirements: The device operates at a voltage of 115/230V with a frequency of 50-60 Hz and a maximum power consumption of 110 watts. It is equipped with a power switch located between the two modules on the front panel.

Safety & Warnings
The manual provides the following safety warnings and precautions:
1. Data Connections: The connection of measuring devices or their interfaces with external devices (printers, computers, etc.) should only be made with adequately shielded cables. Unless a shorter maximum cable length is specified in the manual, data cables (input/output, signal/control) should not exceed a length of 3 meters and should not be outside of buildings. If multiple interface cables can be connected to a device interface, only one should be connected at a time. Double-shielded connection cables should generally be used for data cables. The double-shielded cable HZ72 from HAMEG is suitable as an IEEE-Bus cable.
2. Signal Connections: Measuring cables for signal transmission between the measuring point and the measuring device should generally be kept as short as possible. If no shorter length is prescribed, signal cables (input/output, signal/control) should not exceed a length of 3 meters and should not be outside of buildings. All signal cables should fundamentally be used as shielded cables (coaxial cable – RG58/U). For signal generators, double-shielded coaxial cables (RG223/U, RG214/U) must be used.
3. Impact on Devices: In the presence of strong high-frequency electrical or magnetic fields, despite careful measurement setup, unwanted signal components may be introduced into the device through the connected cables and lines. This does not lead to destruction or shutdown of HAMEG devices. However, slight deviations of the display and measurement values beyond the specified specifications may occur in individual cases due to external circumstances.
