Placing or Mounting the Instrument
The R&S SMA is designed for use under laboratory conditions, either on a bench top or in a rack using a rack adapter kit (order number see data sheet).
If the R&S SMA is operated on a bench top, the surface should be flat. The instrument can be used in horizontal position, standing on its feet, or with the support feet on the bottom extended.

The feet may fold in if they are not folded out completely or if the instrument is shifted. This may cause damage or injury.
- Fold the feet completely in or completely out to ensure stability of the instrument. Never shift the instrument when the feet are folded out.
- When the feet are folded out, do not work under the instrument or place anything underneath.
- The feet can break if they are overloaded. The overall load on the folded-out feet must not exceed 500 N.

A stack of instruments may tilt over and cause injury. Furthermore, the instruments at the bottom of the stack may 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 with the same dimensions (width and length). If you need to stack more than three instruments, install them in a rack.
- The overall load imposed on the lowest instrument must not exceed 500 N.
- All instruments should have the same dimensions (width and length).
If you need to stack smaller instruments on the top, the overall load imposed on the lowest instrument must not exceed 250 N. - If the instruments have foldable feet, fold them in completely.

The R&S SMA can be installed in a rack using a rack adapter kit (Order No. see data sheet). The installation instructions are part of the adapter kit.
