Installation Instructions
This section provides instructions for installing the SPG600 Sync Pulse
Generator into a standard 19-inch equipment rack.
Minimum Tool Equipment List
The following tools are required to install the rackmounting hardware into the
equipment rack. All tools are standard tools that are readily available.
Required tools and equipment Description
Screwdriver handle (magnetic) Accepts 1/4 inch hex-head driver tips
#2 Phillips tip Philllips-driver tip for M3 size screw heads
#2 Pozidriv tip Pozidriv-driver tip for #2 size screw heads
WARNING. To prevent the rackmounted instrument from tipping forward onto the
operator, install the instrument so that the operator will be able to access all of
its rear--panel connectors without pushing down on the instrument.
Verify that the rack does not become unstable with the instrument fully extended.
Do not leave the instrument extended when finished accessing the rear panel.

Installing the Inside Tracks
This procedure installs the inside tracks to the instrument.
NOTE. The inside tracks may already be installed on your instrument. If they are,
go to Rackmounting the Instrument on the next page.
1. Identify the right from the left inside track using Figure 1.
2. Align the four mounting holes on the right inside track to the four mounting
holes on the right side of the instrument.
3. Using a screw driver with a #2 Phillips tip, install the right inside track to the
right side of the instrument using four screws (M4 x 8).
4. Rotate the instrument to face the left side and repeat steps 2 and 3 to install
the left inside track.
Note button latch is located
near the top edge of track.
Note button latch is located
near the bottom edge of track.
Left inside track (mount on the
left side of the instrument.)
Right inside track (mount on the
right side of the instrument.)

Rackmounting the Instrument
This procedure describes how to assemble and install the slide-out tracks in the
equipment rack, and then how to install the instrument into the rack.
1. Identify the equipment rack right verses left slide-out track assemblies by
finding the date code label on each assembly. The equipment rack left-side
assembly has a date code that ends with “LH”, for left hand. The equipment
rack right-side assembly has a date code ending with “RH”.
2. Measure the distance between the front and rear rail of the equipment rack.
3. Align the rear bracket to the right slide-out track as shown in Figure 2. Note
that the rear bracket has multiple pairs of mount-through holes. When
aligning the bracket and track, be sure to select a pair of holes that mount the
rear bracket so that the flange-to-flange distance matches the front rail to rear
rail spacing of the rackmount rack just measured in step 2.
4. Using a screwdriver with a #2 pozidriv tip, secure the rear bracket to the
right slide-out track using two 10-32 screws and a bar nut. Leave the screws
loose so that you can adjust the overall length of the slide-out track assembly
in the rack.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 to assemble the left slide-out track assembly.

1. Select a 1/2 inch spaced hole in the front rail.
2. Select the mounting method according to your rack type:
HTo mount the slide-out tracks with their front and rear flanges outside of
the front and rear rails, use method A shown in Figure 3 when doing
step 3. Add a bar nut to the installation only if the rails have untapped
holes.
HTo mount with front and rear flanges inside of rack rails, use mounting
method B shown in Figure 3. This mounting method assumes untapped
holes.
3. Using the method and hardware determined from step 2, secure the right
slide-out track assembly to the equipment rack front and rear rails. The
screws should be fully, but lightly, seated so that you can adjust the rack
later.
4. Tighten the screws, applying 28 inch-lbs of torque, left loose in step 4 in
Assembling the Slide-out Tracks on page 7 to fix the front to rear flange
spacing of the slide-out track assembly.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 to mount the left slide-out track assembly.

SPG600 Sync Pulse Generator Rackmount Instructions
1. Working from the front of the rack, pull the inner track of each slide-out
track assembly until it extends out the front of the rack. Continue to pull
them out until they lock.
2. Insert the instrument left and right tracks into the ends of the rack tracks just
extended. Make sure to insert the instrument tracks inside of the inner rack
tracksextendedinstep1.
3. Push the instrument into the rack until it stops.
4. Push both stop latches, located on the outside of each track, and continue to
slide the instrument all the way into the rack.
5. Tighten the two screws that were left loose at the rear of the rack when you
didstep3inMounting the Slide-out Tracks on page 9, and then pull the
instrument part way out of the rack.
6. Be sure the two screws that were left loose at the front of the rack are loose
enough to allow the slide-out track assemblies to seek the appropriate
positions.
7. Retighten the two screws and push the instrument all the way into the rack.
If the tracks do not slide smoothly, readjust the rail assemblies using the
method just detailed.
8. When adjusting is completed, tighten all rail assembly 10-32 screws using
28 inch-lbs of torque.
9. Using a number two phillips screwdriver, install the 10-32 screw attached to
your rack in one of the two mounting holes at the right side of the front
panel. Repeat for the second mounting hole. Tighten both screws using
25 inch-lbs of torque.
10. Repeat step 9 to install the two screws in the left side of the front.
