1Introduction
LXI Class-C Compliant Power Meter
The N1913/1914A EPM Series power meter is a LXI Class C
compliant instrument, developed using LXI Technology. LXI,
an acronym for LAN eXtension for Instrumentation, is an
instrument standard for devices that use the Ethernet (LAN)
as their primary communication interface.
Hence, it is an easy-to-use instrument especially with the usage of an integrated
Web browser that provides a convenient way to configure the instrument’s
functionality.
Rack Mounting
The N1913/1914A can be mounted in a standard 19-inch rack. Rack mount kits
are available as listed below. Support rails are also required for rack mounting.
These are normally supplied with the rack and are not included with the rack
mount options.
If you are installing an instrument on top of the N1913/1914A, ensure that the
instrument does not obstruct the ventilation holes at the top of the N1913/1914A.
If required, use a filler panel above the N1913/1914A to ensure adequate space
for air circulation.
