Mounting and Cooling
The Gate Amplifier is an open type construction and is intended to be installed
on a flat surface in a suitable enclosure. The unit must be mounted in the upright
position (faceplate lettering legible and the mounting back plate vertical) to
ensure effective convection cooling.
Follow these instructions when mounting the Gate Amplifier:
• Mount in a clean, dry location. Contamination from oils, corrosive vapors
and abrasive debris must be kept out of the enclosure.
• Do not mount heat-generating equipment directly underneath the unit.
• Mount the unit in a vertical position only.
• Power dissipation, 50 Watts.
