Installation
Location
CAUTION
The load is designed for operation in a horizontal plane
only, with mounting brackets down. Do not operate in
any other position.
Install the Termaline Load Resistor in a location that:
1. Has sufficient room to provide at least twelve
inches (304.8 mm) of free space around and
above the unit.
2. Is the shortest possible distance, or cable length
from the transmitting equipment.
3. Ensures the operation of the load in a horizontal
position only, with the handle on top.
Mounting
The load may be used for portable operation or for fixed
installation, that is, it may stand free or may be secured
to a bench or any convenient flat surface. The front and
rear fins are made of heavier gauge material bent out-
ward 90 degrees to form mounting flanges. At each cor-
ner of these flanges is a rubber bumper foot attached
with an acorn nut. To fasten the load by means of its
base mounting flanges:
1. Remove the four rubber bumpers
2. Fasten the load with four screws. Put one screw
in each of the four 9/32 inch holes.
Note: Use screws up to 1/4 inch diameter.
The holes are arranged in a 5-1/8 x 12-17/32 inch rectan-
gle (130.2 x 318.3 mm).
