WaveBook Fan
The internal components of WaveBook/512A, /516, /516A, and /516E are air-cooled. Cooling
to ambient occurs as long as the surrounding environment is cooler than the unit. When the
unit becomes too warm for ambient cooling, a temperature sensor signals the fan to run.
Fan speed varies according to the WaveBook’s internal temperature. In cooler temperatures
the fan operates at lower speeds, thus reducing audible noise.
To allow for sufficient cooling, it is important to keep the fan and vents free of obstruction.
Note: The partial blocking of vents by fastener panels, when the units are stacked, does not
jeopardize unit cooling.
