The HRE-712 is an airtight enclosure. The ambient environment traps heat generated by the installed cards and
causes a significant rise in temperature within the enclosure. The number of doublers or repeaters that can be
reliably housed in the HRE-712 is a function of each plug type, doubler version and solar exposure.
lists
the HRE-712 deployment rules.
•
Even if the deployment rules are followed, the metal surfaces of the installed cards can feel hot when removed
from an HRE-712 that is operating in elevated ambient temperatures. These conditions are normal for the
plugs operating under these circumstances.
•
When less than 12 slots are being used at initial start-up, assign the slots in the following sequence to reduce
the hot spot temperature.
In order to comply with the requirements in TA-NWT-001210 (maximum ambient temperature of 115°F (46°C)
with full solar load), the number of full T1 HDU-439 or HDU-437 doublers must be limited to ten per enclosure
without full solar load or eight with full solar load. The fractional doublers, HDU-219 and HDU-217, and the full
T1 microdoublers, HDU-409 and HDU-407, comply with the TA when all 12 slots are occupied with full solar
load. The thermal equivalence relationships are:
1 (HDU-437,439) = 1.5 (HDU-217, 219, 407, 409) = 2 (DSS or ISDN repeater) = 4 (239 T1 repeater)
