2-2 Elgar TrueWave
2.4 INSTALLATION
The TrueWave unit is 8.75" (222 mm) high and designed to be installed in a standard
19" (483 mm) RETMA rack or a transit case; pem-nuts are provided for mounting
optional slides.
CAUTION! Avoid blocking the instrument air
intakes or exhaust.
2.5 AIR INTAKE AND EXHAUST
The air intakes are located on the front, top, and side panels of the instrument; the
exhaust is through the rear panel. No special vertical separation is required when
stacking instruments. The temperature of the intake air should not exceed 113°F
(45°C).
At full power, the unit dissipates over 2250W with the PFC option. It is important that
the heat produced is properly vented to the exterior of the chassis. Special baffling to
control air flow may be required to prevent hot exhaust air being drawn into the intakes
if the unit is to be run continuously at full power.
The preferred mounting method for full power operation is bottom mounting. Slide
mounting may impair airflow from the side air intakes. If slides must be used, select
narrow slides to minimize restrictions to airflow and select cabinets without wide rails
that can block airflow. Refer to Table 2-1 for the recommended slides and Figure 2-2
for the mounting location.
