Mounting the cold plate vertically
For applications that require a vertical cold plate, you can use the MB-286 base
with the MR-1.50 riser to mount the
286
on its side. Set the
286
upside down,
setting it on a soft cotton cloth to prevent scratching of the cold plate. There are
two ¼”-20 mounting holes on the bottom of the fixture. Align the MR-1.50 riser to
these two mounting holes and gently set the MB-286 base on top of that, holing
it with one hand to stabilize it. Slide in one 2” ¼-20 bolt and turn a few times to
get the threads started. Side in and start the second bolt, and then tighten both
bolts.

Mounting to an integrating sphere or other assembly
In the case of mounting to another piece of equipment such as an integrating
sphere, the
286
features a number of mounting holes on the front, rear, top, and
bottom surfaces of the fixture. See the drawings in the
Mechanical Drawings
section below for more details on the size and location of the mounting holes.
Fan and Airflow
The
286
uses a high volume fan for cooling of the heat sink. For full
performance, you must place the sides and bottom of the
286
at least
2” away
from any other surface, or airflow will be constricted.
If you are using an Arroyo Instruments
TECSource
temperature controller, the
fan can be powered directly from the
TECSource
. You will need to enable the
