Mechanical properties

Dimensions and Mass
Dimensions: 382mm Wide x 341mm Deep x 77mm high
This excludes the connectors to the rear and 60mm should be allowed for connections to the
amplifier at the rear.
The height excludes the feet (depending on which feet are fitted) the standard rubber feet add
another 3mm to the height of the enclosure. There will always be an air gap under the amplifier to
allow air to circulate through the unit.
The Height also excludes the valves which depends on the configuration used; regardless of which
valves are fitted, it is recommended that at least 300mm be allowed above the top surface of the
amplifier for heat dissipation; see section 2.2.
The mass of the assembled unit is: 7.75kg ±0.25kg.
According to HSE guidelines for Manual Handling, this is less than the maximum recommended
mass for a one-person lift. The unit has no moving parts that can cause injury or trap fingers as
such the SAM-A1 amplifier does not fall under the remit of the Mechanical Directive for CE
marking.
The mass of the unit is sufficient that the unit may cause injury and may suffer damage if it is
dropped e.g. on to a hand or foot. Care is to be taken when lifting or moving the unit to avoid
dropping it.
Structural integrity
The unit should never be moved while the unit is connected to anything. Due to the mass of the
components inside the unit, the unit will survive a 25mm drop test and remain safe but may
become aesthetically damaged.
