Installation
Installation, mounting and information on making electrical connections to the amplifier
can be found in this section.
Mechanical Mounting
The amplifier is fitted with a series of mounting holes along two surfaces. These holes
make it possible to mount the amplifier to a surface in two different configurations.
Appendix A shows details of the heatsink of the amplifier. The user can use this drawing as
a reference when constructing enclosures or fixtures for the amplifier.
Proper mounting of the amplifier will also help cooling and prolong the service life of the
amplifier. A cooler amplifier runs better, and will perform better over the long term. The
surface that the amplifier is mounted to can aid in the cooling of the amplifier.
Care should be taken to ensure that the amplifier is not exposed to excessive moisture or
used in areas were metal debris may come into contact with the amplifier. In these
situations, a proper enclosure must be used to prevent the amplifier from being damaged,
and to reduce the risk of electrical shock.
