4.1.3. Full duplex mounting
The standard mounting for full-duplex operation is possible for surrounding temperatures 60°C
(see
Table 9.1, “Technical parameters”
), but it is recommended to use external passive cooler (e.g.
installation in RipEX2-RS chassis) or keep the surrounding temperature 35°C for increasing
of a long term reliability .
When full duplex mode with high power is used in temperatures above +45°C it is recommended to
use an external source of time pulse or the internal GPS. This will increase the frequency stability of
the radio.
4.1.4. IP52 mounting
RipEX2 unit provides IP41 level of environmental protection. It is possible to reach higher level of pro-
tection IP52 (Limited dust ingress protection and protection from water spray < 15 degrees from vertical).
To obtain
IP5x protection
: plug in all connectors and cover unused ports (COM port does not need to
be covered) with dust covers from the
.
Fig. 4.8: IP5x protection
