2. Controller and Diversion Load Installation
Whisper 500 Controller and 4600 Diversion Load
The Whisper 500 Controller MUST be mounted vertically on a wall as shown below. Even though the
Whisper 500 Controller does not contain a diversion load, this mounting position is necessary to provide
adequate cooling for the electronics and rectifier heat sink.
The 4600 Diversion Load MUST be mounted against a wall to provide adequate heat transfer. The control-
ler must be mounted within 5 feet (1.5 meter) of the diversion load due to the precut wire length.
Do not mount the diversion load within 10 feet ( 3 meters) of flammable materials or near heat sensitive
components. Do not mount the controller above the diversion load since the heat from the diversion load
may overheat the controller.
