4. STARLPRO-1500 INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
4.1
INTRODUCTION
This chapter of the manual contains information regarding the installation and operation of the SpT Model
STARLPRO-1500. It is recommended to read this chapter carefully prior to operate the unit.
4.2
SHIPPING AND RECEIVING INFORMATION
The STARLPRO-1500 is packaged and shipped in a foam-lined box. The unit is inspected mechanically and
electrically prior to shipment. Upon receipt of the unit, a thorough inspection should be made to ensure that no
damage has occurred during shipping. If any damage is discovered, please contact
Orolia Switzerland SA / Spectratime
PHONE: +41 32 732 16 66
FAX: +41 32 732 16 67
CH-2000 NEUCHATEL / SWITZERLAND
Should it be necessary to ship the unit back, the original case and packing should be used. If the original case
is not available, a suitable container with foam-packing is recommended.
CAUTION
Care must be taken for the transportation of the STARLPRO-1500 to ensure that the maximum
acceleration due to a shocks 50g/ 11ms is not exceeded.
STARLPRO-1500 contains glass bulbs, crystal resonators and crystal filters.
When STARLPRO-1500 integrated into an instrument, such instrument shall be packed in a
suitable container, similar to containers generally use for the transportation of instruments like
scope, video display or computer.
4.3
MOUNTING
The unit should be mounted in preference to a metallic plate or metallic chassis. Mounting screws (6 x UNC-4-
40) or ( M3 with option code ‘M3’) , stainless steel 5mm maxi into the STARLPRO-1500 box) should be
tightened with a torque between 50 Ncm and 100 Ncm.
The heat transfer characteristics of the mounting surface must be adequate to limit the rise of the unit's base
plate to <+60°C. Since the minimum total power consumption for proper Rb operation is around 200mA / 24V,
the allowable environmental temperature (Tamax), for this mounting is:
Tamax = 60°C -Vs x Is x Rk
CAUTION
Care must be taken to ensure that the maximum operating temperature
is not exceeded, (+60°C as measured at the unit's base plate)
This maximum temperature can be reached when operating the unit into forced air flow at 60°C or by
mounting the unit into user equipment with thermal interface corresponding to a thermal resistance of
1 to 2 °C/W between the STARLPRO-1500 unit and the ambient .
