3.3 Closing amplifier lid
When closing the amplifier lid please first use a hex key to tighten the four hand bolts lightly in the
following sequence:
Then, using a torque wrench set to a torque value of 6 Nm, go round again in sequence and tighten
to the final torque setting.
Following this sequence ensures:
1.
The rubber gasket between the lid and the amplifier housing is sealed correctly, providing a sound, watertight seal
to prevent water ingress.
2.
There is a good RF seal between the RF gasket in the lid and the amplifier housing to prevent RF ingress/egress.
3.
Good lid to housing contact for the dissipation of amplifier heat is required. The lid acts as a radiator when
it is correctly secured, keeping the amplifier operating temperature down within parameters when installed
as recommended.
