Cooling
The BCE5 power supply has been design for convection cooling. It is,
therefore, very important that its natural airflow is unimpeded.
For maximum output power at maximum ambient temperature it is
recommended that the following spaces above and below the power
supply are provided.
Horizontal (bench) mounting
Vertical mounting
60mm min
60mm min
20mm min
Note:
The maximum ambient operating temperature of the power
supply is defined as the temperature of the air entering the bottom of the
power supply. This may not be the same as the room temperature if the
power supply is mounted above a heat source, or in a confined space.
If the objects above and below the power supply do not restrict the
airflow, (i.e. perforated metal) then the distances shown above may be
reduced. For more information contact the manufacturer.
