2. Install the unit in a cool, dry, ventilated location. For example the engine
compartment would be a bad location due to heat. When operating at 40A
continuous the unit should be in an area with an ambient temperature of
under 110ºF. Note that when used continuously at the higher currents the
bottom center of the enclosure can get hot enough to burn skin. For this
reason we recommend the enclosure be fastened down using the mounting
holes on the flanges. It is acceptable to mount to wood since the heat will
not be so great as to burn the wood. Some plastics will melt. Metals are
a good pick but remember that the opposite side of the metal may still be
hot enough to burn skin. Do not block the ventilation holes on the booster.
The booster will shut down if it gets too hot.
3.
Using the RF sensor:
Connect an RF-connector in-line with the antenna
feed and run a short thin coax (any gauge) to the BNC connector on the
Booster. Contact West Mountain Radio if the transmitter is over 200W for
help coupling the RF to the Booster.
4.
Boosters in parallel:
See Figure
1 for the correct configuration.
A. Both the inputs and outputs
should be connected in
parallel. The cables to
each booster should be
tied using a high current
connection. For example
a good pick is to use ring
terminals to a terminal
block or simple bolts.
Make sure all connectors
used on the single wire are
rated for the high current
you will be using.
B. The master of the first
booster needs to be
connected to the slave
connector of the second
unit using common phone
cables. Repeat for each additional booster.
DO NOT install the unit in an area with flammable gases or liquids
