3.1 MOUNTING
The SLO-SYN Drive is mounted by fastening its mounting brackets to a flat surface as shown in
Figure 3.1. If the drive assembly is mounted against a bulkhead, be sure to apply a thin coating of
thermal compound between the drive and the mounting surface before fastening the unit in place.
Do not use too much thermal compound. It is better to use too little than too much.
Figure 3.1 Mounting Diagram
Case temperature should not exceed +70° C (+158° F). Forced air
cooling may be required to maintain temperature within the stated
limits.
When selecting a mounting location, it is important to leave at least two inches (51mm)
of space around the top, bottom and sides of the unit to allow proper airflow for cooling.
It is also important to keep the drive away from obvious noise sources. If possible, locate
the drive in its own metal enclosure to shield it and its wiring from electrical noise
sources. If this cannot be done, keep the drive at least three feet from any noise sources.
