3.3.1 Mounting Dimensions for 6K16Vwith metal brackets
Each Mangum 6K16V is supplied with metal mounting brackets and screws to
mount the unit securely. It is recommended to mount the 6K16V vertically, as shown
below, for proper cooling and long-life reliability. It is also advisable to mount the unit
with space for air movement around the top and the sides, typically a minimum of 1
inch..
Note that the back of the 6K16V unit is held out from the panel or wall behind it,
creating a rear space of about ¼ inch or 1cm. This allows air circulation and cooling of
the rear part of the case. Since the 6K16V uses special internal thermal techniques
(patent pending) to move the heat generated by the electronic components inside into the
case, the case may be quite warm to the touch during normal operation.
The unit can be mounted using the brackets turned outside (normal) or inside (if
space is tight). Attach the mounting bracket either outside or inside as shown in
the illustration above (dotted line shown for the brackets inside). The spacing
for the mounting screws into the supporting wall or panel is a rectangle 11.89” x
7.85” center-to-center.
