5 Mounting the VTR1
5.1 Heatsinking
The approximate heat dissipation of the VTR1 can be calculated as follows:
HD = 0.25 * BR * PW * TF + 2
Where:
HD Heat dissipation (W)
PW Strobe pulse width (seconds)
TF Maximum trigger frequency (Hz)
BR Brightness of the light output (%)
Given the range of ambient temperatures and radiated sunlight, the installation must provide
enough heatsinking on the rear surface to keep the internal temperature of the VTR1 below 70
