It is advisable that the amplifier be mounted lying flat on a metal panel not less than
two square feet for better heat dissipation. Refer to Figure 5-18.
Preferred mounting for better heat dissipation.
Figure 5-18. Preferred Mounting of BAS Amplifiers (10/20/30/50)
Use the mounting procedure shown in Figure 5-19. The wider part of the amp should
be mounted to the heat sink.
Heat sink should be at least 2 feet
The heat sink should be free of paint or any other thermal
The heat sink must be flat to allow good thermal conductivity between the heat sink
and the amplifier.
If possible, add a thermal conductivity enhancer (i.e., thermal grease between the
heat sink and the amplifier).
Adding an external fan (already included in the BAS 100) will remove a considerable
amount of heat from the heat sink and allow the amplifier to operate at a much cooler
temperature.
