After the Gold Whistle has been connected and mounted, the system must be set up and initialized. This is accomplished using the EASII, Elmo’s Windows-based software application. Install the application and then perform setup and initialization according to the directions in the EASII User Manual.
Page 55
Gold Whistle Installation Guide MAN-G-WHI (Ver. 1.400) Chapter 11: Heat Dissipation The best way to dissipate heat from the Gold Whistle is to mount it so that its heat-sink faces up. For best results leave approximately 10 mm of space between the Gold Whistle's heat-sink and any other assembly.
Page 56
The chart above shows that no heat-sink is required when the heat-sink temperature is 80 °C, ambient temperature is 40 °C and heat dissipated is 4 W. When an external heat-sink is required, you can use the Elmo external heat-sink (Catalog number: WHI-HEAT-SINK-2).
