Cooling
Natural convection cooling is applied. For example there is no fan when MTS 2 operates with a load of
295W for 2 BRs, low power PA, plus a charge current of 3 A at + 30 °C.
Forced air from fans placed below units is used when for example MTS 4 operates with a load of 640W
for MTS 4 with 2 BRs, MTCC, high power PA plus a charge current of 6 A at + 30 °C.
For all configurations of MTS, see
Expansion Cabinet 400 MHz BR-Arch-1 Configuration on page 78
