When installing the amplifier in its final location, make certain that it has
adequate ventilation on all sides. In particular, it is necessary to provide at
least 150 mm of room above and below the node for air circulation.
Wall mounting
Drill two mounting holes 233 mm apart in the mounting surface. Figure 1
depicts the locations of the wall mount brackets (Fig. 1, Pos. B). Select
appropriate length 5 mm mounting bolts (not supplied) and washers. Tighten
the mounting bolts. The amount of torque required depends on the mounting
surface.
The lid retaining bolts are fasten with a 10 mm hex nut driver. Use no more
than 3 Nm torque. Before closing the lid it should be checked that:
