Installing the 3160
20 Power Amplifier 3160 Installation Handbook
Fixed station
There are no specific requirements for locating the transceiver
and 3160 in a fixed station.
Mounting
The installed 3160 should enable easy access to the
connectors. The 3160 should be positioned with the fins on the
heatsink pointing upwards (as in the stacked layout), or if
mounted on a vertical surface, with the fins on the heatsink
running vertically (see Figure 5 on page 10).
In a mobile station, attach all items of the 3160 system to
structural components of the vehicle.
Grounding
The 3160 Power Amplifier must be grounded using an earth
strap (08-04515-001). In a mobile station, this strap must be
connected to the vehicle chassis. For more information see
page 34, Grounding the 3160.
WARNING
Do not attach any items to loose or plastic
panels in a vehicle.
