REINSTALLING HEATSINK
The transmitter is shipped with the heatsink attached.
Removing the heatsink is not recommended. If, due to your
particular situation, you find that you need to reinstall the
heatsink, refer to the steps provided here.
To re-install the heatsink:
1 Ensure the chassis and heatsink surfaces are clean. If
needed, use rubbing alcohol to clean, then dry.
2 Align the transmitter and heatsink, with the back of the
transmitter mating with the front, flat surface of the
heatsink.
3 Secure the heatsink with four (4) 6-32 x 1” screws
(1-1/2” screws if using encryption model).
Install the screws from the transmitter side.
4 Make sure there is good contact between the transmitter
and the heat sink. They should be mounted flush to one
another.
5 IMPORTANT Two 4-40 screws must be installed on
the outside (fin side) of the heatsink to tighten the heat-
conductive surfaces nearest the final output power
transistor. These screws are essential for proper heat
dissipation. Do not operate the transmitter with these
screws removed. Screw must not exceed 0.125 depth
into transmitter or it will bottom-out and not provide
proper heat-conduction.

NOTE: Make sure to install all factory-provided hardware
to secure heatsink to transmitter for optimal thermal
conduction and heat dissipation. The temperature
must never exceed 80 Deg. C.
NOTE: The transmitter’s baseplate operating tempera-
ture is -30° to + 80°C. The heatsink is always required.
Removing the heatsink is not recommended as
excessive heat can destroy the device
