1.6 Recommended Tools
It is beyond the scope of this manual to list every tool that an installation
technician should carry. However, the following tools are specifically
required for installing the base station:
■ Philips #2 tip screwdriver used to connect the DC power cables to the
DC power terminals
■ Pozidriv PZ3 screwdriver for the M6 screws used to secure the tray to
the cabinet in Tait factory-assembled systems
■ Torx T10 screwdriver for the M3 pan head screws with captured shake-
proof washer and flat washer used to secure the modules in the tray
■ Torx T10 screwdriver for the M3 countersunk screws used to secure the
cover and the heatsink channels to the tray
■ Pozidriv PZ1 screwdriver for the M3 pan head self-tapping screws used
to secure the fans.
You can also obtain the TBA0ST2 tool kit from your nearest Tait dealer or
Customer Service Organisation. It contains the basic tools needed to install,
tune and service the base station.
1.7 Ventilation
Always ensure there is adequate ventilation around the base station. Do not
operate at high duty cycles in a sealed cabinet. You must keep the ambient
temperature within the specified range, and we strongly recommend you
ensure that the cooling airflow is not restricted.
Important The cooling fans are mounted behind the front panel.
To ensure adequate airflow through the base station, do not
operate it for more than a few minutes with the fans discon-
nected (e.g. for servicing purposes).

Ventilation
Refer to Figure 1.2 on page 11.
Adequate cooling airflow is critical to the performance of the base station.
The cooling airflow for the base station enters through the front panel and
exits at the rear of the tray. For optimum thermal performance, the heated
air that has passed through a base station must not be allowed to re-enter the
air intakes on the front panel.
Each base station requires an unobstructed airflow of 18m
3
/h (11cfm).
To allow enough cooling airflow through a cabinet mounted base station
we recommend the following:
