Parallax Power Supply Technical Note INFORMATION REGARDING MOUNTING CLEARANCES FOR PARALLAX POWER SUPPLY POWER CENTERS. The Owners Manual states that there must be a minimum of 22 inches of clearance provided to the front of the converter. Also, that adequate room should be left for wire routing and fan air intake located at the rear of the converter. The Owners Manual also states that the converter should not be mounted in zero clearance compartments because overheating and thermal shutdown will result.
