I love my new Trimble Thunderbolt. Thank you TAPR and Time-Nuts!
I was thinking of putting insulation all around the Thunderbolt to thermally stabilize it. It's in my basement and the temperature there rarely gets above 18 C. That would also help with my dedicated power supply, as the 12 volt sags when the Thunderbolt is started. The power supply is beautiful one from a 1985 HP fiber optic mux. The manual says that operating temperature is up to 60 C. If extra-insulated, is the oven plus other power going to raise the whole unit temperature too high? Would insulating the Thunderbolt and raising its temperature lead to a shorter MTBF? Should I tuck some foam around the oven instead? Should I just run it ambient and let the oven do all the work?
