SB304- SB50 limits [RE-wrenches]

Hello Rick,
I see your finding the "hot seat" is only warm when the manufacturer is quick
and detailed with responses.  Thanks so much for sharing.

With regards to the Outback DC box, your product will nipple on but requires
backing to attach to the wall.  This is especially a problem for us as we are an
Outback Integrator and can't use the SB-50 for our pre-assembled systems and
still meet the listing requirements.  The idea of moving the heat sink to the
right side(if possible) gives us something we can use.

Regards,
Bob Maynard
