Reassemble Enclosure heat sync

LPWAN Industrial Gateways / Concentrators RAK7240
1

Issue:
Hi everyone, I have had a 7240 gateway come crashing down in a storm a few months ago. It was damaged and I had to remove the back plate to straighten out. Amazingly when connected, it works just fine, and is testament to how well these things are built.
My question is, when I removed the backing plate, I’m unsure of the exact positioning of the heat sync plates? I have ordered thermal paste, but if anyone has photos of where to place them exactly that would be great…here are some screenshots of the damage etc…

Hello @Andy,
Wow, that was a whole crash test for the device :smiley: .

Thermal paste should be here:

As for the heat sink plates, I suggest you take them off the backside of the gateway and put them on their place (you should hear a quiet clicking when it does fit on the concentrator), and then close the gateway.

Best Regards
