Using the optional rack mount chassis

1.Place the optional rack plate onto the front of the transmitter or receiver unit and secure it with countersunk screws.

2.Orient the unit on its side so that its labeled face is the correct way up and the securing plate is facing away from the rack.

3.Slide the unit into the required rack position.

4.The rack mount chassis has a series of holes in its floor that are spaced to accommodate the screws on the unit’s lower edge. Ensure that

the screws correctly locate into the holes of the chosen slot. The rack securing plate on the unit should now be

flush with the front of the rack mount chassis.

5.Use a (pan-head) screw in the top hole of the rack securing plate to fasten the

unit to the rack.
