Options For Command Station Mounting
The Command Station is designed for flush mounting to the side of your layout or it may be
mounted into a drawer. When not in use, the drawer is closed. Either method is OK since the
Command Station creates very little heat.
The 3 corner holes in the faceplate are sized for #4 pan head screws.
Cutout Dimensions
Use the dimensions shown to insure proper clearance for drawer and flush mounted Command
Station plate. The right hand 2 inch clearance allows the wall transformers plug to go into the AC
jack on the Command Station. The AC socket is fragile; don’t pull on it.
Allow about 3 inches clearance behind the Command Station for modular cables to enter and
exit. Do not allow metallic objects to touch the circuit board.
Use cable ties to fasten all cables out of the way to avoid snagging them when you work
under the layout. Snagged cables are a sure way to damage the Command Station’s modular
jacks or the fragile AC jack.

Drawer Mounting
Allow about 2 inches above the Command Station to clear the knobs. Drill a 1 inch hole to allow
cables to enter drawer. Allow about 3 inches underneath the Command Station to clear cables and
jacks. Use cable ties and clamps to fasten cables to bottom of drawer. Also add clamps and ties to
fasten all cables out of the way to avoid snagging them when you work under the layout. To allow
for drawer travel, loop the cables behind the drawer. Do not stretch or pull cables or damage will
result.
