Mounting flush in panel (using universal filler plate kit) 
Refer to Figure 2-6 and follow the procedure in Table 2-5 to mount your recorder in an existing cutout 
using the Universal Filler Kit. 
Table 2-5 Mounting flush in a panel using universal filler kit 
 
Lay the recorder face down on a clean work surface and position the universal filler plate as 
shown in Figure 2-6. 
Measure the height of the existing panel cutout. 
Refer to Figure 2-6. Position the support brackets, supplied with the kit, so that the distance 
from the top of the “window” in the filler plate to the right angle of the support brackets is just 
less than the height of the existing panel cutout. 
Secure brackets with two 10-32 x 1/4 inch screws, provided in the kit, by inserting them 
through the holes in the filler plate into the tapped screw holes in the recorder case. 
Insert the recorder into the cutout from the front of the panel as shown in Figure 2-6. 
Refer to Figure 2-6. From the back of the panel attach a mounting bracket to each side of the 
recorder case using a 1/4-20 x 1/2-inch hex screw and a lockwasher for each bracket 
(mounting hardware supplied with recorder). Leave the screws slightly loose so you can adjust 
the brackets. 
While holding the recorder firmly against the panel, slide each bracket against the back of the 
panel and tighten the screws.
