3. Drill Holes
Using a drill with a 3/16 inch bit held perpendicular to
the panel, drill the six A and B holes. Then, using a drill
bit slightly wider than the tip of your saw blade, drill
one hole at each of two diagonally opposite corners. The
holes should barely touch the inside edge of the pencilled
outline. Before taking the next step, make sure that
the six A and B holes have been drilled.
4. Saw Panel Cutout
Sawing carefully on the inside of the pencilled lines,
first make the two long cuts and then the two short.
After the rectangular opening has been cut out, use a
file to square the corners and smooth any irregularities
in the cut edges.
5. Install Mounting Strips
In the hardware package you will find two mounting
strips and two sets of machine screws. For panels that
are less than ½ inch thick, use the ¾ inch screws; for
panels that are more than ½ inch thick, use the 1¼ inch
screws.
Starting at the right-hand side of the panel, insert a
screw of the proper length into the center hole in the
panel, marked B on the template. On the back of the
panel, align a mounting strip with the holes in the panel
and tighten the screw until the screwhead is pulled
slightly into the wood.
Repeat this procedure to attach the mounting strip
to the left side of the panel.
6. Attach PANLOC Brackets
Using two screws of the proper length in the A holes on
each side, attach the PANLOC brackets to the cabinet
panel; the short flange is mounted against the front
(face) of the cabinet panel. The screws pass through the
PANLOC bracket flange, the cabinet panel, and then
through the mounting strips previously mounted.
7. Install Instrument
Guide the AC power cord through the panel opening to
the back of the cabinet; then, slide the instrument into
the opening carefully so that the rails on the bottom of
each side of the chassis engage the tracks on the mount-
ing brackets. Continue to slide the instrument into the
cabinet until it is stopped by the adjust position latches.
Press the latches inward, this permits the instrument to
slide into the cabinet until its front panel is flush with
the cabinet panel. Depress the PANLOC buttons at the
lower left and right corners of the instrument panel to
lock the unit firmly in the cabinet. Depressing the
PANLOC buttons again will unlock the instrument so
that it can be slid forward to the adjust position;
pressing inward on the adjust position latches permits
removal from the cabinet
