7. The included rack-mount hardware kit (includes rack ears and
hardware) is provided to permit attachment in a standard 19" audio
equipment rack.
8. The antenna may be mounted on the front of the long rack ear. The
following parts are included in the kit: Long rack ear; short rack ear;
one BNC bulkhead connector with mounting hardware; one 34"
BNC-to-BNC cable; six rack-mount screws.
Assembling the Rack Mount Hardware Kit
• Remove the nut and lock-washer from the bulkhead connector.
Install the connector from the front into one of the two holes in the
long rack ear (see Fig. D ). Note that the flat on the threaded section
must be aligned with the flat in the panel hole.
• Install the lock-washer and nut (included) over the back of the
bulkhead connector. Secure the connector from the back with its
lock-washer and nut, tightening the nut firmly.
• Connect one end of the provided BNC-BNC cable to the antenna
feed input jack on the back of the MCB4. Attach the other end of
the cable to the back of the BNC bulkhead connector. Make certain
the bayonet twist-ring is fully latched on the connector at both ends.
• Finally, mount the transmitter antenna to the BNC bulkhead
connector.
Note: To mount two MCB4 units side by side in a single rack space,
use Audio-Technica AT8630 Joining-plate Kit.
