g. If required, the rotation and lock position may be changed to suit the user:
i. Open the door.
ii. Remove the bolt in the back of the lock.
iii. Carefully remove the lock cam and lock washer.
iv. Behind the lock cam is a special 90° washer. This washer
has a section removed and controls the lock and unlock
orientations by engaging on a protrusion on the lock body.
Carefully remove this special 90° washer.
v. Insert the key into the lock and orient to the desired locking
position.
vi. Replace the special 90° washer and then turn the key to the
unlocked position. Repeat using different orientations until the
desired locking and unlocking orientations are met. Note: The washer can be flipped if needed.
vii. Replace the lock cam, lock washer and bolt to match the desired locking and unlocking orientations.

CAUTION: Ensure adequate manpower is available to help safely install the system. Empty rack cabinets alone may weigh up to 200 lbs. Moving rack
cabinets can present dangers to both personnel and the incorporated equipment.
CAUTION: Use eye protection and protective gloves while installing the cabinet.
DID YOU KNOW? The cabinet center section may be hung left or right- hinged as required by the final installation. The key lock rotation may also be
changed. In addition, this orientation could be easily changed at any point during the cabinet’s lifetime.
a. Prepare your site for installation. A typical “2x4” stud construction was utilized during certification testing. This wall has vertical stud
centered at 16 inches. In addition, the wall was covered by
b. When installed, all back box mounting holes must be filled with a

c. Other wall types, such as masonry, may or may not be
considered stronger. Consult site engineers/inspectors
for local code guidance.
d. Always install cabinet on a plum wall surface.
e. Layout the mounting bolt pattern on the wall. For more
detail, you may consult drawings found on
AtlasSound.com for dimensions.
f. Drill pilot holes into studs using a

bolts. Use standard 5⁄16 flat washers under each lag bolt
head. All mount holes must be used.
h. If in masonry, use a rotary hammer drill with an
diameter carbide tipped hammer drill bit to provide the
hole to set a wedge anchor. Suggest using 3⁄8" ITW Red
Head “Multi-Set II” or “Trubolt” hardware.
i. Determine the hinge side of the center section.
j. Mate the cabinet center section on to the back box
and install the hinge pins completely. The ball detents
are only designed to keep the pins in place temporarily.

k. Once the hinge pins are installed, the cabinet may be opened and the hairpins may be installed. The hairpins will prevent the hinge pins from
being removed.
l. The position of the lock should be on the opposite side of the hinge pins. Both the position and rotation of the lock position may be changed
to suit the user:
i. Open the cabinet.
ii. Remove the bolt in the back of the lock.
iii. Carefully remove the lock cam, lock washer and special 90° washer.
iv. If required, remove the nut holding the lock body to the back box. Now the lock body can be swapped in place of the plastic plug on the
opposite side of the cabinet. Install the nut on to the lock body.
v. Insert the key into the lock and orient to the desired locking position.
vi. Replace the special 90° washer and then turn the key to the unlocked position. Repeat using different orientations until the desired locking and unlocking orientations are met. Note: The washer can be flipped if needed.
vii. Replace the lock cam, lock washer and bolt to match the desired locking and unlocking orientations.
CAUTION: Ensure adequate manpower is available to help safely install equipment within the rack. Despite the small size of some gear, weights can
easily reach 80 lbs. or more. Know the weight of the equipment to be installed and use the appropriate number of people or rigging equipment.
CAUTION: The center section should only be opened during installation and maintenance operations. Opening this section should not be a part of
day-to-day operations.
DID YOU KNOW? Equipment installation into the cabinet may be greatly aided by using the Atlas Sound LAR150. It provides a much-needed helping
hand during installation and also reduces manpower needed to hold the equipment in place.
DID YOU KNOW? Rail positions (rack units) are conveniently marked on all Atlas Sound cabinet rails. The 1st position will always be at the bottom of
the cabinet. The first set of three (3) mounting holes in each rail make-up this 1st rack unit position. The next set of three (3) mounting holes make-up
the 2nd rack unit position and so on.
NOTE: Interference could exist between racked-equipment, doors and floor of the cabinet. See Initial Rail Setup section before proceeding.
a. Equipment is typically mounted using 10-32 screws. Additional, matching hardware may be purchased (P/N RSCW100 or P/N RSCW500) as
required. Chrome hardware (P/N HK-40) is also available.
b. Start mounting equipment in the lower elevations of the cabinets.
c. Always mount the heaviest equipment within the lower elevations of the cabinet.
d. NOTE: If installed equipment has cooling vents on the top or bottom, do not block those vents. Leave a rack unit of space or more between
adjacent equipment. Filler panels may be used to fill these open spaces.
e. If equipment requires rear rack rails, additional rail pairs may be purchased. In general, any piece of gear heavier than 25 lbs. per rack unit
should utilize a rear rack rail. Consult chart below:
Rack UnitsFront Rail MaxUse Front + Rear Rail Max
1 RU25 lbs56 lbs
2 RU50 lbs112 lbs
3 RU75 lbs168 lbs
4 RU100 lbs224 lbs
5 RU125 lbs280 lbs
f. If any type of pullout device is installed with the cabinet. Be sure cabinet center section is closed against the back box and locked before
operating pullout devise.
g. An optional fan panel may be used to help facilitate air movement within the cabinet to improve thermal cooling. Note: Fan reliability is best
when used to pull cool air. Additional reliability is gained by using an optional CFT-125 thermostat fan controller to reduce fan usage.
h. Additional air movement may be generated by installing industry-standard 119mm fans (105mm mount pattern) over the side panel perforated
vents; up to 4 fans per side.
i. Use the tie-point slots located on the rear of the main cabinet to help route and retain all electrical and AV cabling. Be sure to leave adequate
tie-points for from-wall electrical and AV service. The back box installer should leave at least a seven to eight foot service loop. This loop will
easily get to any point within the cabinet.
j. After completing the equipment installation, be sure all doors (if any) close properly.
