APPLICATIONS

The Atlas Sound FMA series of vertical cabinets offer the flexibility of designing
modular configurations to match specific installation needs. Superior wire
management designs make them ideal for single and multi-bay configurations where
easy accessibility to wiring in and between racks is desired. Designed for a high
strength-to-weight ratio, these racks are built to E.I.A. specifications. Standard #EIA­310-C meets most OEM, commercial, and military requirements. All are commonly
used to house electronic, communications, computer, security, and switching
equipment in commercial, industrial, and institutional applications.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The new Atlas Sound FMA (Folded Metal Assembly) design incorporates an
innovative "Radius" look characterized by sleek corners and seamless joints. This
new look blends effortlessly in today's ergonomically designed office environment. A
wider footprint of over 24" offers installers the luxury of more available working space,
particularly valuable in wire management applications where space is often inherently
limited.

All units feature 14 gauge steel tops/bottoms and frames. A flush mount 16 gauge
steel rear door with integral "stop" to prevent over-travel is included as standard.

The Atlas Sound FMA series features completely redesigned "hat" sections for added
strength & greater versatility in rack rail positioning. The hat sections include a rack
rail slot along with holes spaced the entire length of the hat section to allow for easy,
secure positioning of the rack rails. This newly designed hat section is also spaced
in the cabinet to allow the installation of standard 19" blank panels vertically inside
the cabinet. This is perfect for "stick-on" type accessories like Atlas Sound DC power
supplies & relays. Hat sections also feature slotted cut-outs for clean, organized wire
management.

For optimum wire management, unique, removable 2RU high panels are positioned
behind cutouts at the top & bottom on the rear of the cabinet. These panels include
a variety of knockouts ranging in size from 3⁄8" to 11⁄4" to facilitate rigid or flexible
conduit. 3⁄8" knockouts (x2) are also included on this panel to allow installation of
BNC connectors commonly used for diversity wireless microphone systems. The
cabinet top sections offer large, vent openings for maximum ventilation. This comes
in especially handy when thermal sensitive amplifiers and/or digital rack mount
equipment are mounted in a FMA cabinet.

Leg levelers are included with the FMA series at no additional cost to provide
alignment regardless of floor evenness but in instances where maneuverability of the
cabinet is required, an optional caster kit allows easy positioning without significantly
increasing the cabinet’s overall height.

Cabinets include two pair (front/back) 11 gauge plated steel rack rails tapped 10­32 and include the new Atlas Sound RU indicators to aid in aligning equipment
during installation. Threaded inserts are included on the front of the cabinet to save
installation time when a front door is required.

Pre-drilled holes allow multiple
cabinets to be connected or
ganged

Optional FMA series side panels "swing–out" for easy serviceability of equipment
housed in the cabinet while maintaining security. These heavily reinforced side panels
install easily on unique "lift-off" hinge assemblies. All mounting holes and cabinet
hardware is provided to join multiple FMA & G series cabinets.

UL listing & seismic rating pending.
