Rack-Adapter Kit Description
The rack adapter kit is a collection of parts that, once installed, configure the
analyzer for mounting in a standard 19-inch equipment rack.
NOTE. A standard equipment rack has rails with universal hole spacing. If you
use a rack with other than universal hole spacing, you may have to drill
additional mounting holes in the rack.
The dimensional drawing in Figure 3 on page 5 illustrates the rack-adapted
analyzer.
Warranted Characteristics
When the analyzer is installed according to the instructions in this document, the
rackmounted analyzer meets all warranted requirements except for those listed in
Environmental R equirements on page 2. Analyzers mounted using methods
other than those described in these instructions may cause the analyzer to not
meet its warranted requirements.

Clearance Requirements
The rack in which the rack adapted analyzer is mounted must provide the
following clearance requirements:
H A minimum of 264.5 mm (10.4 in) of vertical space.
H A minimum width of 441.6 mm (17.4 in) between the left- and right-front
H A minimum inside depth of at least 486.0 mm (19.1 in).
CAUTION. Adhering to these clearance requirements mounts the rack adapted
analyzer with sufficient for air circulation and accommodation of the power cord
and mounting hardware. Failure to provide these clearances can result in
overheating and can cause the analyzer to operate improperly and/or fail.

Installation Instructions
This section contains all procedures needed to rackmount the WCA or RSA
analyzer.
WARNING. To avoid personal injury, prevent the instrument from tipping or
dropping onto the installers. Two or more people should install this instrument
into the rack cabinet. Install the instrument so that the operator will be able to
access its rear panel connections without pushing on the instrument.
Equipment List
The following tools are required to attach the rack-adapter kit hardware, install
cabling hardware, and mount the rack-adapted analyzer into a standard equipment cabinet. All tools are standard tools that are readily available.

Strip the Analyzer for Conversion
Equipment Required: One #2 Phillips screwdriver.
NOTE. All parts removed from the analyzer in this procedure should be kept.
Some of those parts will be needed to perform this rack conversion and the
remainder will be needed if reconversion to a standard analyzer configuration is
desired at a later time.
Procedure:
1. Remove cables and rear cushions:
a. Disconnect all external cables and the power cord from the analyzer.
b. Remove the one screw securing the rear cushion over the cabinet to the
rear panel at each corner . Detach the cushions. See Figure 4.

Assembling the Slide-out
Tracks
Figure 8: Applying the CAUTION label on the cabinet (top view)
Equipment Required: One #2 Phillips screwdriver.
Procedure:
1. Identify the equipment rack right and left slide-out track assemblies by
finding the date code label on each assembly. The equipment rack left-side
assembly has a date code that ends with “LH”, for left hand. The equipment
rack right-side assembly has a date code ending with “RH”.
2. Measure the distance between the front and rear rail of the equipment rack.
3. Align the rear bracket to the right slide-out track as shown in
Figure 9 or Figure 10. Note that the rear bracket has multiple pairs of
mount-through holes. When aligning the bracket and track, be sure to select
a pair of holes that mount the rear bracket so that the flange-to-flange
distance matches the front rail to rear rail spacing of the rackmount rack just
measured in step 2.
4. Secure the rear bracket to the right slide-out track using two 10-32 screws
and a bar nut. Leave the screws loose so that you can adjust the overall
length of the slide-out track assembly in the rack.

5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 to assemble the left slide-out track assembly.

Mounting the Slide-out
Tracks
1. Select a 1/2 inch spaced hole in the front rail.
2. Select the mounting method according to your rack type:
H To mount the slide-out tracks with their front and rear flanges outside of
the front and rear rails, use method A shown in Figure 11 when doing
step 3. This mounting method assumes tapped holes.
H To mount with front and rear flanges inside of rack rails, use mounting
method B shown in Figure 11. This mounting method assumes untapped
holes.
3. Using the method and hardware determined from step 2, secure the right
slide-out track assembly to the equipment rack front and rear rails. The
screws should be fully, but lightly, seated so that you can adjust the rack
later. See F igure 11.
4. Tighten the screws, applying 28 inch-lbs of torque, left loose in step 4 in
Assembling the Slide-out Tracks on page 12 to fix the front to rear flange
spacing of the slide-out track assembly.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 to mount the left slide-out track assembly.

Installation Instructions
Installing the Analyzer in
the Rack
Equipment Required: One #2 Phillips screwdriver.
Procedure: See Figure 12.
1. Install the analyzer:
a. Working from the front of the rack, slide out the inner track of each slide
guide until it stops at the catch.
b. Insert the left and right inner tracks into the tracks on the analyzer. Make
sure that the tracks on the analyzer slip inside the inner tracks.
c. Slide the analyzer backwards until it stops.
d. Push both stop latches, located on the outside of each track, and continue
to slide the analyzer all the way into the rack.
2. Level the rackmounted analyzer:
a. Tighten the four screws that were left loose at the rear of the rack when
you did step 3 in Mounting the Slide-out Tracks on page 15, then pull the
analyzer part way out of the rack.
b. Be sure the four screws that were left loose at the front of the rack are
loose enough to allow the slide guide assemblies to seek their normal
positions.
c. Retighten the four screws and push the analyzer all the way into the rack.
If the tracks do not slide smoothly, readjust the level using the method
just detailed.
d. When leveling is completed, tighten the four screws at the front of the
rack.
3. Secure the analyzer and make rear panel connections:
a. Secure the right and left main brackets to the front rails with four
10-32 screws. If the front rails have untapped holes, insert the four clip
nuts on the holes that you will use to secure the main brackets.
b. Secure the upper and lower blank panels to the front rails with four
10-32 screws. If the front rails have untapped holes, insert the four clip
nuts on the holes that you will use to secure the upper and lower blank
panels.
c. Install the power cord on the rear panel.
d. If necessary, connect cables on the rear panel.

Installation Instructions
WARNING. After completing the installation procedure, the installers should
verify that the instrument and rack cabinet will not tip forward while the
instrument is in the extended position.
To avoid personal injury, operators should prevent the rackmounted instrument
from tipping forward onto them. Operators should verify that the rack does not
become unstable with the instrument fully extended. Do not leave the instrument
extended.
To remove the analyzer from the rack mount, slide it out until it stops at the
catches. Support the analyzer while you press in on the automatic latch on each
side. This action will free the analyzer to slide completely out of the rack.
Provide support while you slide the mainframe out of the rack.
