PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Command
Console provides
a liquid crystal
display, a desk
work surface and
storage for any
size keyboard
and mouse in a
3.5" high (2U)
standard 19"
rack or transit
case.
The lightweight and durable aluminum construction provides exceptional
strength in field applications.
The high quality LCD screen provides
full color and features up to 1280 x
1024 pixel resolution.
The LCD screen has a backlight
control that reduces power and
extends the life of the monitor.
The side-viewing angle is up to 160
degrees. It can be easily adjusted to
Specially designed locks on
each side of the
Command
Console hold the
compact folded
unit securely in
place during
storage.
Release of the
two Z-Locks on
the front sides of
the Console
allow it to slide
out and the LCD
display to quickly
swing up into a
reading position
any vertical-viewing angle up to 100
degrees. The display works effectively
with any workstation.
An electrostatically-applied and
baked-on finish is used for extreme
durability for shipboard, airborne,
field deployments, and industrial or
lab applications where weight and
size are very critical.
By lifting up the
desktop, the
keyboard and
mouse can be
easily removed
and set on top.

SLIDE REMOVAL
Install Rails
With the Console sitting
on a workbench with the
front facing towards
you, press down to
release the Z-Locks on
each side of the front of
the Console to slide the
side rails back.
The slide rail will reach
a stop about half way
back.
This is a safety stop to
prevent the Console
sliding out too far while
mounted to the rack.
Simultaneously press in
the safety catches on
each slide rail and slide
the side rails all the way
off the back of the
Console.
The slides should now
be separated from the
Console.
Each slide unit includes
the slide rail, with the
front Z-lock mount and
the rear mount.
INSTALL THE SLIDES IN THE CABINET FRAME
On the front of the
cabinet frame, use three
Phillips screws on each
side to secure the right
and left Z-Lock mounts.
DO NOT tighten these
screws to allow for
adjustment of the
Console within the
cabinet frame.
On the rear of the
cabinet frame, use the
two Phillips screws to
loosely secure the right
and left rear slide mount
to the cabinet frame.
DO NOT tighten these
screws fully at this time.
On the slide rails, using
a slot screwdriver,
loosen off the screw.
Repeat on each side.
Doc# 27-0002UM Issued 7/99 Rev. 1.2

Install Rails
Go back on the rear of
the cabinet frame, and
tighten the slide mount
to the cabinet frame.
Make sure you hold the
slide mounts hard
against the rack rail.

the cabinet frame.
Guide the Console into
the slides and slide the
Console in until it stops.
Simultaneously press in
the catches on each
slide and slide the
Console all the way into
the cabinet frame.
The Console should
slide in and out easily.
TEST INSTALLATION AND MAKE ADJUSTMENTS
Slide the Console in
and out several times.
The Console should
easily close completely.
Because of variances in
cabinet frames, there
may need to be some
adjustments of the
Console slide system for
best fit and movement
of the Console in and
out.
To be sure the slide and
mount assembly are
aligned properly, slide
the Console in and out
several times.
If the Console binds
during sliding, do the
following:
