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.
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
By lifting up the
desktop, the
keyboard and
mouse can be
easily removed
and set on top.
The lightweight and durable aluminum construction provides exceptional
strength in field applications.
The high quality LCD screen provides
full color and features up to 1024 x
768 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
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.

rear slide mount to the
cabinet frame.
DO NOT tighten these
screws fully at this time.
