INTRODUCTION
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The ultra-slim Command Console SL model is designed for rapid deployable applications
and fits any 19” RETMA rack or transit case. The Command Console SL model brings
together a 19” (1280 x 1024) flat panel display, a full size water tight keyboard and track
ball all in only 1.75” (1U) height.
The Command Console SL model also solved cable retracting problems. An integral
custom engineered articulating arm provides smooth cable management which eliminates
cables from getting tangled and caught on other equipment as the Console is pulled in
and out of the rack.
To further assure rapid deployment, dual quick-lock/release mechanisms hold the Command Console SL model firmly in the storage position and allow it to be quickly set up
and operational. A custom torque adjustable hinge can be adjusted to hold the display
securely at any viewing angle, in the most turbulent situations.
The Command Console SL model is manufactured entirely from lightweight, aircraft
grade, CNC machined aluminum and finished with a tough, baked powder coating to
provide the utmost strength, durability and light weight.
All configurations have the following “key features”:
• USB Connections or PS/2 Connections (connector clamp-down) for keyboard and TB.
• 88-key water tight keyboard.
• Three button sealed trackball
• 12-function keys and arrow keys.
• Fits 24in and 25in deep racks.

too far while mounted to the rack.
Simultaneously press in the first set of
safety catches on each slide rail and
slide the channel until the second safety
catches stop the sliding action.
