Rack mounting your Balancing Gadget
The Balancing Gadget sits on four rubber feet that ensure it won’t scratch the
zebra wood inlays on your antique mahogany desk.
If you prefer to rack mount your gadgets, you’ll need the optional Rack Mount kit
which allows one or two gadgets to be installed side by side in a standard 1RU
rack space.
Each Rack Mount Kit consists of a custom rack panel with cut outs for all front
panel controls and displays. A blank filler panel is also provided if you are
mounting only one gadget.
When rack mounting, remove the four rubber feet (“A”) from the bottom of the
gadget with a #1 Phillips screwdriver.
Remove the four front panel 3/32” hex screws (“B”). You can rummage around
your toolbox for your own hex key, or use the one we thoughtfully provide in the
mounting kit.
Line up the gadget so that the holes
exposed after removing the socket
head screws line up with the mounting
holes (“C”) in the rack panel.
Attach the rack panel to the front of
your gadget with the same screws you
just removed. If you dropped one and
it immediately rolled to an inaccessible
location
(as these things always do), don’t panic
– we’ve included spares in the kit.
Finally, use the provided rack screws
(all four, please) to mount your gadgets.
Wall mounting your Balancing Gadget
If you prefer to secure your gadget to the inside of a rack, cabinet, or other flat
surface, the optional Wall Mount kit comes in handy.
Each Wall Mount Kit includes two brackets, four No. 6 screws, and four cup
washers.
Remove the four rubber feet (“A”) from the bottom of the gadget with a #1 Phillips
screwdriver, being careful to save the screws.
Align the holes in the wall
brackets with the holes in
the bottom of the gadget,
then attach the brackets
using the screws removed
from the rubber feet.
Use the four No. 6 screws
(“B”) and the four cup
washers (“C”) to secure
the gadget to a plywood
surface.
Different hardware (not
supplied) will be required
if you are mounting the
gadget to a drywall (or
other) surface.
