Attaching the Rack Rails
Attach the side-mount rack rails to the rack to hold the encoder in place. Figure 3-1 illustrates
the parts of the rack rails.
Figure 3-1: Rack rails
To attach the rack rails to the rack:
1.
If needed, place a Tinnerman™ speed nut with the nut on the outside of the rack over the
holes to which you would like to mount the rails.
NOTE:
Each of the four rack posts requires two speed nuts.
2.
Position the rack rails so the shelves are toward the inside of the rack.
3.
Using the #10 screws provided with the encoder, screw the mounts into the speed nuts
from the inside of the rack using the rack-mount holes that line up with the holes on the
rack posts.
Figure 3-2 illustrates attaching the rails.
