Mounting the WBT Cabinet
The WBT Cabinet is a customized 19"-inch instrument rack fitted with powerful shock
absorbers. The cabinet can contain maximum seven custom drawers, and each of these
will hold one Wide Band Transceiver (WBT) and its power supply. An Ethernet switch
and a power distributor panel are included the bottom of the cabinet.
Prerequisites
You must be equipped with a standard set of
tools. This tool set must comprise the normal
tools for electronic and electromechanical tasks.
This includes different screwdriver types, pliers,
spanners, a cable stripper, a soldering iron, etc.
Each tool must be provided in various sizes. We
recommend that all tools are demagnetized to
protect your equipment. The following specific
tools are required for this task:

We recommend that you install the WBT Cabinet
before you install the WBT Drawers and the
transceivers.
Illustration :
Use bulkhead support bracket(s) to make
installation easier. Place the cabinet on
”U"-shaped steel profiles to make more room for
the cables.
Context
The cabinet is installed using shock absorbers. It is mounted on the deck and secured
against a bulkhead. Alternatively, you can place it next to other similar cabinets, and
use these for support.
Place the cabinet on ”U"-shaped steel profiles to make more room for the cables. Design
and install suitable mounting brackets if it is necessary to obtain additional distance
from the bulkhead.
The installation of the cabinet must be planned and prepared by the installation shipyard
in close cooperation with the end user. Relevant installation drawings with mounting
details must be provided by the shipyard.
