2.4 System Cabinets
The CPU and modules are installed in a CAB-4 series backbox. There are four different sizes available,
holding from one to four rows of equipment plus batteries (up to two 25AH batteries). Backboxes are
ordered separately from doors. The doors can be mounted on the left or the right side of the cabinet;
reversible hinges are provided so that this choice can be made in the field. Doors open a full 180 degrees
and have locks. Mounting methods include surface-mounting or semi-flush mounting on a wall between
16 inch (406.4 mm) on-center studs. A trim ring option is available for semi-flush mounting.
External measurements for each cabinet size are provided below. Refer to CAB-3/CAB-4 Series Cabinet
Installation Document (shipped with your cabinet) for specific mounting drawings and dimensions.
The CPU and adjacent first-row modules mount in chassis CHS-M3. Additional rows of modules mount
in the cabinet using CHS-4N (shipped in kit CHS-4MB), CHS-4L, or other chassis compatible with
CAB-4 series enclosures.
Some additional components available in the CAB-4 series include:
DP-DISP An Inner Dress Panel for covering the backbox area surrounding various
modules.
BMP-1 Blank Module Plate for covering an unused module position. Provides another
location for mounting option boards such as TM-4 or NCM-W.
MP-1B Blank panel for covering panel circuit modules in second, third, or fourth rows of
backbox.
