p>p>AtlasIED, the manufacturing leader of ceiling mounted loudspeakers introduces the new CR Series ceiling-mounted equipment racks. These innovative racks allow electronic equipment to be conveniently installed out of sight, in the ceiling plenum. The CR Series provides a space-saving solution while also being aesthetically discrete, blending in with common drop-ceiling tile designs. They permit equipment to be securely mounted above the ceiling in a UL plenum-rated cabinet with an easy access door. The door assembly has an open frame design so the installer can place a ceiling tile into the frame and better conceal the entire ceiling rack. The ceiling tile cut-out is safely held in place by retainer tabs, locking it to the frame. To open the door, two retention thumb screws can be loosened, and the door has attached safety cables to protect against injury.< /p> < p>Shelf System and Enclosure Sizes: There are two different shelf and enclosure sizes in the CR Series. The first choice provides 2RU (rack units) with a 19" standard-width and 11.25" upper max / 12.5" lower max depth (with pole) or 11.25" upper max / 14.25" lower max depth (no pole). The enclosures are 2' x 2' to fit a standard reflected ceiling tile grid. The second choice provides 2RU with a 9.25" half-width and 11.625" upper max depth (with RR Kit) to accommodate compact half-rack equipment. The enclosure is 1' x 2' to fit a half space of a standard ceiling tile grid. The shelf system has universal mounting holes to easily bolt or tie down electronic devices. As an option, a rack rail kit can be purchased for installing rack mount installable electronic equipment. The rack rail provides two rack units (2RU) CR212RR-For use in the CR212 Series cabinets, CR222RR-For use in the CR222 Series cabinets.< /p> < p>An AtlasIED advantage is the AmbiTILT mechanism with three methods to easily load and service equipment. For the first method, the shelf system has quick-release cane bolts. The two-(2) front cane bolts can be released and the entire shelf will tilt down towards the front. The shelf assembly is held in place by two cable stops and the two rear cane bolts. Being an ambidextrous design, the two-(2) rear cane bolts can be released in the same fashion and the rear section of the shelf will tilt downward for quick access to equipment’s rear connectors. The third option allows an integrator to completely remove the entire shelf system by releasing the front and
