Mounting Option II: Secured shelf mounting (Figure 2)
Step 1. Place the APx515 instrument upside down on a workspace. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the 4 rubber feet from the
chassis bottom. The 4 mounting screws will not be reused.
Step 2. Center each foot (without screws) over the mounting holes on the chassis bottom.
Step 3. Turn the shelf upside down and place it over the APx515 chassis bottom, with the rubber feet in between. Align the shelf so that
the feet are under the indentations at (D) for ush mounting, or at (E) for recessed mounting.
Step 4. Insert the 4 6-32 x 9/16" screws (C) through the screw holes in the shelf indentations, through the rubber feet, and into the
tapped mounting holes in the APx515 chassis bottom.

Mounting Option III: Optional slide adapters for APx515 (Figure 3)
Step 1. Order compatible rack slides from a third party manufacturer. Audio Precision does not sell rack slides for this product. We
recommend General Devices slide part number C-300-S-1xx, and the C-300 optional mounting brackets ([email protected],
or 317-897-7000). The “xx” in the part number listed here represents the length of the slide, which will vary depending upon your rack
depth and application. Please consult with a General Devices sales engineer to determine the correct length.
Caution: It is essential that the rack slides be supported at both the front and the rear of the rack. Mounting the rack slide to the front
of the rack only will result in mechanical failure. You must order and install the correct rear mounting brackets (K) for your rack and
application. Please consult with a General Devices sales engineer to determine the correct rear mounting brackets.
Step 2. Perform Steps 1–4 for Mounting Option II, on the previous page.
Step 3. Mount the two “chassis sections” (F) of the C-300-S slide to the sides of the rack mounting shelf, using hardward (G) provided
with the slide. Follow the slide manufacturer’s instructions and guidelines.
Step 4. Mount the two “stationary sections” (H) of the C-300-S slide in the 19" rack. Follow the slide manufacturer’s instructions and
guidelines. Be sure to attach these parts to both the front and the rear of the rack, using rear mounting brackets (K).
Step 5. Slide the assembled shelf, APx515 instrument and slide chassis sections into the slide stationary sections. Follow the slide
manufacturer’s instructions and guidelines.
