Specifications
An MI-2 cabinet installation should pro-
vide at least 13¾ inches behind the mount-
ing panel for clearance of leads and connec-
tors. Allow inside dimensions of at least 16½
inches in width and 5 inches in height for
adequate air circulation. The back panel of
the MI-2 cabinet should be left as open as
possible for best ventilation. Avoid mounting
the indicator directly over a power amplifier.
Adequate ventilation will insure your indica-
tor a long and trouble-free life.
Figure 11. Positioning the Mounting
Template Over Proposed Area to be Cutout.
1a. Position the MI-2 mounting template over
the area to be cut out for the installation.
NOTE
The design of the mounting template
allows you to position or locate the cutout
either from the front or the back of the
panel to which the MI-2 is to be mounted.
If the MI-2 is to rest on a shelf it is neces-
sary to locate the cutout from the back
of the panel.
1b. If the MI-2 is to be located from the back
of the panel, the following steps will help you.
Scribe a vertical centerline through the
exact center of the cutout area on the back
of the panel.
Place the template against the back of
the panel and match the template centerline
with the scribed cutout centerline.
If the MI-2 is to rest on a shelf then make
sure the bottom of the mounting template is
touching the shelf.
1c. Before marking the two locating holes
("c" holes on the mounting template) take
special note that there are two small diam-
eter "c" holes and two
3
/
16
" diameter larger
holes. In order to have the MI-2 rest on the
shelf follow these instructions carefully.
Mark with a pointed instrument the two
small diameter holes.
Drill these two holes through with a
3
/
16
"
diameter drill making sure they are perpen-
dicular to the panel.
Now position the template on the front of
the panel by aligning the
3
/
16
" diameter "c"
holes of the template with the drilled holes.
Proceed to Step 2 now.
2. Mark the "A" and "B" drill holes and the
four corners.
Join the corners using the edge of the
template as a straight edge.

3. Drill the mounting holes and cut out the
rectangular hole.
4. Secure the mounting strips to the panel
using two of the four flat head screws pro-
vided.
In the hardware package are 4 flat head
screws and 8 fillister-head screws for varying
