AtlasIED CR222 2x2-Feet Standard-Width 2RU Ceiling-Mount Rack with Ambi Shelf

AtlasIED CR222 2x2-Feet Standard-Width 2RU Ceiling-Mount Rack with Ambi Shelf

The AtlasIED CR222 2x2-Feet Standard-Width 2RU Ceiling-Mount Rack with Ambi Shelf allows electronic equipment to be conveniently installed out of sight, in the ceiling plenum. It provides a space-saving solution while also being aesthetically discrete, blending in with common drop-ceiling tile designs. This mount rack permits equipment to be securely mounted above the ceiling in a sealed UL plenum-rated cabinet with an easy access door.

Smooth Mechanism

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 thumbscrews can be removed, and the door has attached safety cables to protect against injury. The CR222 provides 2RU (rack units) with a 19-inch standard width. The enclosures are 2 x 2 inch to fit a standard reflected 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 rackmount installable electronic equipment.

Ambitilt - Easily Load and Service Equipment

The Ambitilt mechanism has three methods to easily load and service equipment. For the first method, the shelf system has quick-release cane bolts. The two 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 safety cables and the two rear cane bolts. Being an ambidextrous design, the two rear cane bolts can be released in the same fashion and the rear section of the shelf will tilt downward for quick access to the equipment’s rear connectors. The third option allows an integrator to completely remove the entire shelf system by releasing the front and rear cane bolts followed by releasing the two safety cables via the quick-release locking pins.

Integrated AC Power Pack with PowerAwake Auto On-Off

The CR222 incorporates an integrated UL-listed power pack for powering the mounted electronic devices and data projector. There are 5 electrical outlets provided with standard 15 Amp Edison-style plugs and 4 electrical outlets are located inside the cabinet and 1 outlet faces down and remains exposed when the door is shut. This allows a projector to be easily powered. The CR222's power pack has an AtlasIED innovation called PowerAwake. This provides a sensing circuit that automatically turns power on or off to devices inside the cabinet. This extends their life span and can effortlessly save electricity. The CR222’s exposed outlet is constantly on and incorporates a sensing circuit. When a projector is plugged into this outlet and powered on by a user with a remote, the PowerAwake circuit will detect the electrical current draw and automatically turn on the rest of the outlets and the fan assembly. Now all devices are powered on or off by the projector remote. The PowerAwake pack has sensing circuits in two outlets that always stay on. They are the exposed outlet and the first outlet inside the cabinet. The remaining three outlets are toggled automatically by the PowerAwake circuit. The power supplies incorporate a whisper-quiet fan assembly (24dBSPL A-weighted) for equipment cooling.

Multiple Punch-Outs for Electrical and A/V Connectors

The CR222 is built Texas Tough in AtlasIED's Texas-based manufacturing facility. It is proudly made in America and built to last; 18AWG powder coated metal provides a strong and rigid assembly with decades of operational use. The cabinet side panels include 4 removable 4-inch square standard cover plates. There are two per side and each side has one cover plate with a single 11/2 inch knockout and the other plate with two double knockouts for 1/2 or 3/4 inch conduit connection. The provided cover plates can be replaced with an installer-provided custom plate with connectors such as an Ethernet jack, HDMI jack, NL4, XLR, RCA connectors, and much more.

Multiple Installation Mounting Options

The first mounting method is by suspension from threaded rod via AtlasIED’s optional threaded rod rail kit. The kit includes two mounting bars and hardware for attachment to the enclosure. The bars provide holes to attach threaded rods with bolts supplied by a qualified installer. This is the preferred method as it keeps the whole assembly the most stable. Note: The threaded rod bolts, and clamps are not included in the kit, they are sold separately. The second method is by suspension cables via AtlasIED’s optional cable mounting kit. The kit includes 4 aircraft cables, thimbles, and crimp sleeves. The kit also includes 4 quick adjustment cable locks allowing quick cable length adjustments and cabinet leveling. The last method is using third party mounting accessories. The cabinet comes with extruded mounting ears for attachment points.
