This versatile rugged aluminum case has been thoughtfully engineered to satisfy the growing need for rackmounted electronics in the field. VAL-AN 910 is ideal for the safe transportation and field operation of delicate electronic instruments, and offers a host of practical user benefits.

This case features an internal chassis, which is hard mounted within the center section of the case. Installation or rack mounted equipment is quick and easy, with accessibility from the front and the rear. In transit or storage, instrument panels are thoroughly protected by covers which are latched to the case.

This case is designed to be stacked, allowing users to set up a "cabinet" type system in the field.

These cases feature recessed handles, waterproof construction with pressure relief valve, and optional environmental protection. A grounding strap is included in every case with frame. This is available in panel heights from 5.25" to 28.00", and depths from 12.00" to 36.00". Front and rear cover may be optionally equipped with inner lid for storage.
