California Instruments Removal of standard casters from AST12K3A1 and AST18K3A1 models for rackmounting. See accessories for rackmount kit option. (No Casters)
The AST-Cxxxx is an official California Instruments factory option for the AST12K3A1 and AST18K3A1 programmable AC power sources. This option specifies the removal of standard casters from the unit, facilitating rackmount installation. The absence of casters allows the power source to be securely mounted in a rack environment, which is often required in test and measurement applications where mobility is not needed. For complete rackmounting, a separate rackmount kit accessory is available. This option is intended for customers who require a stationary, rack-integrated solution and do not need the mobility provided by casters.
