Product Information
Full details
The PULSE ABS-8U Flight Case is designed for musicians, AV technicians, and DJs needing to transport and protect 19" rack-mountable equipment like amplifiers, effects processors, and CD players. Its primary benefit is robust protection against dust and moisture, ensuring gear safety during transit. A potential caveat is the internal depth measurement, which excludes the lid space when determining equipment fit. Key features include durable ABS and aluminum construction, integral 19" rails, secure butterfly catches, and gasket-sealed lids for maximum environmental protection.

FAQs
What is the U height capacity of this case?
The case is designed for 8U (rack units) of equipment height within the 19" rails.
Can I leave my equipment mounted when the case is closed?

What are the external dimensions of the case?
External dimensions are not provided in the product information, but the internal dimensions are 420mm (without lids) and 560mm (with lids) in depth.
Does the case come with rack screws?

Is the case waterproof?
The case features gasket-sealed lids, providing maximum protection against the ingress of dust and moisture, making it highly resistant but not fully submersible.
How do I clean the ABS material?
Clean the ABS exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Mild soap can be used for stubborn dirt, but rinse and wipe dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Troubleshooting
Case is difficult to close.
Ensure no cables or equipment are obstructing the lid. Check that the gasket is clean and properly seated.
Butterfly catches are stiff.
Clean the catches and hinges. A small amount of lubricant can be applied if necessary, but avoid over-application.
Rack equipment does not fit properly.
Verify that the equipment is standard 19" rack width. Double-check internal depth measurements and ensure no part of the equipment exceeds the available space, including lid clearance.
Dust or moisture ingress.
Inspect the gasket seals for damage or debris. Ensure the lids are fully closed and latches are securely fastened.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To set up your equipment, first open the flight case by releasing the butterfly catches on the front or rear panel. Mount your 19" rack-mountable equipment onto the internal rails using the provided M5 rack fixing screws. Ensure all equipment is securely fastened before closing the panels and re-engaging the catches.
Compatibility: This case is designed for standard 19-inch rack-mountable equipment, such as amplifiers, effects units, signal processors, and CD players. The internal depth is 420mm without lids and 560mm with lids. Always measure your equipment to ensure it fits within these dimensions, considering the rack units (U height) it occupies.
Care: Clean the exterior and interior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Ensure the gasket seals remain clean and free of debris to maintain their protective integrity. Periodically check that the butterfly catches and hinges are functioning correctly.
