Frequently Asked Questions about the Stantron Product Line

Q: What happened to the SF200 Series rack frame?

A: Only the name has changed.  The SF200 legacy frame is now called Pioneer.  The specs are the same as before.  Some new sizes have been added, some older models no longer exist. 

Q: Can you retrofit my existing frames and consoles?

A: Some of the older console models can no longer be serviced but for the most part, we can still supply you side panels, doors, etc as before and have even more options these days.  There's no assurance that vents will be in the same place or that handles will be the same as they were, but most of the modern versions of such components will work on your existing frames.

Q: What do you need from me to identify what I possess?

A: We need the overall frame height, width, and depth to match up your product. 

bullet

When considering height, don't count any casters or leveler legs.  Measure from the bottom of the frame to the top.  Tell us whether you have the 3" tall pontoon base at the bottom of the frame, which today is an integrated base. 

bullet

For the depth, measure the frame only, not counting front or rear doors.

bullet

When measuring the width, don't count side panels. 

bullet

While there have always been a myriad of heights, legacy frames are either 22.16", a true 24", or 27.16" wide.  They were available in 3 depths; 25.63", 30.88", or 36.13" overall.  The 22" deep frame is no longer serviced.  Now you can get a 42" deep frame as well on most models of the Pioneer.

Q: When should I use the Pioneer frame versus the new A/V or Broadcast Rack frames?

A: A/V & Broadcast are new products.

bullet

 Pioneer frames are 6.25" taller than the same matching size model (i.e. 40U vs. 40U) 

bullet

Pioneer should always be used when trying to match a legacy SF200 series Stantron frame. 

bullet

A/V Broadcast racks are only 22" wide.  Standard width on a Pioneer is 22.16".  Both hold 19" rack gear. 

bullet

When you need to rack gear that is 23 or 24" wide or need wider 27" cable management frames for 19" equipment.

Q: Are seismic frames certified for Zone 4 Bell core 63 use?

A: Yes, but you must balance the equipment loaded in the rack.  For example, if you had half your equipment in the front of the frame and half in the rear you would be okay.  Otherwise, you must balance the opposite end of the frame with a set of filler panels, sizes to be determined by the height of the frame itself being ordered.
