REPLACEMENT OF COMMUNICATIONS BOARDS

Most products will have at least one communications board of some sort fitted. There are several different boards
available offering various functionality, depending on the application. Some products may even be fitted two
boards of different types.
To replace a faulty communications board:
1. Remove front panel.
2. Disconnect all connections at the rear.
3. The board is secured in the relay case by two screws, one at the top and another at the bottom. Remove
these screws carefully as they are not captive in the rear panel.
4. Gently pull the communications board forward and out of the case.
