• Disconnect the two-way lid/base connecting cable from PL4 on the Main Control PCB.
• Carefully remove the four M4 retaining nuts that secure the hinges and lift off the lid.
To remove the base PCBs: -
• Ensure power has been removed from the panel and that the power supply PCB is safe to handle.
• Disconnect the Power Supply PCB connecting cable from PL1 on the Main Control PCB.
• Pull the Power Supply PCB's earth strap off the spade connector at the main base earth point.
• Carefully undo the PCB retaining screw located at the bottom left hand side of the relevant PCB
using a crosshead screwdriver.
• Slide the PCBs up and over the mounting pillars taking care not to damage any of the compo-
nents.
• Store the PCBs in a clean, dry place which is free from vibration, dust and excessive heat.
Retaining the PCBs in a suitable cardboard box will also guard them against mechanical damage.

Mounting the base to the wall

The panel can be surface or semi-flush mounted using the five mounting holes provided (note that an
optional bezel, part no. AFP735, is available for semi-flush mounting).
To expose the mounting holes you must first remove the panel's lid and base PCBs, as described on page 5.
The mounting holes are suitable for use with No.8 roundhead or countersunk screws.
Always assess the condition and construction of the wall and use a suitable screw fixing. Any dust or swarf
created during the fixing process must be kept out of base.

Planning the cable layout in the panel

All cables should be brought into the panel via the knockouts provided.
Note that the network cabling is classed as low voltage and must be segre-
gated away from Mains voltages. Careful planning is needed to ensure this
(see Fig. 2, above, for guidance).
Leave sufficient tails inside the panel to ensure straightforward connection
of the field wiring to the panel's terminals. Knockouts should be removed
with a sharp, light tap using a flat 6mm broad-bladed screwdriver as shown
in the diagram (right).
Always ensure if a knockout is removed, the hole is filled with a good quality
20mm cable gland. Any unused knockouts must be securely blanked off.
