Removing/Replacing Button Labels; Disassembling The Novara Keypad - AMX Novara 1000 Series Operation/Reference Manual

Removing/Replacing Button Labels

The button labels on Novara keypads are acetate inserts that fit inside the Key Caps installed on the pushbuttons. In order
to change the inserts, the key caps need to be removed. Removing the Key Caps on Novara keypads requires
disassembling the keypad, so that they can be accessed through the rear of the faceplate:

Disassembling the Novara Keypad

your body by touching a grounded metal object before performing the following steps.
