PREPARE THE MODULE FOR 

MOUNTING

Important:

 The MZA is an electronic unit. 

During installation, take the following 
precautions to avoid damage to its electronic 
components:

• Handle with care, avoid mechanical 

damage.

• Keep the electronics dry.
• If handling circuit boards, hold them by 

their edges to avoid physical contact with 
electronic components.

• Avoid exposure to static electricity.
• 

Avoid contamination with metal filings, 

liquids, or other foreign matter.

• Remove the module from its packaging.
• 

Open the enclosure door using a flat-blade 

screwdriver or coin.

• Anti static precautions should be taken 

before touching the boards inside.

• Carefully disconnect the ribbon cable from 

the motherboard.

• Unscrew the four Phillips (cross-head) 

screws holding the motherboard to 
the enclosure (see Fig 1). Remove the 
motherboard, and put it out of harm’s way.

• Taking care to protect the User Interface 

board on the enclosure door, drill/punch 
entries as required (see Fig 2).

MOUNT THE MODULE

The module mounts with four screws with 
mounting centers as noted in Fig 3. To seal 
around the mounting screw (necessary to 
maintain the IP54 rating), use a rubber or 
elastomeric washer.

• Note: 

The AquiTronTM/ TraceTek sensing 

circuit is power limited, so the TraceTek 
leader or jumper cable and the power 
supply cable must not run in the same 
conduit.

• Fit conduit bushings/adapters.
• 

Remove all traces of metal filings and dust 

from inside the module enclosure.
