2.
Align the lip on the bottom of the Local X/Y Control Panel
with the groove along the inside bottom of the enclosure
and tilt the panel into place.
3.
Fasten the Local X/Y Control Panel in place with the
screws and nuts that held the blank front panel.
4.
Attach the ribbon cable (has a red wire along one side) to
the port inside the enclosure. The port is directly above
the rear main board. The red wire on the ribbon cable
should face the closest enclosure wall at the enclosure
port, and should face up at the panel connection.
5.
Attach the 5V power cable to the Local X/Y Control Panel
instead of the blank front panel (the little bumps on the
cable’s connector should face up). The other end of this
cable is already connected.
6.
Replace the enclosure lid and the screws. Make sure the
flathead screw goes in the center of the lid.
7.
Reconnect power to your distribution matrix.

Remote X/Y Control Unit
A Remote X/Y Control Unit is an X/Y Control Panel that is
not in the same location as your distribution matrix. A Re-
mote X/Y Control Unit is mounted on an enclosure that
contains minimal components.
A Remote X/Y Control Unit offers all the advantages of a Lo-
cal X/Y Control Panel with the added benefit of distance.
With the Remote X/Y Control Unit, you can control your sys-
tem or troubleshoot without being in the heart of your system.
Using RS-232 link cable, your remote can be up to 100 feet
(32.8 m) from your distribution matrix. Using RS-422 link ca-
ble, your remote can be up to .25 mile (400 m) from your
distribution matrix.
Installing a Remote X/Y Control Unit is just like linking en-
closures in a multi-enclosure distribution matrix.
