Removing the Faceplate
The complete Surge-Gap Multimedia Tap assembly consists of a housing and a
faceplate. The faceplate must be removed from the housing so the PDU can be
attached to the tap housing.
WARNING:
When removing the faceplate with the feeder cables attached, take care to
protect yourself from electrical shock and your equipment from damage.
Certain components can deliver an electrical shock.
If the faceplate needs to be removed with the feeder cables connected, refer to the
procedure
To Remove a Faceplate with Feeder Cables Connected (Hot Install) (on
page 21).
To Remove the Faceplate
Follow these steps to remove the tap faceplate from the housing.
1 Using a 3/8-in wrench, loosen all faceplate bolts as shown in the 4-way tap
diagram below.
2 Pull the faceplate straight out from the housing. You need to use a small amount
of force to pull the faceplate out.
CAUTION:
Handle the faceplate with care to avoid damage to the circuitry mounted to the
rear of the faceplate.
3 Place the faceplate in a small box or on a block of foam to protect the tap
circuitry. Set the faceplate in a secure place.
4 Proceed to Installing the Tap Housing on a Strand (on page 23) or Installing the
Tap Housing in a Pedestal (on page 25).
