Revision E 

NOTE 

When inserting the GDL 69/69A into the Remote Mount Rack, it may be possible for the Pivot 
Pin (2) to fit between the unit and the mount rack without going into the slot of the Locking Plate 
(3). If the Cam Head (2) does not seat in the slot of the Locking Plate (3), the unit will not firmly 
engage with the mount rack and the unit could come loose from the rack. 

4.

 

 With the unit firmly engaged with the mount rack, lower the Locking Lever Handle (1). Then, 
insert and tighten the Locking Lever Handle Securing Screw (4) to mechanically secure the unit 
to the Mount Rack.

CAUTION 

Do not use excessive force when inserting the GDL 69/69A into the rack.  This may 
cause damage to occur to the connectors, unit, and/or unit rack.  If heavy resistance is felt 
during installation, 

STOP

!  Remove the GDL 69/69A and identify the source of 

resistance.  The unit is designed with a key and the back plate is designed to float in the 
unit rack.  Check to ensure the rear plate is not bound by the connector harness.
