XB2 Kit Installation 

 

Installation of the control board (optional) 

 

To install the optional control board with rotary 
encoder next to the display, holes must be 
drilled. To do this, remove the steel profile on 
which the display is located. First you must 
remove the left end block with the drawbars. It 
is attached to the base with four wood screws 
from above and two long plastic screws from 
below. Disconnect the cable to the front panel 
from the slot on the end block. 

 

 

 

To place the drill holes precisely, they must be punched. For this 
purpose, print out the drilling template shown opposite. 

Check 

the dimensions

 to ensure that the printout is on a scale of 1:1, 

i.e. that it has not been enlarged or reduced. Cut out the drawing 
along the contour lines. 

 

 

 

Place the metal profile upside down on a soft 
surface so that it does not get scratched. 
Attach the drawing with adhesive tape in the 
center of the metal surface, about 6cm next to 
the display, with some distance to the screwed-
on strut.  

Center punch the five drill holes at the 
positions marked with crosses. Pre-drill all five 
with 3.2mm. Then enlarge the two drill holes 
for the buttons to 7mm. Enlarge the drill hole 
for the encoder to 14mm with the step drill. 
Deburr the holes on both sides with the step 
drill. 

 

 

 

Now fasten the control board with the two black screws and connect the 6 core cable. Reassemble the 
steel profile with the display and the left end block. When doing so, do not neglect to reattach the ground 
connection under the screw on the left and restore the cable connection between the two assemblies.
