b. At the proposed site, wipe the surface and exposed

mounting plate with one of the enclosed alcohol pads.
Allow both to dry.

c.  Remove the protective tape from one side of one of the

enclosed adhesive pads, and press the pad against the
mounting plate.

d.  Remove the remaining protective tape, and press and

hold the Text Display to its site for 5 seconds.

4. To install the Text Display with mounting screws, perform

the following steps:

a. At the proposed site, place the mounting plate and

rotate it so that the arrow will point toward the hex set-
screw at the back of the base after it’s mounted.

b. Holding the mounting plate in position, fasten it to the

surface with three enclosed mounting screws.

c. Place the Text Display on the mounting plate (180° from

its final position), and then rotate it a half-turn to the
final position. Tighten the hex setscrew at the back of
the base.

5. Route the attached cable to the Electronics Enclosure.

Installing the Control Knob

NOTE: The Control Knob’s cable can be routed differently 
for adhesive or screw mounting. The default cable route is
through the back of the base and should be used when
mounting the base with the supplied adhesive pad. For screw
mounting, the cable can be routed through the center of the
base and through a hole that must be drilled in the mounting
surface. You may use the mounting plate as a template.

1. Place the Control Knob at the site and check the operation

angle with the default 30° base. If it meets your needs,
then skip to step 2. Otherwise, change the base as follows:

a. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the two screws from

the bottom of the base and set the internal mounting
plate aside.

b. While holding the base, grasp the Control Knob and turn

it to the right until you feel it release from the base.
Slide the base off the attached cable and put it aside. 

c. Select the 0° base and thread the cable through the

base to meet the Control Knob.

d. Place the new base against the Control Knob bottom and

turn it to the left until it locks. Route the attached cable
through the base’s opening. Fasten the internal mounting
plate to the base with the screw(s) from step a.
