3.1 

Mechanical Installation - Controller 

The XGC-320 is designed for use on a bench top, or it may be 
mounted in an instrument control panel. 

 

 

 

To mount the XGC-320 in a panel: 

1.  Make a cutout in your instrument control panel as shown in 

the drawing above. Be sure to allow clearance behind the 
panel for the instrument as well as connectors and cables at 
the rear of the instrument 

2.  Gently pry the front panel bezel loose and remove. 

 

 

Bezel 

Screw mounting 
brackets on either 
side
