Removing and Replacing the Cover
The remote I/O panel cover is removable and provides a security screw that secures the cover in place.
Note:
The security screw that ships with the remote I/O panel is a standard #10-32 machine screw, pan head, ½-inch Phillips.
You can replace this screw with a tamper-proof screw to provide a more secure installation. In addition, you can secure the
unit with a padlock through the security tab that protrudes through the cover.
