HARDWARE ASSEMBLY & CONFIGURATIONS 

OUTER CASE

The Figure 10.1 above shows the controller outer-case when viewed with controller front label upright. The controller outer 

case is a rigid plastic Enclosure into which the electronics assembly fits. The Enclosure in turn fits into the standard DIN size 

panel cutout, as described in 

Section 11 : Mechanical Installation

.

 

Notice  the  nomenclatures  used  to  identify  the  various  parts  as  the  same  are  used  throughout  the  sections  describing 

installation, configuration and electrical connections.

ELECTRONIC ASSEMBLY

The electronic assembly can be removed from the plastic Enclosure and placed back as described below and illustrated in 

Figure 10.2

Removal

1.   Hold the controller with its front label upright. 

2.   Hold the Bezel with the fingers on the pullout grips provided on the left and right sides of the bezel. Pull the bezel outward.   

The assembly comes out with the bezel.
