Component Removal/Installation
Replacing the GUI
(9.5-in. to original
10.4-in.)
1. Disconnect power, unscrew and separate the ventilator top and bottom
halves. Set the halves side by side.
2. Disconnect all accessible wiring harnesses to the sensor, MMI, and
backlight inverter PCBs.
3. Remove the power supply shroud (see “Power Supply Fan/Shroud” on
4. Remove the hardware securing the power supply (see “Power Supply”
on page 9-10). Disconnect J2 and J3 harness connections to the
power supply. Position the power supply and remaining interconnect
wires so that they are out of the way.
5. Disconnect the harnesses (not previously accessible) to the MMI PCB.
Remove all hardware securing the MMI PCB to the bulkhead bracket,
and then remove both the MMI PCB and bulkhead bracket (see “MMI
PCB (9.5-in. GUI)” on page 9-15).
6. Remove the J14 harness from the main PCB (it will not be reused).
7. Remove the 9.5-in. GUI assembly (“GUI Assembly (9.5-in. GUI)” on
page 9-19). Loosen the alarm volume and intensity control
potentiometer set screws. Retain the ribbon cable end connectors.
8. Transfer the language inserts, knob, and rotary encoder from the old
GUI to the new.
9. Remove the conductive tape from the shielding plate, unscrew all
hardware securing the shielding plate to the ventilator housing, and
remove the old shielding plate.
10. Use a soldering iron to enlarge the hole in the ventilator enclosure for
the new display to main PCB wiring harness (Figure 9-90) to
approximately 3/8-in. diameter (Figure 9-91).
CAUTION:
Enlarging the enclosure hole for the harness may create excess plastic
material: remove all excess enclosure material after enlarging the
opening.
