Installing the Remote Display Assembly
Prepare the
Remote Box
In order to install the RDA, the back box must be prepared for installation. The contents of the box must
be removed and a wiring hole must be drilled into the back of the box.
1. Unscrew the grounding wire from the door of the box. The wire is held in the inside top right corner
of the door by a nut and washer.
2. Remove the door from the box. The door sits on the hinge, and must be lifted in order to separate it
from the hinge.
3. Locate the panel release tabs that extend past the top corners of the Flexible User Interface
assembly. Press the panel release tabs in, and pull the Flexible User Interface panel assembly
forward. The panel is now set perpendicularly to the back box.
4. Remove all wires and cables connecting the panel to either the back box or the TIC. The harness
connecting the TIC to the controller card can be unplugged by pressing the tab at the end of the
wire. The nut and washer holding the grounding cable must be unscrewed.
5. To completely remove the panel, press the latches at the bottom of the assembly in, and lift the door
assembly off the swivel standoffs extending from the side of the bay. See Figure 8.
6. Remove the nuts and washers from the corners of the TIC module (the card and the sheet metal
bracket), and remove the module.
7. Drill a 1/2 inch diameter wiring hole through the back of the box, above the TIC. This serves to
connect the TIC to the Master.
8. File the drilled location to remove any sharp edges before running any field wiring through the
hole.
