Assembling the 

Control Head 

Interface

The following steps show how to connect the control head remote interface 
to the control head.

1.

Undo the two Torx T-
20 screws on the 
adaptor flange of the 
control head, and 
remove the adaptor 
flange.

2.

Keep the two screws 
for step 6.

3.

Unplug the control-
head loom.

4.

The adaptor flange and 
control-head loom are 
not used for the remote 
control-head 
installation.

Notice 

You can change the control head orientation by changing the 

control-head loom to the opposite connector. For more information, 
refer to the remote control-head installation instructions (IPN 402-
00020-xx, available from 

support.taitradio.com

).

5.

Plug the control-head 
interface loom into the 
connector on the 
control head.

6.

Use the two Torx T-20 
screws from the first 
step to fit the control-
head remote interface 
to the control head.
