Replacing the Faceplate (US Models Only)

The MLC is delivered with a black plastic faceplate attached, and an additional one- gang plastic faceplate in white. You can replace the black faceplate with the white one or with a different one-gang sized faceplate of your own. You can also replace it with the MLM 52 VC two-gang metal faceplate with the volume control knob (part number 70-538-02or -03), which is available in black or white. MLM 52 faceplate replacement kits can also be ordered (see Optional Accessories on page 62).

NOTE: See the MLM 52 1GWP and MLM 52 VC User Guide for further information on faceplates for the MLC 52.

To replace the faceplate:

1.Hold the MLC face down. Use a small Philips screwdriver to remove the three

attachment screws (marked A in figure 6 on the next page) from the back of the MLC, and keep them to replace later.

2.Lift the MLC off the faceplate (see figure 7 on the next page).

3.Place the MLC onto the new faceplate, aligning the MLC buttons with the openings in the new faceplate and the three screw holes with the faceplate standoffs.

4.Replace the three screws removed in step 1 and tighten them.
