Extron electronic MLC 52 manual Replacing the faceplate, Screws to remove from the MLC faceplate

Installation, cont’d

To prepare the site,

1.	Choose a location that will allow cable runs without interference. Allow
	enough depth for both the wall box and the cables. You may need to install
	the cables into the wall or furniture before installing the controller. If using an
	electrical box to wall mount the controller, locate a stud to which the box will
	be attached.
2.	Use the appropriate template and faceplate dimensions in appendix B,
	“Dimensions and Templates,” as a guide to measure and mark the area to cut
	out. If you are using a mounting bracket, refer to the template that came with
	the bracket.
3.	Cut out the opening in the wall or furniture.

Replacing the faceplate

You can replace the provided plastic faceplate with an optional metal one — the MLM 52 1GWP one-gang metal faceplate (part #70-528-02 or -03) or the MLM 52 VC two-gang metal faceplate (part # 70-538-02 or -03), both of which are available in black or white. You may also wish to replace your plastic faceplate with one of a different color (two plastic faceplates are provided, one black and one white).

To replace the faceplate,

1.Hold the MLC face down. Use an Extron Tweeker or a small Philips screwdriver to remove the three attachment screws (marked a in the diagram at right) from the back of the MLC, and keep them to replace later.

CAUTION

If installing a metal faceplate, do not remove the screws from the front of the faceplate.

2.Lift the MLC off the faceplate.

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

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

Refer to the MLM 52 1GWP and/or the MLM 52 VC user’s guides for further information on faceplates for the MLC 52.
