DESCRIPTION AND INSTALLATION OF OPTIONAL CONTROL BOX PANELS

A number of Optional Features are available for use with Power Feed 10 Dual. Some Installation informa- tion is provided in this section, REFER TO THE INSTRUCTIONS THAT COME WITH EACH KIT FOR DETAILED INFORMATION REGARDING INSTALLA- TION.

OPTIONAL PANELS FOR CONTROL BOX

All optional panels for the control box are described in the ACCESSORIES section of this manual along with their installation instructions as are all other pieces of optional equipment.

The Power Feed Control Box is designed to accept three control panels, two ʻlargeʼ and one “small” pan- els are needed to make up a complete control panel for the Control Box. Panels can be mounted in one of three positions: Upper, middle and lower.

Each Power Feed 10 Dual is shipped with a Control/Display (CD) panel, a large panel, installed in the upper position, and a CV/Gouge (CV/G) panel (another large panel) in the lower position. The middle position has a Head Select (HS) panel.

The CD panel must be installed in every Control Box. The small panel can be the Head Select panel or a Dual Procedure / Memory panel. The remaining large panel can be one of the following: CV/G, M, MX2, or MSP2. The features of each are described in the Operation section of this manual.

There are extra mounting holes in the upper and mid- dle positions which allow the upper two panels to be interchanged. (Instead of the upper, middle and lower panels being large, small and large, they could be installed in the order small, large, large.) This may be done for convenience sake, or to take advantage of the Large Security Door option.

Note: The CD panel must be installed in either the middle or the upper position; its harness is not long enough to allow installation in the lower position.

GENERAL PANEL INSTALLATION GUIDELINES:

Installation or removal of any panel can be done with only a Phillips screwdriver after the system power is turned off. To remove a panel, remove the two screws holding it in place, remove the push-on chassis ground wire and remove the harness connection to the Control Box main PC board. To install any panel, reverse that process. Turn power back on when com- plete (option panels are only recognized at power up. Do not install panels with the power on.) Note that removal or installation of any panel may also require the removal of the other panel, in order to have easy access to the PC board connectors. Detailed installa- tion instructions are shipped with each option panel.
