Completing the Console Installation (P80)

Before you complete the final installation steps, double-check the connections you have made. Make sure that all cables are fully and securely connected, and that any unneeded cables are tied back properly.

To complete the installation:

1.Feed extra cable back into the neck tube.

2.Tilt the control console backward (toward yourself) until the tab on the top edge of its back plate slides along the top edge of the console mount and the screw holes align properly.

3.Insert the four ⁵₈-inch flat head screws through the holes in the console mount and thread them into the holes in the back plate on the console. Partially tighten the screws using a ⁵₈-inch hex wrench.

4.Line up the two small tabs at the top of the console’s back cover with the slots at the top of the opening in the console case. Insert the tabs into the slots.

5.Insert the remaining tabs on the back cover with the corresponding slots on the console case.

6.Press gently on the edges of the back cover to snap it into place.

Threading the Cable Assembly (P30 and P20)

Earlier in the installation, you threaded the necessary cables through the frame of the base unit and out the passthrough opening in the console mount. As you line up the back plate on the console with the console mount, you must make sure that the cable assembly passes correctly through the openings in both components.

Important: Before you begin the following procedure, remove the rear cover from the control console. Set the cover and its mounting hardware aside for later use.

To thread the cable assembly:

1.Make sure that as much of each cable as possible passes through the opening in the middle of the console mount on the base unit.

2.Position the console over the console mount.
