NXC-ME260 Installation and Mounting Procedures
Mounting the ME260 into an NXS-NMS
1. Confirm the contents of the shipment box to verify that you have all specified parts. Refer to
the NXC-ME260 Specifications section on page 2 for more information about included and
optional accessories.
2. Carefully remove the NXS-NMS Master/Hub Module from the shipping box.

6. Slide the Master card along the lowest pair of internal guide slots within the NXS-NMS.
7. Secure the NXC-ME260 faceplate to the NXS-NMS by using a Phillips-head screwdriver to
turn the two faceplate securing screws in a clockwise direction.
8. Connect the 12 VDC power supply to the 2-pin PWR connector and apply power.
