INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Each G3CN option card comes with a cable for communications and three
screws for attaching the option card to the inside of the G3 operator interface's
rear cover.
To install the option card, remove all power and I/O communications cables
from the unit. The G3 operator interface literature contains instructions for
removing the rear cover. Refer to the “Battery & Time Keeping” section.
Using the three screws provided, connect the option card to the rear cover as
shown in Figure 1.
Connect the cable from the option card to CN11 on the main board of the G3
operator interface as shown in Figure 2. Be sure both ends of the cable are firmly
seated into their appropriate connector housings.
Carefully replace the rear cover by reversing the instructions for removing the
rear cover.
THE OPTION CARD LABEL
Place the option card label on your rear cover in the space indicated by the

Caution: The option and main circuit boards contain static
sensitive components. Before handling the cards, discharge
static charges from your body by touching a grounded bare
metal object. Ideally, handle the cards at a static controlled clean
workstation. Also, handle the cards by the edges only. Dirt, oil,
or other contaminants that may contact the cards can adversely
affect circuit operation.
Warning: Depending upon the G3 operator interface, high voltage
may be present inside the operator interface. Be sure to remove
all power before removing the rear cover of the operator interface.
