Change out the Beacon PCB

Step 1:

Remove the top four dimmer modules from the rack to allow access to the PCB.

Step 2:

Remove the two screws that hold the beacon PCB in the face of the rack.

Step 3:

Pull the PCB down from inside the rack
case. (The wire harness will only allow a

few inches of movement).

Step 4:

Note the orientation of the connector and

unplug the wire harness from the old

beacon PCB.

Step 5:

Attach the wire harness to the new

beacon PCB making sure the connector

is in the same orientation as before.

Step 6:

Install the new beacon PCB (ETC Part #

were damaged during the removal process).

Finishing Touches

Step 1:

Carefully remove old Sensor+ label from the front of the door and discard.

flat & smooth and properly adhered to

the rack door.

Repeat the above steps for the remainder of connected racks.

Be sure to use a properly sized screw driver (#2 Phillips) and a good amount of

force as these screws are kept in place with a thread locker. Don’t worry about

damaging the existing screws (replacements are provided) or shearing off the

heads of the screws (the screw shanks are threaded into the PCB’s standoffs).
