Install a Communication Module
Follow these steps to install a new communication module.
1. Disconnect power from the terminal.
2. If the display module is removed from the panel, set the terminal, display side down, on a
clean, flat, stable surface.
3. Position the communication module over the logic module so that the connector on the
bottom of the communication module aligns with the connector on the logic module.
4. To prevent ESD between the modules, allow the communication module to touch the
logic module before making the connection.
WARNING: Explosion Hazard
Do not connect or disconnect any communication cable with power applied to this device or
any device on a network. An electrical arc could cause an explosion in hazardous location
installations. Be sure power is removed or the area is known to be nonhazardous before
proceeding.
ATTENTION: Work in a static-free environment and wear a properly grounded electrostatic
discharge (ESD) wristband. Do not touch the communication module connector or its internal
circuitry to avoid ESD.
TIP Logic module might look different depending on catalog number.
