Unscrew the 4 off M6 screws (5.0mm A/F hexagon key) holding the cover assembly to the base. The cover screws

are retained in the cover assembly for ease of installation. Gently lift the cover assembly away from the base of the

enclosure to gain access to the interior.

Once termination is complete, carefully replace the cover assembly back onto the base of the enclosure, avoiding

damage to the mating surfaces. Ensure the o-ring is correctly seated in its groove during re-assembly. Evenly

tighten the 4 off M6 screws (5.0mm A/F hexagon key). Ensure the required gap (0.10mm Max.) is maintained

beween the cover and the base.
