2.3 Front Panel
All access to Master Station modules is made from the front of the unit after removing the protective cov-
er. To remove the cover, simply grasp the sides and pull out with a slight rocking motion. Tether strips on
the ends of the cover are available to keep it linked to the chassis when it has been removed from its in-
stalled position. The tethers allow the cover to rest just below the front panel during service work.

(Representative arrangement; Module types vary based on product configuration)
Master Station modules are factory installed and cabled. All modules are installed on slide-in assemblies
and secured to the chassis with knurled fasteners. The illustration below shows the modules installed in a
redundant configuration. For a non-redundant configuration, blank plates are used in place of the redun-
dant power supply and radio modules, and a non-redundant version of the Alarm/Relay module will be
installed. The table that follows lists the module types available as of the date of publication.
