Caution
Modules may be damaged if they are not handled
correctly.
· Do not touch the electrical contacts of the modules.
· Observe the regulations for handling electrostatically

· Discharge yourself electrostatically before fitting or re
moving components in order to protect the components
against discharges of static electricity.

· Thespecified torquesmust beobserved.
· Screw connectionsmust befitted freeofoffset and

CPX terminals are supplied from the factory completely fitted.
It may be necessary
to fit or remove the sub−bases for the
following reasons:
for replacing theconnections
to simplify fitting the sensor plugs or cables.
It may be necessary
tofit or remove theelectronicmodules
for thefollowing reasons:
for changing thefunction of theI/Omodule
(e.g. CPX−8DE instead ofCPX−4DE)
for replacing defectiveelectronicmodules.

Fitting thesub−base:
1. Align the
