The following installation instructions cover how to install the MCU-005 Control Unit.
Before installation, check the notes below regarding running of the cables.
The MCU-005 is designed to be flush-mounted in a console or panel.
Note regarding running of the cables
To reduce stress on the connectors, prevent accidental disconnection and also to prevent water
intrusion, make sure that the wiring at the rear of the control unit meets the following recommendations.
• Cables should not be run upwards from the units. Make sure the cable are run downwards.
• Cables should be bundled together with sufficient slack to allow service and maintenance.
• Bundled cables should be secured in a manner that prevents stress on the connectors, caused
by heave and pitch.
The figures below show examples of cabling, along with the above recommendations.

Cables should not be routed in
a way that allows moisture or
water to drip into the unit.
MCU-005
Cables should not be hung
freely. This causes stress
on the connectors and may
cause disconnections.

Cables should be bundled
with a wire-tie and secured
against the inside of the
console or to a bulkhead.
There should be enough
slack in the cables to allow
service and maintenance.

How to remove the front panel after installation
You may need to remove the front panel for maintenance or service. To remove the front panel,
follow the procedure below. Take care that each step is followed correctly to prevent damage to
the equipment. Do not remove the front panel by any other methods.
1.Insert the panel remover to the bottom-left indent of the front panel.
2.Gently tilt the panel remover tab away from the front panel. The bottom-left corner of the panel rises
slightly.
3.Using the same method, raise the bottom-right corner of the panel.
4.Insert the panel remover to the notch on either the left or right-hand side of the panel.
5.Gently tilt the panel remover tab away from the front panel. The side of the panel rises slightly.
Using the same method, raise the opposite side of the panel.
6.Use the panel remover in the same manner to raise the top-end of the panel.
7.Use your hands to detach the front panel. Grip the panel at either side to detach it.
