InView Communication Modules 3

Power Supply Requirements

• The 2706-PxM and 2706-PxK modules are powered by the InView 2706-P4x,
2706-P7x, and 2706-P9x displays.

• The 2706-PxP module requires an external 24V ±25%, 1 A dc power supply
for use with the InView 2706-P22R panel mount display.

Mount the Communication Module to the 2706-P42 and 2706-P44 Displays

The InView communication module, catalog number 2706-PxM, is designed to
mount to the track of the InView 2706-P42 and 2706-P44 displays. The back plate of
the module has tabs for attaching to the track. Tighten mounting screws until they
bottom out against the back plate.
