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.

Using the Communication Module with a 2706-P22R Display
The 2706-P22R InView panel-mount display can be used with a 2706-PxP
communication module. The module is mounted on a DIN rail inside the enclosure
in which the 2706-P22R display is mounted. This maintains the NEMA 4x, 12, or 13
rating. The 2706-PxP communication module also requires a separate 24V dc power
supply. This module does not receive power from the InView display.
Follow these steps to mount and connect the communication module.
ATTENTION
Hazardous voltage. Contact with high voltage may cause death or serious
injury. Always disconnect power to the InView display prior to servicing.
1. Disconnect power to the enclosure.
2. Mount the DIN rail somewhere in the enclosure, near the 2706-P22R display.
3. Snap the communication module to the DIN rail and lock the latches.
4. Connect the user-supplied network cable to the communication module.
