The communication module installs over the logic module. The installation is the same for all
communication modules regardless of communication type.
The logic module must be attached to a PanelView Plus display module before you attach the
communication module.

WARNIN G: Explosion Hazard
Do not connect or disconnect any communication cable with power applied to this device or
any device on a network. An electrical arc could cause an explosion in hazardous location
installations. Be sure power is removed or the area is known to be nonhazardous before
proceeding.
ATTENTION: Work in a static-free environment and wear a properly grounded electrostatic
discharge (ESD) wristband. Do not touch the communication module connector or its internal
circuitry to avoid ESD.
Follow these steps to install a new communication module.
1. Disconnect power from the terminal.
2. If the display module is removed from the panel, set the terminal, display side down, on a
clean, flat, stable surface.
Logic module might look different depending on catalog number.
3. Position the communication module over the logic module so that the connector on the
bottom of the communication module aligns with the connector on the logic module.
4. To prevent ESD between the modules, allow the communication module to touch the
logic module before making the connection.

5. Push down on the communication module until the connectors are seated.
6. Tighten the four screws that
secure the communication
module to the logic module
to a torque of 0.58 N•m
(5…7 lb•in).
Replace a Communication Module
Follow these steps to replace a communication module.
1. Disconnect power from the terminal.
2. Disconnect communication cables from the module.
WARNI NG: Explosion Hazard
Do not connect or disconnect any communication cable with power applied to this device or
any device on a network. An electrical arc could cause an explosion in hazardous location
installations. Be sure power is removed or the area is known to be nonhazardous before
proceeding.
3. Remove the four screws that secure the communication module.
4. Carefully lift the communication module away from the logic module.
5. Install the new communication module by following steps 3…6 under Install a
Communication Module on page 3.
