provides a platform for the installation of up to 8 (two rows
of 4) standard monitor and/or control modules. Wiring and
mounting requirements of the modules are reduced by using the MB500.
The MB500 will support any combination of monitor and
control modules on one panel, but a combination of powerlimited and nonpower-limited modules is NOT permitted.
The monitor and control modules used with the MB500
meet the same electrical specifications as the individual
M500MB, M500CH, and M502M.

Mounting
1) Select the desired mounting location in a cabinet and
measure the mounting hole centers. The MB500 is
equipped with 3 sets of mounting holes for use depending on the mounting configuration:
A) 19 inch EIA standard with 18.312 inch (46.5 cm) cen-
ter-to-center mounting holes for horizontal mounting
B) 19.5 inch (49.5 cm) center-to-center mounting holes
for horizontal mounting
C) 5 inch (12.7 cm) center-to-center mounting holes for
vertical mounting
2) Hold the MB500 in place, mark the appropriate set of
mounting holes, and drill holes (if needed) in the
mounting surface.
3) Drive screws in place, allowing room for the MB500 to
slide over the screw heads.
4) Tighten screws to secure the MB500 to the mounting
surface.
WARNING
Remove power before installing modules and wiring the
MB500 panel.
Address Verification
Before installing the modules onto the panel, use the label
in position A (see Figure 3A) to record the type for each
module. Circle C (control) or M (monitor) to indicate the
type of module and record the address on the space provided.
