Mounting the XADC and Panel Remotely
To mount the XADC and panel remotely:
1. Slide the panel into the mounting cutout (12 in. × 8 in. – 305 mm × 203 mm).
2. Fasten the panel to the mounting surface using 6 × #6 or #8 pan head, round
head or washer head screws suitable for mounting the panel onto
particleboard or wood.
3. Install the panel faceplate and tighten the center screw (do not overtighten as
this may cause stripping of the screw threads).
4. Install the DC fuse cover.
5. Follow the instructions in “Mounting the XADC” on page 15 to mount the
XADC.
