1. Remove the end plate(s) [A] from the Control Module. Depressing the locking clips [C] with a
small screwdriver through the slot [B] on the top and bottom of the module and pulling them
apart does this. See figure 2.1
2. Align the locking clips of the module being connected with the slots on the module being
connected to.
3. Press modules firmly together, there will be an audible “snap” when the locking clips are fully
engaged.
4. Reinstall the end plates at the ends of the LYNX System. They are designed to fit either end.
5. You are now ready to mount your LYNX System to a panel or DIN Rail using the optional
hardware kit.
! WARNING! Exercise caution when removing end plates
or separating LYNX System modules! Internal
component damage may occur if the screwdriver is
inserted too far into the slots!
