4. If the installation does not require a NEMA 4X

seal, tighten the four screws with the Phillips

screwdriver just enough to eliminate the

spacing between the rubber gasket and the

mounting panel.
For a NEMA 4X seal, tighten the four screws

until the gap between the bezel and panel

surface is .020 in. maximum. (See figure 11.1b).

Make sure that you cannot move the controller

back and forth in the cutout. If you can, you do

not have a proper seal. Do not over tighten.

Over tightening could damage the the

mounting bracket.

Removing the Series F4 Controller

The controller can be removed most easily by

disengaging the mounting bracket hooks and

pushing the controller forward through the panel.

Be ready to support it as it slides forward through

the panel.
Tools required: one #2 Phillips screwdriver, one flat-

head screwdriver and some means of supporting

the controller as it slides out the front of the panel.

1. Remove all the wiring connectors from the back

of the controller. Using the Phillips screwdriver,

unscrew the four screws on the mounting

bracket (two on top, two on bottom) until the

tips are completely retracted into the shafts.

2. Slide the tip of a flat screwdriver between the

case and the center top side of the mounting

bracket. Rotate the screwdriver 90 degrees,

stretching the bracket away from the case so

the hooks on the bracket disengage from the

slots on the case. Hold the bracket and press

the controller forward slightly to prevent the

disengaged hooks from snapping back into the

slots.

3. Repeat this operation to disengage the hooks on

the bottom side of the mounting bracket.

4. Press with one or two fingers on the lower half

of the back of the unit so that the controller

slides forward through the panel. Hold the

bracket steady; do not pull back. Be ready to

support the controller as it comes through the

front panel. Remove the mounting brackets and

retention collar from the back side of the panel.
