Removing/Replacing Button Labels
The button labels on NOVARA keypads are acetate inserts that fit inside the Key Caps installed on the
pushbuttons. In order to change the inserts, the key caps need to be removed. Removing the Key Caps on
NOVARA keypads requires disassembling the keypad, so that they can be accessed through the rear of the
faceplate:
Disassembling the NOVARA Keypad
This procedure will require a Phillips-head screwdriver and a 5mm wrench.
Detailed exploded views of each NOVARA keypad type are included on the reverse.
1. On the rear panel of the NOVARA keypad, remove the screws that secure the metal enclosure to the
faceplate.
8-Button keypads use 4 screws
16-Button keypads use 6 screws
2. Remove the back enclosure to expose the circuit boards, mounted on stand-offs.
3. Use a 5mm wrench to remove the first set of 5mm stand-offs.
4. Carefully pull the top circuit board straight up and off the standoffs.
This action also disengages two 4-pin connectors between the two boards.
Be careful not to bend the pins.
Note the orientation of the board - it must be oriented in the same direction when replaced.
The top is indicated by an UP arrow at the top center of the board.
Remove power from the NOVARA keypad, and discharge any static electricity from
your body by touching a grounded metal object before performing the following steps.
