CHQ-ADAPTOR 
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 
Introduction
The CHQ-ADAPTOR is designed to allow the “Smart-Fix“ range of CHQ Modules to be 
housed in existing enclosures originally designed for the first generation CHQ-OEM 
Modules by modifying the ‘footprint’ of the unit. 
 
When disassembling the "Smart-Fix“ CHQ Module in preparation for mounting onto the 
Adaptor please be aware that the device features a printed circuit board (PCB) which 
contains electro-static sensitive components. Observe precautions for handling these 
components to avoid damage to the unit. 
Assembling the Unit
Locate one of the retaining clips on the 
side edge of the PCB cover on the CHQ 
Module. 
Using a small screw driver, carefully push 
the clip inwards whilst lifting the PCB 
cover upwards (see Fig 1). When the 
PCB cover is removed, the PCB will be 
visible. 
Hold the PCB by the plastic terminal 
blocks (see Fig 2) and carefully remove 
from the CHQ Module housing. 
Place the PCB into the CHQ Adaptor 
ensuring the loop cable connectors sit 
within the correct cut- away at the bottom 
edge of the raised section of the adaptor 
(see Fig 3 overleaf).

Take the PCB cover originally removed 
from the CHQ Module and position over 
the PCB. 
Ensure the plastic lugs on the inside 
edge of the PCB cover (opposite end to 
the holes for the retaining clips) are 
engaged in their respective holes. The 
retaining clips on the adaptor will now 
be lined up with their corresponding 
holes on the PCB cover (see Fig 4 
overleaf). 
Push the two parts together until the 
retaining clips engage. 
Wire the CHQ Module as per the 
installation instructions.
