Removing / Replacing a Fusion Surface Module
Scope
This article describes how to remove or replace a Fusion console module. This can also be applied to Element as the hardware is very similar.
Step 1: Remove Retaining Screws
- Use the 2.5 mm hex wrench to remove the retaining screws at the top of the module requiring service:
Step 2: Dismount the Module
- Lift the module at the top, tilting it upward, and pull the locating tab at the bottom of the module from the mounting channel.
Step 3: Disconnect Cabling
- Locate and disconnect the RJ45 patch cable(s) (-1- ) that connects the module to the Fusion's Interface board.
- Locate the ribbon cable that connects the module to its overbridge display (if present). Gently press the “ears” on each side of the board connector (-2-) to release the cable.
- Make note of the position of the CANBUS ID switch (-3-)
NOTE: Position F is reserved for a hardware Test Mode. Position 0 is reserved for the Master Module for the console. For more info about CANBUS IDs, click here.
Replace the module
- The module is replaced by performing the above steps in reverse.
- Be sure to set the CANBUS ID of the replacement module to the same value the old one had.
