of the enclosure and two on the back
panel, must be removed. A 5/64-inch hex
driver is required. The cover can then
be carefully separated from the chassis,
remaining attached by means of a flexible
cable assembly. This “flex-cable” assem-

assembly with the board assembly that
contains the pushbuttons and LED indi-
cators. Ensure that the flex cable is not
damaged while the Model 233 is being
customized. For easier access, the push-
button/LED board assembly can also be
easily removed.

Pushbutton Backlighting
For special applications, provision as been
made to allow illumination (“backlighting”)
of the three pushbutton switches. This
may prove useful for applications where
adequate room lighting is not available.
It can also serve in custom Model 233
