Module Assembly

Please Note: The VSet Drop-in console module is designed to be retrofitted into non-Axia consoles, therefore the metalwork is not supplied by Telos and may vary between manufacturers. Some dimensional drawings are included in the Appendix of this manual. If needed, 3D *.step files can be provided to aid the design of the metalwork to be used.

Because this module is without a grounded enclosure, it can be damaged by static electricity. Please be sure to take precautionary measures to avoid electrostatic discharge while assembling and disassembling the module. Grounding to the module is done via the screws, standoffs, and nuts holding the module together. These must be connected to the console’s grounding system, preferably via the metalwork.

Disassembly

In order to install the metalwork, the module will first need to be disassembled.

Before disassembling the module, be sure that all Ethernet cables and PoE are disconnected. Also, be sure that the environment is static-free.

Do not allow the boards to shift or twist once the screws are removed

  1. Locate the inter-board connector found behind the Drop, Hold, Next and Dump buttons

  2. Remove the eight screws from the rear of the CPU board.  Remove with care to not damage the inter-board connector or its traces.

  3. Once the boards are separated, remove the eight standoffs and hex nuts from the switchboard.

Re-assembly

When reassembling, it's critical that board to board spacing be maintained at 12mm when fully assembled to allow for proper connection of the inter-board connector.

The diagram above shows metalwork that has been manufactured with PEMs (or standoffs) mounted to the rear of the panel.

In this configuration, start by fastening the metalwork to the switchboard using the 8 hex standoffs that were removed earlier.

Slight alignment adjustments may be required to make sure the buttons operate freely. Once a proper fit is established and the standoffs are tight, align the inter-board connectors on the switchboard and the CPU board and snap them together.

Again, a word of caution that once the boards are snapped together, take great care to not allow the boards to shift or twist.  This will damage the connectors and traces rendering the module unusable.

Continue by fastening the CPU board to the switchboard with the eight machine screws that were removed earlier.

If through holes for screws are drilled into the metalwork instead of PEMs, the eight supplied hex standoffs and nuts can be reversed and fastened to the CPU board. Longer M3 screws and sleeves will be needed to maintain the 18mm total spacing between the top surface of the metalwork and the top surface of the switchboard. Also, if the thickness of the metalwork needs to exceed 1.59mm to match that of the console, mortises or pockets will need to be cut into the rear of the panel to allow for proper protrusion of the OLED displays. See additional drawings in the appendix.
