Notes
• Verify length and handing of new baseplate assembly matches old baseplate assembly before proceeding with disassembly.
• If the device you are replacing has been cut to a non-standard length, refer to device instruction for cut length to determine if new
retrot baseplate assembly will t (new baseplate may be slightly longer than old baseplate).
• If existing application, disconnect power source before working on device.
• Consult factory if you are attempting to retrot 1490 device that originally was not electried.
