Refer to the Color Touch user guide of the version on the cabinet for the options that support the
External Return Bin.
Tools
The following tools are needed to install or mount the External Return Bin:
Nut driver (5/16", 11/32", and 1/4")

Installation Instructions
Setup
Before installing the ERB, change the cabling configuration if necessary, and perform cabinet
preparation.
Cable Assembly Configuration
If the ERB is to be installed on the right side of the cabinet, skip to “Cabinet Preparation” on
page 2-10.
If the ERB is to be installed on the left side of the cabinet, continue in this section to change the
cabling configuration.
1. Place the ERB on a flat clean surface.
2. Open the access door using both keys. Key #2204 unlocks the access door. Key #2202 overrides
the solenoid.
Figure 2-1. Unlock the access door
Important: The ERB cable assembly is configured to be installed on the right side of cabinets with the
cables leading to the back. If the ERB is to be installed on the left side of the cabinet, the cable assembly
must be switched to the left side. This avoids having to bend cables back across the ERB to reach the
back of the cabinet.

2-2 Installation Instructions
Setup

3. Lay the ERB down as shown in Figure 2-2, and unscrew the two 4-40 flat head fasteners from
under the ERB.
Figure 2-2. Unscrewing the fasteners
4. Turn the ERB upright and lift out both I/O cover plates.
Figure 2-3. Removing the I/O cover plates
5. Remove the PCB/solenoid metal mount.
a. Open the return door.
b. Push the pawl of the solenoid to the left.

c. Loosen, but do not remove, the two nuts on either side of the PCB/solenoid plate with a
5/16" nut driver.
Figure 2-5. Loosening the nuts on both sides of the PCB/solenoid plate
d. Maneuver the PCB/solenoid mount around the sheet metal tabs and nuts. Remove the
lower rim first.
Figure 2-6. Removing the PCB/solenoid mount
Under the PCB/solenoid mount is an internal cover to reduce the radiated emissions level.
6. Remove the RFI cover that is under the PCB/solenoid mount.
a. Loosen the two hex nuts on either side of the internal cover using a 5/16” nut driver or
socket.
Figure 2-7. Loosening hex nuts

8. Remove the gray PowerCom cable from the right side of the ERB and set it aside.
Figure 2-11. Removing the PowerCom cable
9. Squeeze and pull the black grommet to remove it from the opening.
10. Remove the black plug cover by pushing against the groove from the inside with a screwdriver.
Figure 2-12. Removing the plug cover
11. Thread the PowerCom cable through the rear cutout on the opposite side of the ERB. The
correct orientation of the cable assembly exiting from the left side of the ERB is shown in the
figure below.
Figure 2-13. PowerCom cable routing

12. Cover the gray PowerCom cable with the black grommet taken off in step 9. Squeeze the
grommet together and push through the double D cutout on the left side.
Figure 2-14. Securing the grommet around the PowerCom cable
13. Snap the plug cover into the left-side D cutout adjacent to the cable assembly. The plug covers
the opening which will be used for future hardware developments.
Figure 2-15. Snapping in the plug
14. Rotate the lower plates. The open side of the left lower plate should face left. The open side of
the right lower plate should face down. This allows the left cover plate to protect the cables
being routed out of the ERB. The right cover plates will seal the cable openings on the right
side of the ERB.
