3.3  Opening the front cover 
Introduction 
The interfaces on the front side of the D4x5-2 and the CX32-2 have a cover. This is opened 
by swinging the front cover down; the interface connections are then accessible and can be 
wired.  
A hinge connects the front cover to the front of the housing. Once opened, the cover can be 
removed. The front cover is closed by swinging it up; it automatically locks by means of a 
hook at the top of the device housing. 
 
 
Note 
The cover of the D4x5-2 and CX32-2 can only be removed when it has been swung open 
through approx. 45°. 
 
Procedure for D4x5-2 and CX32-2 
1.  Release the latch at the top on the inside of the front cover by pushing down the hook 
(see the following figure). 
2.  Remove the front cover with a forward motion.
