Using flexible printed circuit (FPC) connectors
When servicing an indicator, flexible printed circuits (FPCs) may need to be disconnected and connected. Ensure that these
guidelines are followed:
• Do not force the FPC out of the FPC connector. They can be easily damaged.
• The tracks on the FPCs have a pitch of only 0.5 mm (1/50") and are only on one side of the strip. It is therefore critical that
they are inserted straight and in the correct orientation.
The FPC used for the LCD has a locking bar on the FPC connector.
The other FPCs do not have a locking bar.
To disconnect and reconnect the LCD FPC
To disconnect the LCD FPC:
1 Place fingernails underneath the black locking bar on the FPC connector.
2 Lift up the locking bar up to open the lock.

3 With your fingertips on either side of the FPC, gently slide the FPC out of the connector body without bending or crumpling
the FPC.
To connect the LCD FPC:
1 Ensure that the black locking bar is open, then gently slide the FPC into the FPC connector body. Ensure that the FPC is
connected properly (straight and correct way around). The FPC should be straight without any bends or folds.
2 Lower the locking bar to close the lock.
