There are no visible fixing screws because the top snaps into place – speeding up installation and servicing. The top can be re-opened using a set of push-in opening tools (accessory). The large recess in the top can accommodate a touchscreen, display or membrane keypad.

Electronic components are mounted in the top part. A snap-in phenolic resin hardboard protection plate (accessory) safeguards the electronics from the risk of damage during installation and servicing.
