How to detach display module from power module of Shelly Wall Display?


Recommended Posts

Hello,

regarding the Shelly Wall Display: How do I remove the display module from the power module without breaking anything?

When I attached these module together, I heard a click. Obviously, there are locking tabs that lock these modules together. I don't know if you have to somehow manipulate these tabs but they are inaccessible when the device is mounted on (or rather in) the wall, anyway.

Note, I've already removed the screw at the bottom of the display module.

Any ideas besides "pull hard but carefully"?

Thanks
Dan

Sorry - there are no locking tabs! The plug-in connector (upper half) and the screw (lower rim) hold the two parts together. Best practise is to loosen the screw and untighten the display part by use of a lever (wooden or plastic stick).

Maybe "locking tab" was the wrong term. Is "latching nose" or "locking detent" better? I'm not a native English speaker.

Whatever is the correct term, clearly there are 4 latching means provided on the side of the round recess of the power module to engage into recesses on the display module.

With that said, I tried again and applied just enough force to unfasten the modules without breaking anything. Now accessible, I bent the latching means so that they hopefully no longer lock with so much pressure.

first loosen the screw, then apply pressure?

I guess there's always the risk of breaking something. Be careful.

To detach, first remove the screw at the bottom of the frame, then pull and pray that you don't rip the power module from the wall box instead.
