Otherwise there will not be enough room for the display and bracket. The PTO shaft is long enough to allow it to be relocated but there will not be enough room for both the knob and skirt. The skirt is not needed for use with the digital display. The photos show the basic mechanics of the mounting. The display is bolted to an aluminum bracket using 2-56 hardware.
Exact location is important for a perfect alignment with the front panel.
The bracket can be made from a larger piece of aluminum angle or it can be pieced together with smaller angle and flat sheet. The idea here is to completely cover the counter and display to provide electrical shielding and reduce the possibility of introducing unwanted noise into the system. Use ferrite beads, shielded cable, and by pass capacitors on all leads except the INJ input to the counter. Use shielded cable for the INJ lead too, but leave the bypass cap and bead off. Cable made of teflon insulation is highly recommended.
