You have to take 4 (I think) screws out of the bottom and lift the cover off the gecko box. The main board in the 201 and 210 are the same, the 210 has an extra board plugged in on top of the main board.

If that is true, then the only thing you can do requires surgery inside. I looked on the Gecko web pages, but the older manuals don't have the NEMA 42 alterations. Jon |
