There was another problem with the CLtd. Interface that they had a fix for. I assume the Cltd interface is mounted first, then the expansion box. There should be an adapter that goes between then. Then, I don't remember what, you may have to cut a trace and jumper it. I'll try to find the documentation for both the grounding and the mod to the interface and email it to you. It might take time. Hopefully someone will beat me to it. Also, you might need faster pals. I sold my interface so I might not still have the info. It is available on Genie though. Good luck, John
