Once the bottom of the 6K8 is rotated out, the DIN-Rail latch is not engaged and the 6K8

can be moved up and out, free of the DIN-Rail mounting..

The picture below is a front / right-side view of a DIN-Rail mounted 6K8. It

shows vertical mounting of Magnum 6K8 on a DIN-Rail track for proper convection

cooling of the unit. Note that there is air space in the rear, as the 6K8 unit is held out

from the rear of the panel by the mounting brackets. The 6K8 design uses the case for

cooling (patent pending), and needs to be mounted vertically with airflow space in the

front, rear, and sides.
