IGWiPS200-1
Each module has a moveable, spring-loaded mounting lip to assist in mounting a module, sliding a module along the
DIN rail, and removing a module from the DIN rail. This lip has a slotted tab so the blade of a small screwdriver can
be inserted and the lip levered away from the rail.
Figure 4 Module Features
To mount a row of up to 8 modules on a DIN rail:
1. Interconnect the modules by mating the bus connectors.
2. Hook the fixed mounting lips, see Figure 4, on the DIN rail.
3. Press the assembly onto the DIN rail. The spring-loaded mounting lips will snap onto the rail. Do not use
excessive force.
4. A transceiver is supplied with a bus connector cover, shown at right. Place the cover over the
exposed male bus connectors at one end of a group of modules.
To add a module to a row:
1. Note the gender of the installed module’s bus connector.
2. Orient the module and hook the module’s fixed mounting lip on the DIN rail.
3. Press the module against the DIN rail until the spring-loaded mounting lip snaps onto the rail.
4. Slide the module to one side until the bus connector mates with the adjacent module. A module will easily slide
on the DIN rail if the spring-loaded lip is levered away from the rail.
5. As required, place a bus connector cover (supplied with a transceiver) over the exposed male bus connectors at
one end of a group of modules.
To remove a module from the DIN rail:
1. Separate the module to be removed from adjacent modules. To move a module, use a small straight-slot
screwdriver to lever the spring loaded mounting lip slightly away from the rail and slide the module along the
DIN rail until the bus connectors separate. Be sure the bus connectors on both sides of the module to be
removed are fully disengaged from adjacent modules.
2. On the module to be removed, lever the moveable, spring-loaded mounting lip away from the DIN rail. Then
pull the module from the DIN rail.
