Figure 2-2. DIN-Rail Adapter Bracket
Remove the panel mounting plate from the back of the drive and attach the bracket to the
back of the drive using the screws provided. The drive and bracket can now be fixed to a
DIN rail by hooking the top of the bracket over the top of the DIN rail and gently pushing the
drive forward to engage the lower section of the bracket. Remove the bracket by inserting a
flat bladed screwdriver into the release slot to pull down the bottom of the bracket, releasing
it from the DIN rail.
Thermal Limitations
If you are using DIN rail mounting with natural convection airflow cooling and the drive is
working under continuous load, the maximum continuous output torque should be de-rated
by 10%. For example, using the drive for reel tensioning rather than point-to-point
applications may require torque de-rating when using DIN rail mounting.
