CLS Mounting Procedure

NOTE

Mount the controller before you mount the terminal block
or do any wiring. The controller's placement affects place-
ment and wiring considerations for the other components
of your system.

Mounting Environment

Install the CLS in a location free from excessive (>50

C) heat, dust, and

unauthorized handling. The controller can mount in any panel material
up to 0.2" thick. (Make sure there is enough clearance for mounting
brackets and terminal blocks; the controller extends 6.2" behind the
panel face and the screw brackets extend 0.5" above and below it.)

Steps:

Cut a hole 3.630+0.020" long by 1.800+0.020" tall in the panel.
This figure shows the mounting hole. (The figure is not a template.)
Cut carefully; the 0.020" (0.5 mm) tolerances don't allow much
room for error. Use a punch, nibbler, or jigsaw, and file the edges of
the hole.

Insert the controller into the hole through the front of the panel.

Screw the top and bottom clips in place: insert the screw's lip into
the cutout in the metal housing just behind the front panel. Tighten
the screw.

If you expect much panel vibration, use a rear support for the CLS
and its interconnecting cables.
