4.9 Mounting the Pointe Controller
Pointe Controller units are intended to be mounted on a standard DIN rail. That
DIN rail can be a commercial DIN rail attached to any flat surface. It can also be
the DIN rail built into OptiLogic operator panels.
4.9.1 Mounting the Base on a DIN Rail
A DIN rail is simply a standard “U” shaped channel which is designed to be
mounted horizontally on any flat surface. DIN rail can be purchased at nearly any
electrical supply outlet.
There are a few standard DIN rail sizes available. Pictured below is a cross
sectional view of the standard 35 mm DIN rail the Pointe Controller base unit is
designed to clamp on:
The key dimensions are the 35mm overall width and a minimum 7.5mm depth.
The precise channel shape is not important.
