Install the Mounting Base
To install the mounting base on the DIN rail, proceed as follows:
1. Position the mounting base vertically above the installed units (adapter, power
supply or existing module).
2. Slide the mounting base down allowing the interlocking side pieces to engage the
adjacent module or adapter.
3. Press firmly to seat the mounting base on the DIN rail. The mounting base will
snap into place.
ATTENTION: This product is grounded through the DIN rail to chassis ground.
Use zinc-plated, yellow-chromate steel DIN rail to assure proper grounding. The
use of other DIN rail materials, for example, aluminum or plastic, that can
corrode, oxidize, or are poor conductors, can result in improper or intermittent
grounding.
Secure DIN rail to mounting surface approximately every 200 mm (7.8 in.) and
use end-anchors appropriately.
ATTENTION: Do not discard the end cap supplied with an adapter or
communication interface module.
Use this end cap to cover the exposed interconnections on the last mounting
base on the DIN rail. Failure to do so could result in equipment damage or injury
from electric shock.
