Panel Mounting
Mount the module to a panel using two screws per module. Use M4 or #8
panhead screws. Mounting screws are required on every module.
Panel Mounting Using the Dimensional Template
Panel Mounting Procedure Using Modules as a Template
The following procedure lets you use the assembled modules as a template for
drilling holes in the panel. If you have sophisticated panel mounting
equipment, you can use the dimensional template provided on page 34. Due to
module mounting hole tolerance, it is important to follow these procedures:
1. On a clean work surface, assemble no more than three modules.
2. Using the assembled modules as a template, carefully mark the center of
all module-mounting holes on the panel.
3. Return the assembled modules to the clean work surface, including any
previously mounted modules.
4. Drill and tap the mounting holes for the recommended M4 or #8 screw.
5. Place the modules back on the panel, and check for proper hole
alignment.
6. Attach the modules to the panel using the mounting screws.
7. Repeat steps 1…6 for any remaining modules.

NOTE: All dimensions are in mm (inches).
Hole spacing tolerance: ±0.04 mm (0.016 in.).
TIP If mounting more modules, mount only the last one of
this group and put the others aside. This reduces
remounting time during drilling and tapping of the
next group.
