Installing Your Controller 2-15

To install your base unit on the DIN rail:

1. Mount your DIN rail. (Make sure that the placement of the base

unit on the DIN rail meets the recommended spacing
requirements, see Controller Spacing on page 2-12. Refer to the
mounting template from the inside back cover of the MicroLogix
1500 Programmable Controller Base Units Installation
Instructions, publication 1764-IN001.

2. Hook the top slot over the DIN rail.

3. While pressing the base unit down against the top of the rail,

snap the bottom of the base unit into position. Ensure DIN
latches are in the up (secured) position.

4. Leave the protective debris strip attached until you are finished

wiring the base unit and any other devices.

To remove your base unit from the DIN rail:

1. Place a flat-blade screwdriver in the DIN rail latch at the bottom

of the base unit.

2. Holding the base unit, pry downward on the latch until the latch

locks in the open position. Repeat this procedure with the
second latch. This releases the base unit from the DIN rail.
