Installing 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.

4. To remove the mounting base from the DIN rail, remove the module,

and use a small bladed screwdriver to rotate the base locking screw to
a vertical position. This releases the locking mechanism.

5. Then lift straight up to remove.

Installing the I/O Module

The module can be installed before, or after base installation. Make sure that
the mounting base is correctly keyed before installing the module into the
mounting base. In addition, make sure the mounting base locking screw is
positioned horizontal referenced to the base.

1. Using a bladed screwdriver, rotate the keyswitch (2) on the mounting

base clockwise until the number required for the type of module being
installed aligns with the notch in the base.

WARNING

When you insert or remove the module while
backplane power is on, an electrical arc can occur. This
could cause an explosion in hazardous location
installations.

Be sure that power is removed or the area is
nonhazardous before proceeding. Repeated electrical
arcing causes excessive wear to contacts on both the
module and its mating connector. Worn contacts may
create electrical resistance that can affect module
operation.
