Install the Linking Device
Install the linking device by using the following instructions.
Mount the Linking Device
Most applications require installation in an industrial enclosure (Pollution
Degree 2) to reduce the effects of electrical interference (Over Voltage
Category II) and environmental exposure. Locate your linking device as far as
possible from power lines, load lines, and other sources of electrical noise
such as hard-contact switches, relays, and AC motor drives. For more
information on proper grounding guidelines, see the Industrial Automation
Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, publication
.
ATTENTION
We do not recommend vertical mounting due to heat build-up considerations.
Be careful of metal chips when drilling mounting holes for your linking device
or other equipment within the enclosure or panel. Drilled fragments that fall
into the unit could cause damage.
