Mounting the Controller

This equipment is suitable for Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D or
non-hazardous locations only, when product or packaging is marked.

Explosion Hazard:

Substitution of components may impair suitability for Class I, Division 2.

Be careful of metal chips when drilling mounting holes for your controller.
Drilled fragments that fall into the controller could cause damage. Do not
drill holes above a mounted controller if the protective wrap is removed.

The controller should be mounted horizontally within an enclosure, using a DIN rail
or mounting screws.
