DIN Rail Mounting
The module can be mounted using the following DIN rails: 35 x 7.5 mm x 1 mm
(EN 50 022 - 35 x 7.5)
.
Before mounting the module on a DIN rail, use a flat-blade screwdriver in the DIN rail latch and
pry it downwards until it is in the unlatched position.
1. Hook the top of the DIN rail mounting area of the module onto the DIN rail, and then
press the bottom until the module snaps onto the DIN rail.
2. Push the DIN rail latch back into the latched position.
Use DIN rail end anchors (Allen-Bradley part number 1492-EAJ35 or 1492-EAHJ35)
for vibration or shock environments.
To remove your module from the DIN rail, pry the DIN rail latch downwards until it is in the
unlatched position.
Panel Mounting
The preferred mounting method is to use two M4 (#8) per module. Hole spacing tolerance:
±0.4 mm (0.016 in.). For mounting dimensions, refer to Micro830 and Micro850
Programmable Controller User Manual, publication
2080-UM002 .
Follow these steps to install your module using mounting screws.
1. Place the module next to the controller against the panel where you are mounting it.
Make sure the controller and module are spaced properly.
2. Mark drilling holes through the mounting screw holes and mounting feet then remove
the module.
3. Drill the holes at the markings, then replace the module and mount it.
Leave the protective debris strip in place until you are finished wiring the module and
any other devices.
TIP For environments with greater vibration and shock concerns, use the panel mounting
method, instead of DIN rail mounting.
ATTENTION: This product is grounded through the DIN rail to chassis ground. Use zinc plated
yellow-chromate steel DIN rail to assure proper grounding. The use of other DIN rail materials
(for example, aluminum or plastic) that can corrode, oxidize, or are poor conductors, can result
in improper or intermittent grounding. Secure DIN rail to mounting surface approximately every
200 mm (7.8 in.) and use end-anchors appropriately.
