3-4 How to Install Your FLEX Ex Thermocouple/RTD/mV Module
1. Remove the cover plug in the male connector of the unit to
which you are connecting this terminal base unit.
2. Check to make sure that the 16 pins in the male connector on
the adjacent device are straight and in line so that the mating
female connector on this terminal base unit will mate correctly.
3. Make certain that the female flexbus connector is fully
retracted into the base unit.
4. Position the terminal base over the 35 x 7.5mm DIN rail A
(A-B pt. no. 199-DR1).
ATTENTION
!
Do not force the terminal base into the adjacent
modules. Forcing the units together can bend or
break the hook and allow the units to separate
and break communication over the backplane.
