OUNTING

Mount the VWG in a location that allows clearance for wiring, servicing, and antenna
removal.

Environmental Requirements

Note the following requirements for the VWG mounting location:

 This product is intended for indoor use only. Do not expose the unit to ambient

conditions outside of the range of 0ºC (32

F) to 50

C (122

F) and relative humidity

outside the range 5% to 95% non-condensing (pollution degree 1).

 If mounting inside an enclosure, that enclosure should be designed to keep the

unit within its required operating range considering 20-watt dissipation by the
controller. This is especially important if the controller is mounted inside an
enclosure with other heat producing equipment.

 Do not mount the unit:

– In an area where excessive moisture, corrosive fumes, or explosive vapors

are present.

–

Where vibration or shock is likely to occur.

– In a location subject to electrical noise. This includes the proximity of

large electrical contractors, electrical machinery, welding equipment, and
spark igniters.

Physical Mounting

The following information applies about physically mounting the unit.

 You can mount the VWG in any orientation. It is not necessary to remove the

cover before mounting.

 Mounting on a 35mm wide DIN rail is recommended. The VWG unit base has a

molded DIN rail slot and locking clip.

 If DIN rail mounting is impractical, you can use screws in mounting tabs on the

VWG

The following procedure provides step-by-step DIN rail mounting instructions for the VWG.
