Panel Mounting Procedure Using Modules as a Template
This procedure lets you use the assembled modules as a template for drilling holes
in the panel. Due to module mounting hole tolerance, it is important to follow
these procedures.
1.
On a clean work surface, assemble no more than three modules.
2. Using the assembled modules as a template, carefully mark the center of all
module-mounting holes on the panel.
3. Return the assembled modules to the clean work surface, including any
previously mounted modules.
4. Drill and tap the mounting holes for the recommended M4 or #8 screw.
5.
Place the modules back on the panel, and check for proper hole alignment.
6. Attach the modules to the panel by using the mounting screws.
7.
Repeat these steps for any remaining modules.
DIN Rail Mounting
The module can be mounted by using the following DIN rails: 35 x 7.5 mm
(EN 50022 - 35 x 7.5) or 35 x 15 mm (EN 50022 - 35 x 15).
Before mounting the module on a DIN rail, close the DIN rail latches. Press the
DIN rail mounting area of the module against the DIN rail. The latches will
momentarily open and lock into place. DIN rail mounting dimensions are shown
below.
