1.
Position the mounting base vertically above the installed units (adapter, power
supply, or existing module).
2.
Slide the mounting base down to make the interlocking side pieces engage the
adjacent module or adapter.
3.
Press firmly to seat the mounting base on the DIN rail.
The mounting base will snap into place.
Install the Module
Install the module before or after base installation. Make sure that you:
•
correctly keyed the mounting base before installing the module into the
mounting base
•
positioned the mounting base locking screw horizontal with reference to the base
To install the module proceed as follows.
1.
Using a bladed screwdriver, rotate the keyswitch on the mounting base clockwise
until the number required for the type of module you are installing aligns with
the notch in the base.
2.
Make certain the DIN rail locking screw is in the horizontal position.
You cannot insert the module if you have unlocked the locking mechanism.
3.
Insert the module straight down into the mounting base and press to secure.
The module will lock into place.
ATTENTION:
Do not discard the end cap. Use this end cap to cover the exposed
interconnections on the last mounting base on the DIN rail. Failure to do so
could result in equipment damage or injury from electric shock.
ATTENTION:
When you insert or remove the module while backplane power is
on, an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous
location installations.
Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding.
Repeated electrical arcing causes excessive wear to contacts on both the
module and its mating connector. Worn contacts may create electrical
resistance that can affect module operation.
