6. MECHANICAL DETAILS
6.1 Mounting the Panel on a DIN Carrier Rail
The EX2xx series can be clipped onto a standard DIN/ES carrier rail. Suitable rails are the TS32
'G' section rail or TS35 'top hat' section rail. Figure illustrates the method of mounting to the two
types of rail.
Figure 6.0 - Mounting an EX2xx series card on a DIN Rail
The frame includes three plastic carrier feet, which are all assembled in the same direction.
Locate the fixed slot of each foot over the appropriate rail edge and carefully press the whole
assembly down onto the rail until all four feet click into position.
To dismount the EX2xx series card in its frame, lift all three 'handles' to release from one rail
edge and unhook from the other edge.
6.2 Mounting the EX233 Board on a Flat Panel
If the EX233 card is to be mounted on a flat panel, four insulated spacers are required. The
dimensions of the mounting hole centers are given in Figure 6.1. Fixing screws are 3mm Ø.
