ELECTION
The installation site for the module should be chosen with several considerations in
mind:
The unit has an open chassis and will therefore require some protection from the
elements.
Conduit access for field power wiring is provided through the bottom surface of the
enclosure, and for control / status through the top.
The unit will require a minimum clearance of two (2) inches above and below it to
allow for proper airflow for cooling. Avoid mounting the RTM with its bottom air
intake near heat sources.
The mounting surface should be clean and dry.

OUNTING
Once the installation site has been selected as outlined above, the unit should be
mounted in place. The RTM enclosure is provided with mounting slots and slotted
holes to be mounted on 1/4” diameter studs or bolts. Required mounting hardware is
not supplied with the RTM.
Mounting holes should be drilled and mounting studs or anchors installed before
positioning the enclosure. Once the studs or bolts are in place the RTM can be hung
in position. Be sure all mounting hardware is tightened securely.
To determine the correct mounting dimensions and provisions for the unit being
mounted, refer to the Dimensional Outlines in Section 6.4 of this manual.
