sure that is suitable for its environment. The IQ 300 Display and IQ 300 Base
Modules may be mounted together or separately. The IQ 300 is designed with
flexibility in mind. While it is recommended that the IQ 300 Display Module be door-
or panel-mounted, the Base Module may be attached to the IQ 300 Display Module;
mounted remotely using the supplied L-bracket; directly to a panel or floor; or
attached to a DIN rail using the supplied DIN clip. For floor or panel mounting, a #10
(10-32) or #12 (12-28) screw is recommended.

Display Module Chassis
must
be connected to earth ground.
