2.3 Fitting the valve terminal onto a wall
Caution
In the case of long valve terminals with several I/O mod-
ules, use additional support brackets for the modules (ap-
proximately every 200 mm). You can thereby avoid:
– overloading the fastening eyes on the left-hand end
plate
– the terminal sagging (I/O side)
– natural resonance
Proceed as follows:
1. Ascertain the weight of your valve terminal (weigh or
calculate). Reference values:

2. Make sure that the mounting surface can support this
weight. Check to see if you require support brackets for
the I/O modules.
3. If necessary, use spacers.
