DIN-Rail Mounting the Magnum 6KM
The
Magnum 6KM is designed for use in a
“factory floor” industrial environment. It is available
with an optional DIN-Rail bracket to mount it
securely in a metal factory floor enclosure,
maintained vertically for proper convection cooling
of the unit. The Magnum 6KM requires one DIN-
Rail bracket for secure mounting. See a 6KM
viewed from the bottom, at the rear, showing the
DIN Rail in place.
The DIN Rail bracket is mounted to the
bottom of the 6KM unit, as shown. Four threaded
holes are provided on the bottom of the 6KM for
DIN-Rail mounting purposes. The required four
screws are included with the DIN-Rail bracket, and
are no. 4-40 x 9/32 PHIL. PAN Head. The rail clip is
spring-loaded with a pull-up latch at the top for easy
“snap-on” attachment and removal.
To install the 6KM with the DIN-Rail bracket installed, hold the 6KM in the
side vertical position with the bottom out, and with the top moved in toward the DIN-
Rail. Position the DIN bracket over the top of the DIN-Rail. Then, snap the bracket into
holding position by moving the bottom of the 6KM inwards to a vertical position. The
DIN-Rail bracket is heavy duty, and will hold the 6KM securely in position, even with
cabling attached to the unit.
To release the 6KM from the DIN-Rail mounting, push the spring loaded slide
down until the unit release from the DIN rail, disengaging the DIN rail bracket from the
DIN rail. Once the bottom of the 6KM is rotated out, the DIN-Rail bracket is not engaged
and the 6KM can be moved up and out, free of the DIN-Rail mounting.
The DIN-Rail mounting bracket is optional and needs to be ordered as separate
items, e.g Model # DIN-RAIL-6KL.

Mounting Dimensions for 6KM with metal brackets
Each Mangum 6KM is supplied with metal mounting brackets and screws to
mount the unit securely on a panel or wall. It is recommended to mount the 6KM
vertically in one of the two mounting positions available, as shown below, for proper
cooling and long-life reliability. It is also advisable to mount the unit with space for air
movement around the top and the sides, typically a minimum of 1 inch.
Note:
The metal brackets supplied, hold the back of the 6KM unit out from the
panel or wall behind it, creating a rear space of about 1/8 inch or 3mm. This allows
air circulation and cooling of the rear part of the case.
