Installing Modules on the DIN Rail
Mount modules side by side on a 35mm ( 1 .378 in.) standard DIN rail.
▪
First, attach the electronics bases to the DIN rail by pushing the base straight-
in towards the rail (
1 ).
Be sure that all featherkeys and keyways on adjacent modules are interlocked
(2). First, align the featherkey of the module with the keyway of the previous
module. Then, attach the new module to the DIN rail by pushing it straight in
toward the rail. Do not twist or pivot the module during installation; that may
damage the modules.
▪
Next, attach the Terminal Strip to the module.
First, place the front latch in the front snap-on mechanism (3).
Then pivot the top of the Terminal Strip towards the module until the back
latch snaps into place (4).
The keyways of a module do not continue on the Terminal Strip. When snapping
on an module, there must be no Terminal Strip on the left-hand side of the
module. If a Terminal Strip is present, remove it before installing the next module.
