Mounting the BT/SN/RAM 6000 Series Modem
There are three different ways to mount a BT/SN/RAM 6000 series modem:
•
Horizontally using two #6 screws pan or fillister head onto its horizontal mounting feet
•
Vertically using two #6 screws pan or fillister head onto its vertical mounting feet
•
Vertically using a DIN rail clip
Note:
Allow enough room to route the Ethernet, serial, I/O and other cables.
DIN Rail Mounting & Removal
The BT/SN/RAM 6000 series has a DIN rail clip pre-mounted to the back of the unit. To panel
mount the unit, the clip can be removed easily by removing the three (3) screws holding it in
place. See the image at right for reference.
The DIN clip has an integral spring mechanism that keeps it securely attached to the rail. Refer
to the diagrams below for how to mount and remove the unit to a standard EN50022 DIN rail.
Note: For best performance it is recommended that a DIN rail spacer (such as an end clamp) be used between the
RTU and adjacent devices. This will leave an air gap for best heat dissipation off of the case.
