Mounting the ME4 on a DIN Rail
The back wall of the ME4 includes the retaining clip and guidance mechanics needed for
mounting on a 35 mm top hat DIN rail (depth: 7.5 mm or 15 mm).
The following steps are necessary:
»
Align the back wall of the ME4 to the DIN rail.
»
Clip the upper DIN rail guide groove onto the DIN rail, making sure that the retain-
ing clip is placed
behind
the DIN rail.
»
Firmly push the ME4 towards the DIN rail until its lower DIN rail guide groove clicks
into place on the rail.
The DIN rail must be mounted horizontally to ensure optimized
convection cooling. A tilt angle of ±10° is acceptable.
If the DIN-Rail system consists of more than two modules, use additional
screws for mounting the DIN rail carrying the ME4:
3 or 4 modules: use 1 additional screw
5 or 6 modules: use 3 additional screws
7 modules: 5 additional screws
