DIN Rail Installation Procedure
Installing the ioPAC 8500 on a DIN Rail
The DIN rail attachment plate should already be fixed to the back panel of the ioPAC 8500 when you take it out
of the box. If you need to reattach the DIN rail attachment plate to the ioPAC 8500, be sure the spring-loaded
bracket is situated towards the bottom, as shown in the figures below.
NOTE
A wall mount kit can be purchased separately.
STEP 1: If the spring-loaded bracket is locked in place, push the
recessed button to release it. Once released, you should feel
some resistance from the spring as you slide the bracket up and
down a few millimeters in each direction.
STEP 2: Insert the top of the DIN rail into the top
slots on the DIN rail attachment plate.
STEP 3: The DIN rail attachment unit will snap into
place as shown in the illustration below.
Removing the ioPAC 8500 from a DIN Rail
To remove the ioPAC 8500 from a DIN rail, use a screwdriver to push down
the spring-loaded bracket until it locks in place, as shown in the diagram at
the right. Next, rotate the bottom of the switch upwards and then remove the
switch from the DIN rail.
