to be able to remove the controller quickly. You can use the NI DIN rail mount kit to mount the
controller on a DIN rail. You need one clip for mounting the controller on a standard 35 mm DIN
rail. Refer to the
section for the accessory part number for your cDAQ
controller. Complete the following steps to mount the controller on a DIN rail.

Fasten the DIN rail clip to the controller using a number 2 Phillips screwdriver and M4 × 10
screws

. National Instruments provides these screws with the DIN rail mount kit. Tighten
the screws to a maximum torque of 1.3 N ·

installed as shown in Figure 1-19, with the larger lip of the DIN clip positioned up. When
the DIN rail kit is properly installed, the cDAQ controller is centered on the DIN rail.
