POINT I/O 5V DC and 24V DC Very High Speed Counter Module
Publication 1734-IN003F-EN-E - January 2014
Install the Mounting Base
To install the mounting base on the DIN rail, proceed as follows:
1. Position the mounting base vertically above the installed units (adapter, power
supply or existing module).
2. Slide the mounting base down allowing the interlocking side pieces to engage the
adjacent module or adapter.
3. Press firmly to seat the mounting base on the DIN rail. The mounting base snaps
into place.
Install the Module
The module can be installed before or after base installation. Make sure that the mounting
base is correctly keyed before installing the module into the mounting base. In addition,
make sure the mounting base locking screw is positioned horizontal referenced to the base.
ATTENTION:
This product is grounded through the DIN rail to chassis ground.
Use zinc plated yellow-chromate steel DIN rail to assure proper grounding. The
use of other DIN rail materials (for example, aluminum or plastic) that can
corrode, oxidize, or are poor conductors, can result in improper or intermittent
grounding. Secure DIN rail to mounting surface approximately every 200 mm
(7.8 in.) and use end-anchors appropriately.
ATTENTION:
Do not discard the end cap. Use this end cap to cover the exposed
interconnections on the last mounting base on the DIN rail. Failure to do so
could result in equipment damage or injury from electric shock.
ATTENTION:
When you insert or remove the module while backplane power is
on, an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous
location installations.
Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding.
Repeated electrical arcing causes excessive wear to contacts on both the
module and its mating connector. Worn contacts may create electrical
resistance that can affect module operation.
