NOTE
. Refer to the Quick Start User manual for your instrument about the
interaction between large and small module compartments.
The guide rails allows you to create a stable environment for the remote
modules. One guide rail is provided for each remote module.
Attach the guide rail to a fixture (or desktop) using the two mounting screws
(provided). The holes in the fixture must have 4--40 threaded holes spaced
1.25 inches (31.8 mm) apart (measured from center of hole).
Once you’ve secured the guide rail to a surface, slide the remote module onto the
rail, engaging the tracks on the bottom of the remote module.
NOTE
. The tracks on the remote module and guide rails must be properly mated
to ensure a firm attachment. One track on the module is larger than the other.
The larger track must engage the ball plungers on the guide rail. See the detail
in Figure 4.
The end plate mounting holes also allow you to create a stable environment for
the remote modules. There is one hole in each module end plate: one in the front
end plate and one in the rear end plate. You will need to provide the mounting
apparatus to use with these mounting holes.
The front and rear end plate spacing is 2.95 inches (75.0 mm) and the mounting
holes are located co-axially in line as shown in Figure 4. Each mounting hole is
threaded for a 4-40 machine screw to a depth of 0.38 inches (9.5 mm). The
bottom of the mounting holes are closed in order to prevent accidental damage to
the internal circuits of the remote module from the machine screws.
CAUTION.
Do not use machine screws in the end plate mounting holes that can
protrude deeper than 0.38 inches (9.5 mm). Such screws may bottom out in the
closed mounting holes and damage the screw threads or break off.
