Installation

Mounting the MLS-PM

This section tells you how to mount the MLS-PM.

NOTE

Mount the MLS-PM before you mount any other
component of the MLS. The processor module's
placement affects placement and wiring for the
MLS-AIM, MLS-PS, etc.

Mounting Environment

Install the MLS-PM in a location free from excessive (>50

º

C) heat,

dust, and unauthorized handling. The MLS-PM's 1/8 DIN package can
mount in panels up to 0.2" thick. Its dimensions are 1.89" x 3.78" x 6.1"
(48 x 96 x 156 mm), as shown below.
