Fixing
Protect connectors against soiling
Protect all connections from contamination during module installation! Protection class IP65 can
only be guaranteed if all cables and connectors are connected! Unused connections must be pro-
tected with the appropriate connectors! Connector sets see catalog.
Modules with narrow housing are installed with two M3 screws.
Modules with wide housing are installed with two M3 screws in the mounting holes in the corners or two M4
screws in the central fastening holes.
The bolts must be longer than 15 mm. The fastening holes in the modules have no thread.
Note when mounting that the overall height is increased further by the fieldbus connections. See the
Accessories section.
