To release the 6KL from the DIN-Rail mounting, simply lift up on the bottom
of the unit, disengaging the DIN rail bracket from the DIN rail. Once the bottom of the
6KL is rotated out, the DIN-Rail bracket is not engaged and the 6KL can be moved up
and out, free of the DIN-Rail mounting.
The DIN-Rail mounting bracket is optional and needs to be ordered as separate
items, e.g Model # DIN-RAIL-6KL.

Mounting Dimensions for 6KL with metal brackets
Each Mangum 6KL is supplied with metal mounting brackets and screws to
mount the unit securely on a panel or wall. It is recommended to mount the 6KL
vertically in one of the two mounting positions available, as shown below, for proper
cooling and long-life reliability. It is also advisable to mount the unit with space for air
movement around the top and the sides, typically a minimum of 1 inch.
Note:
The metal brackets supplied, hold the back of the 6KL unit out from the
panel or wall behind it, creating a rear space of about 1/8 inch or 3mm. This allows
air circulation and cooling of the rear part of the case.
For best cooling of the 6KL, attach the metal brackets to metal (rather than wood
or plastic). Attaching to metal helps conduct heat away from the 6KL through the
metal brackets and into the metal
support structure.
Since the 6KL has special internal
thermal techniques to move the heat
generated by the electronic
components inside into the case, the
case may be quite warm to the touch
during normal operation.
