The Din Rail Latching clips are mounted on the upper side
corners of the 6KQ unit. Two threaded holes are provided on the sides of 6KQ for DIN-
Rail mounting purposes. See side view at the left. The required two screws are included
with the DIN-Rail brackets, and are no.10-32 X 3/8 PHIL. PAN w/star washer. The two
heavy-duty Din-Rail latches are designed as if that they can be manually accessed from
the top when the 6KQ is installed on a DIN Rail.
To install the 6KQ with the DIN-Rail brackets and latches attached to it, hold the
6KQ in the side vertical position with the bottom out, and with the top moved in toward
the DIN-Rail. Position the latches over the top of the DIN-Rail. Then, snap the latches
into holding position by moving the bottom of the 6KQ inwards to a vertical position.
The DIN-Rail latches and brackets are heavy duty, and will hold the 6KQ securely in
position, even with cabling attached to the unit.
To release the 6KQ from the DIN-Rail mounting, press the top of the two DIN-
Rail latches down simultaneously to release the 6KQ so that it can be dismounted by
pulling the bottom out. Once the bottom of the 6KQ is rotated out, the DIN-Rail latch is
not engaged and the 6KQ can be moved up and out, free of the DIN-Rail mounting.
The picture in Section 3.3 shows vertical mounting of Magnum 6KQ as it about
to be mounted on a DIN-Rail track for proper convection cooling of the unit. Note that
there is air space in the rear, as the 6KQ unit is held out from the rear of the panel by the
mounting brackets. The 6KQ design uses the case for cooling (patent pending), and
needs to be mounted vertically with air flow space around it in the front, rear, and sides.
The DIN-Rail mounting brackets and latches are optional and need to be ordered
as separate items, e.g Model # DIN-RAIL-6KQ

Mounting Dimensions for 6KQ with metal brackets
Each Mangum 6KQ is supplied with metal mounting brackets and screws to
mount the unit securely on a panel or wall. It is recommended to mount the 6KQ
vertically, 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 that the metal brackets supplied hold the back of the 6KQ unit out from the
panel or wall behind it, creating a rear space of about ¼ inch or 1cm. This allows
