CHAPTER 2: GETTING STARTED
2.3.1.6 Mounting in a DIN Rail System
The DIN rail bracket rides on the bottom of the Multinet4 and is attached with four screws
into the two pair of screw holes located toward the back of the Multinet4. The bracket
attaches to the DIN rail by means of a pair of stationary prongs near the top of the bracket
and a single spring-loaded prong (the release mechanism) toward the bottom of the
bracket.
To fasten the Multinet4 into a DIN rail system begin by slipping the upper pair of prongs
over the top of the rail. Then, while depressing the spring-loaded release mechanism (as
illustrated in the figure below), press the Multinet4 flush against the DIN rail and remove
the screwdriver to allow the release mechanism to close. Check to make sure that the top
and bottom prongs on the bracket are securely attached to the DIN rail.
When the Multinet4 is fastened into the DIN rail system it can be released by downward
pressure on the release mechanism. The DIN rail bracket supplied with the Multinet4 is
equipped with a metal “tail” that projects below the chassis of the mounted Multinet4. To
unmount the Multinet4 insert the tip of a screwdriver into the slot a the bottom of this tail
and pull up on the handle of the screwdriver to force the release mechanism down.
