DIN Rail Mount Applications
Mounting the controller horizontal on 35 mm DIN rail is
the preferred mounting method.
To mount an FX-PCG on 35 mm DIN rail:
1. Securely mount a 20 cm (8 in.) or longer section of
35 mm DIN rail horizontal and centered in the desired
space so that the controller mounts in the horizontal
position shown in
.
2. Pull the two bottom mounting clips outward from the
controller to the extended position (
).
3. Hang the controller on the DIN rail by the hooks at
the top of the (DIN rail) channel on the back of the
controller (
), and position the controller snugly
against the DIN rail.
4. Push the bottom mounting clips inward (up) to secure
the controller on the DIN rail.
To remove the controller from the DIN rail, pull the
bottom mounting clips out to the extended position
and carefully lift the controller off the DIN rail.
Wall Mount Applications
To mount an FX-PCG directly on a wall or other flat
vertical surface:
1. Pull the two bottom mounting clips outward and
ensure they are locked in the extended position as
shown in
.
2. Mark the three mounting hole locations on the wall
using the dimensions in
and one of the mount
positions shown in
. Or hold the controller up
to the wall or surface in a proper mount position and
mark the hole locations through the mounting clips.
3. Drill holes in the wall or surface at the locations
marked in
, and insert appropriate wall
anchors in all of the mounting holes (if necessary).
4. Hold the controller in place, and insert the screws
through the mounting clips and into the holes (or
anchors). Carefully tighten all of the screws.
Important:
Do not overtighten the mounting screws.
Overtightening the screws may damage
the mounting clips.
