Mounting the RAM 9000 Cellular RTU
There are three different ways to mount a RAM 9000 series unit:
•
Horizontally using two (2) screws (#6 up to #10) onto its horizontal mounting feet.
•
Vertically using two (2) screws (#6 up to #10) onto its vertical mounting feet.
•
Vertically on a DIN rail using the supplied DIN rail clip.
Note:
Allow enough room to route the Ethernet, serial, I/O and other cables.
DIN Rail Mounting & Removal
The RAM 9000 has a DIN rail clip pre-mounted to the back of the unit. To panel mount the unit,
the clip must be removed by removing the three (3) screws holding it in place. See the image at
right for reference.
The DIN clip has an integral spring mechanism that keeps it securely attached to the rail. Refer
to the diagrams below for how to mount and remove the unit to a standard EN50022 DIN rail.
Note:
For best performance it is recommended that a DIN rail spacer (such as an end
clamp) be used between the RAM 9000 and adjacent devices. This will leave an adequate air gap
for proper heat dissipation away from the device case.
