Mounting
Mount the controller in a location that allows clearance for wiring, servicing, and
module removal.
Note
• This product is intended for indoor use only. The unit should not be
exposed to ambient conditions outside of the range of 32ºF (0ºC) to
122ºF (50ºC), or relative humidity outside the range of 10 to 90% at 77ºF
(25ºC), non-condensing. Refer to the
for further details on mechanical and storage specifications.
• Avoid mounting the controller in a manner that would make it difficult
to operate the disconnect device.
• Before mounting the controller, install any option card(s). See
Additional mounting information applies, as follows:

Environmental Requirements
Note the following requirements for the controller mounting location:
• If mounting inside an enclosure, that enclosure should be designed to keep the
unit within its required operating range considering a 20-watt dissipation by the
controller, plus dissipation from any other devices installed in the same enclosure.
This is especially important if the controller is mounted inside an enclosure with
other heat producing equipment.
• Do not mount the unit:
— in an area with excessive moisture, corrosive fumes, or explosive vapors.
— where vibration or shock is likely to occur.
— in a location subject to electrical noise. This includes the proximity of large
electrical contractors, electrical machinery, welding equipment, spark igniters,
and variable frequency drives.
Physical Mounting
The following information applies about physically mounting the unit.
• You can mount the controller in any orientation. It it not necessary to remove the
cover before mounting.
• Mounting on a 35mm wide DIN rail is recommended. The JACE-700 unit base
has a molded DIN rail slot and locking clip, as does the NPB-PWR-UN power
supply module and any I/O expansion modules. Mounting on a DIN rail ensures
accurate alignment of connectors between all modules.
• If DIN rail mounting is impractical, you can use screws in mounting tabs on the
NPB-PWR-UN module and the JACE-700, as well as any end-connected acces-
sory. Tab mounting dimensions are on the last page of this document.
