• When mounting, be sure not to contaminate the connections. The contamination dam-
ages the contacts, which can limit the reliability of the contacts.
8.1.4 Note on Protecting against Heat Generation by the Product
During operation, the product can get hot! Therefore, always note the following informa-
tion:
• Cooling of the product must not be impaired
• Ensure that the air supply is unobstructed
• Do not install the product near sources of strong heat
• Do not install the product on or in the vicinity of easily flammable materials
8.1.5 Installation Distances
No particular distances need to be maintained between the field I/O modules, or between
a module and a cabinet door or cover. The installation distances are determined exclu-
sively by the plugs and cables used and their bending radii. Depending on the housing, a
field-assembly pluggable connector may protrude past the edge of the housing.
Where high surrounding air temperatures occur at the same time as high current loads,
field I/O modules should not be installed directly next to each other, to prevent them from
each other and to give them a large surface to dissipate heat to the surrounding air.
8.1.6 Installation
You can install the product directly on your equipment with screws. Mount the product on
a flat, fixed surface with two screws, each of which screws into a threaded hole. You can
find the tightening torque specifications in
8
.
The procedure for this is as follows:
1. Hold the product up to the desired position and mark the two locations where the
threads should be cut. Ensure that there is sufficient space around the product to en-
able you to connect all cables without difficulty.
2. With the M4 thread cutter, cut one M4 thread at each of the marked locations. If appli-
cable, pre-drill with the drill.
3. Use the Allen key to screw the product into the threaded holes with two M4 cylinder
head screws of adequate length on the top and bottom. Observe the tightening
torque.
8.1.7 After Installation
Note the information on grounding.
8.1.8 Grounding
Functional Ground
The L-coded M12 pluggable connectors of the product’s power supply have one FE
(functional ground) pin, which is connected to the metal housing of the product. The metal
housing in turn has a central grounding point for functional ground. You can ground the
module as follows:
• Grounding via the metal housing, and/or
• Grounding via functional ground of the power supply connection, and/or
