6.1. Mounting
6.1.1. DIN rail mounting
The radio modem RipEX is directly mounted using clips to the DIN rail. The mounting can be done
lengthwise (recommended) or widthwise; in both cases with the RipEX lying flat. The choice is made
by mounting the clips, one M4 screw per clip. RipEX is delivered with two clips, two screws and four
threaded holes. Only use the M4×5 mm screws that are supplied. Use of improper screws may result
in damage to the RipEX mainboard!
