Mount the Module

Mount the module on a 35 x 7.5 mm (1.38 x 0.30 in.) DIN rail, Allen-Bradley
part number 199-DR1, 46277, EN 50022.
ATTENTION: This product is grounded through the DIN rail to
chassis ground. Use zinc plated yellow-chromate steel DIN rail to
assure proper grounding. The use of other DIN rail materials (for
example, aluminum or plastic) that can corrode, oxidize, or are poor
conductors, can result in improper or intermittent grounding.
Secure DIN rail to mounting surface approximately every
200 mm (7.8 in.) and use end-anchors appropriately.
TIP
Rockwell Automation Publication 1786-IN012B-EN-P - November 2010
Horizontal mounting is preferred. Vertical mounting is allowed.
We recommend that the 1786-RPA/B repeater adapter module be
mounted at the top if vertical mounting is chosen.
