Mounting
Observe these guidelines when mounting a field controller:
•
Ensure the mounting surface can support the controller, DIN rail, and any user-supplied enclosure.
•
Mount the controller horizontally on 35 mm DIN rail whenever possible.
•
Mount the controller in the proper orientation. If wall mount applications are not allowed for the FEU1610-0U,
then proper mounting position will only be as shown in
•
Mount the controller on a hard, even surface whenever possible in wall mount applications.
•
Use shims or washers to mount the unit securely and evenly on the mounting surface.
•
Mount the controller in an area free of corrosive vapors and observe the Ambient Conditions requirements
listed in the Technical Specifications section.
•
Provide for sufficient space around the controller for calbe and wire connections for easy cover removal and
good ventilation through the controller (50 mm [2 in.] minimum on the top, bottom, and front of the controller).
•
Do not mount the controller on surfaces prone to vibration, such as duct work.
•
Do not mount the controller in areas where electromagnetic emissions from other devices or wiring can
interfere with controller communication.
Observe these additional guidelines when mounting a controller in a panel or enclosure:
•
Mount the controller so that the enclosure walls do not obstruct cover removal or ventilation through the
controller.
•
Mount the controller so that the power transformer and other devices do not radiate excessive heat to the
controller.
•
Do not install the controller in an airtight enclosure.
Wall Mount Applications
The FEU16 controller must be installed inside an FSCS panel; therefore, a wall mount application is not
acceptable.
DIN Rail Mount Applications
To mount the controller on a DIN rail inside the FSCS panel:
1. Securely mount a 20.3 cm (8 in.) or longer section of DIN rail horizontally and centered in the desired space so
that the controller mounts in the horizontal position shown in
Figure 2: Required Orientation for DIN Rail Mount Applications
2. Ensure that the bottom two mounting clips are pulled outward and snapped firmly into the extended position.
