Fasten the module with 4 clamps each and a recommended torque of 18 Nm to the rails. If the
information of the clamp manufacturer differs from this recommendation, the values of the clamp
manufacturer are to be used.
You can see the defined clamp areas in Figure 2 (Chapter 5.1).
The framed module Q.SMART can be installed with commonly available clamp systems that sat-
isfy the following conditions.
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS OF THE CLAMP SYSTEM:
• Clamp width: ≥ 60 mm (Figure 2)
• Clamp height corresponding to 36 mm frame height (Figure 4)
• Clamp depth: 7 -12 mm (Figure 4)
• Clamp area (clamp depth x clamp width): ≥ 600 mm²
• Statics in accordance with the requirements of the location
