Installing the Modbus Router

DIN Rail Mounting

The DIN rail mount option is the quickest installation option. Additionally, it optimizes
the use of rail space.
The metal DIN rail kit is secured to the rear of the modbus router. The device can be
mounted onto a standard 35 mm (1.37") x 7.5 mm (0.3") height DIN rail. The devices
can be mounted vertically or horizontally. Refer to the following guidelines for further
information.
Note! A corrosion-free mounting rail is advisable.
When installing, make sure to allow for enough space to properly install
the cabling.
2.3.1.1 Installing the DIN-Rail Mounting Kit
1. Position the rear panel of the modbus router directly in front of the DIN rail,
making sure that the top of the DIN rail clip hooks over the top of the DIN rail, as
shown in the following illustration.
Warning! Do not install the DIN rail under or in front of the spring mechanism on
the DIN rail clip to prevent damage to the DIN rail clip or the DIN rail.
Make sure the DIN rail is inserted behind the spring mechanism.
2. Once the DIN rail is seated correctly in the DIN rail clip, press the front of the
modbus router to rotate the modbus router down and into the release tab on the
DIN rail clip.
If seated correctly, the bottom of the DIN rail should be fully inserted in the
release tab.
