  • Page 9: Mounting And Dismounting To Din Rail

    Installation Mounting and Dismounting to DIN Rail This device is intended to be mounted on a 35 mm stan- dard DIN rail. The DIN rail mounting clip on the device is spring-loaded. No tool is needed to install or remove the device.
  • Page 10: Grounding

    If the DIN rail is bonded to the system ground, then the barrier connection through the DIN rail is adequate for system ground. NOTE: Always bond the G-Barrier to the ground screw. The equipment must be grounded to reduce the risk of static sparking and electric shock. Improper grounding can cause electric shock.

  • Page 15: Performance

    Performance Performance This trapezoidal barrier maintains a relatively constant output voltage until it reaches an output current of 125 mA. From this point, it resembles a linear barrier until it approaches an output current of 250 mA. Circuitry in the barrier reduces the output voltage to protect both the internal fuse and any associated apparatus that may be shorting out.
