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 switch. 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 infor-
mation.
Note!
A corrosion-free mounting rail is advisable.
When installing, make sure to allow for enough space to properly install
the cabling.
2.4.1.1
Installing the DIN-Rail Mounting Kit
1.
Position the rear panel of the switch 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
switch to rotate the switch 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.
